Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns Trump ‘The Base Will Turn’ If

Topline

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., appeared to issue a veiled warning to President Donald Trump Monday over the Justice Department’s refusal to release the entirety of its Jeffrey Epstein findings—as Trump can’t shake the controversy that’s caused the biggest break with his base of his second term.

“You must take down every enemy of The People. If not. The base will turn and there’s no going back,” Greene tweeted Monday.

The tweet came after Trump last week instructed the Justice Department to release grand jury testimony in its Epstein probe in an apparent attempt to placate critics revolting against the agency’s decision not to release any more information.

Greene said “dangling bits of red meat no longer satisfies. They want the whole steak dinner and will accept nothing else,” she wrote, without naming Trump.

The backlash on the right continues two weeks after the Justice Department released a memo saying it wouldn’t reveal any additional details on the investigation and as Trump has sought to detract from the backlash and urge his supporters to stop talking about Epstein.

Greene, along with several other Republicans, including Reps. Tom Massie, R-Ky., Tom Barrett, R-Mich., and Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., are co-sponsors of a bipartisan bill that would force Congress to vote whether to release the files, though the House will reportedly wait until after its August recess to vote on the matter, Politico reported, citing unnamed sources.

Right-wing activist Jack Posobiec on Monday highlighted Fox News host Mark Levin’s reverse course on Epstein after he told Republicans on Sunday “we better be united” and “we can’t waste our time on Epstein,” despite Levin previously insisting the files should be released, including as recently as March, when he alleged Democrats were blocking the list from being released because “they don’t like the names on the list.”
