President Donald Trump's base is starting to "turn on" some key players because of how the administration has handled the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to one analyst.
Heather Parton, also known as "Digby," discussed the latest developments in the Epstein files saga with Sam Seder on a new episode of "The Majority Report" on Thursday. Parton argued that the divisions growing within the MAGA movement present a "problem" for the president.
Parton pointed to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) support for releasing the Epstein files as an example of MAGA's division.
"I think she's nuts, but nonetheless, on this particular issue, she is representing a fair number of MAGA people who see this as a cover-up and are beginning to see the cover-up is Donald Trump and the Republican party," Parton said.
"They're already hostile to Pam Bondi. They're hostile to Kash Patel, both of whom promised to release this stuff and didn't really do it," she continued. "They're starting to turn on members of Congress like Rep. James Comer (R-KY). And so, that tells you something. And that is why this thing is not going to go away."
Parton argued that it may be difficult for Trump to outrun the Epstein files story at this point.
"He knows that there is a problem for him among his own people," Parton said. "And so, I don't think it can go away. There's no way it can go away because these people will never be satisfied. I don't care what they put out at this point. They're not going to believe it."
