Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), previously among President Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters, delivered a brutal postmortem on the MAGA movement Wednesday, declaring the “dying” movement had finally reached its “late stage” after a recent violent attack at a Trump rally.
At Trump’s Tuesday rally in Youngstown, Ohio, a woman wearing a shirt bearing the message “RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES” was attacked by at least two rally attendees, multiple videos showed. The woman was “pawed” at, as described by NBC News, and pushed down by the two men before being escorted out of the venue by police.
During the incident, Trump could be heard accusing the woman — whom he referred to as a “fat guy” who needed to “go on a diet” — of being a “paid protester.”
The incident, Greene said, made the current MAGA movement “unrecognizable” to her.
“A woman with a ‘Release The Epstein Files’ shirt stands at a Trump rally shouting at Trump to release the Epstein files and gets physically beaten by the MAGA men around her, who probably call themselves Christians. Then our obese President makes fun of her calling her ‘fat’ and ‘him’ claiming she’s a paid protestor,” Greene wrote.
“MAGA rallies used to be filled with people who agreed with releasing the Epstein files, defended women, and would step in if a woman was attacked. Now the dying remnant of MAGA is made up of people who emulate their cult leader. Attacking women, making fun of their looks, and turning on the victims of the elites.”
Greene — who said she had “attended more Trump rallies” than she could count — definitively declared that today’s MAGA movement had become the very opposite of what first drew her to it.
“It’s a cult, an ugly grotesque cult that does not display Christian values because the cult leader himself is not a Christian even though the vast majority who attend his rallies would identify as Christian,” she continued.
“Know them by their fruit. The fruit is rotten. Because the cult leader himself is a wolf in sheep’s clothing who has led the flock astray.”
Late stage MAGA is so disgusting and unrecognizable to me, and I find this shocking as one who attended more Trump rallies than I can count.A woman with a “Release The Epstein Files” shirt stands at a Trump rally shouting at Trump to release the Epstein files and gets physically beaten by the MAGA men around her, who probably call themselves Christians. Then our obese President makes fun of her calling her “fat” and “him” claiming she’s a paid protestor. She got thrown out and the men who attacked her got to stay.MAGA rallies used to be filled with people who agreed with releasing the Epstein files, defended women, and would step in if a woman was attacked.Now the dying remnant of MAGA is made up of people who emulate their cult leader.Attacking women, making fun of their looks, and turning on the victims of the elites. It’s a cult, an ugly grotesque cult that does not display Christian values because the cult leader himself is not a Christian even though the vast majority who attend his rallies would identify as Christian.Know them by their fruit.The fruit is rotten.Because the cult leader himself is a wolf in sheep’s clothing who has led the flock astray.
