Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., issued a warning to President Donald Trump on Monday on how his administration is handling information related to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
“If you tell the base of people, who support you, of deep state treasonous crimes, election interference, blackmail, and rich powerful elite evil cabals, then you must take down every enemy of The People,” Greene wrote in a post on X. “If not. The base will turn and there’s no going back. Dangling bits of red meat no longer satisfies. They want the whole steak dinner and will accept nothing else.”
Greene’s warning is one small part of the growing discontent from Trump’s MAGA supporters. The conspiracists among his base have been in shambles since the Department of Justice declined to release the “Epstein files.” Though Greene’s post doesn’t explicitly name Epstein or Trump, it follows the president’s directive last week to Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury transcripts from the Epstein investigation.
In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump said releasing more information won’t satisfy his critics.
“With that being said, and even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!” Trump wrote.
Last week, Trump called his supporters who still care about the Epstein case “weaklings.”
