MTG Whips Conspiracy Theorists Into Frenzy: 'I'm Not Suicidal'

The MAGA firebrand asked her supporters to play detective and figure out which “powerful people” might want to silence her for good.

Marjorie Taylor Greene unsettled her supporters on Saturday after posting a message to her personal X account clarifying that she’s “not suicidal.”

The seemingly out-of-nowhere declaration came just 12 minutes after the Georgia congresswoman posted a long message to her official “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene” X account, in which she doubled down on her demands for the Jeffrey Epstein files to be released, as fellow Republicans attempt an eleventh-hour bid to prevent a House vote on the issue.

In the earlier message, MTG attempted to “set the record straight” on her continued support for the discharge position filed by Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, one of President Donald Trump’s loudest Republican critics in Congress, which seeks to force the release of the Epstein files.

“I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped. Period. Every time. At all times,” Greene wrote.

“For me, it’s not about a p---ing contest between political parties or political enemies,” she continued. “The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed.”

Sounds as if she's getting a little concerned about getting whacked for her support for the release of the Epstein files...

I would expect anything happening to MTG. But by all means, Marge, rile up your CT fans. What could go wrong, eh?

However, the margin is really just the one vote. Even after Grijalva is eventually sworn in, Massie + MTG + Bobo + Mace + all Dems just get it to the needed 218. If one is lost there is a vacant seat due to a deceased Dem having a special election in Nov (TX-18), but that is a 2-3 month delay. If two are lost there is no prospect.

I think that she is making an honest statement about what she thinks is involved in this scandal. Don't get me wrong -- I do not like her, and am prone to making rude jokes about her that are accurate. But I understand that she views risk factors that way.
