More than two dozen survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have reportedly sent a letter to a GOP lawmaker who has been speaking out against Donald Trump.
Trumps decision to lash out and make personal attacks on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) set off a civil war among MAGA followers who are taking sides and lamenting that the president is tearing their coalition apart. Those hurt by Epstein appear to have chosen Greene's side.
According to independent journalist Aaron Parnas, "NEW: 27 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein release new letter directed at [Greene], expressing their support for her as Donald Trump and those around him publicly attack her."
Addressed to Greene, the letter says, "Thank you for standing up against the intimidation, silencing, and abuse that Epstein survivors have endured for decades."

Plus Marge is doing it by being on the side of good.
A novel concept for MAGAs.
Even it if is just a stunt, it is better than her evil stunts.

Greene "was" one of Trump's most prominent cheerleaders. She may not break him single-handedly, but she's going to get MUCH more attention in Trumpland than a Democrat taking well-aimed shots at him.
I think we'd be the same, right? Republicans talk trash about us 24/7, the whole "Democrat Party" thing, but if one of our own...and I'm not talking about a Joe Manchin or Kirsten Synema, but an actual dyed-in-the-wool Democrat...started mouthing off, we would most likely go "What's up with THIS?" So it remains to be seen how much traction she'll gain, but I doubt she'll just be ignored by Republicans. He breaking ranks is "news."

If Democrats take back the House...major wins in the Senate would be tougher, but not impossible...THAT'S when Trump will have his Hitler's Generals moment.

(21,052 posts)I'm not in denial. I just refuse to accept his omnipotence. One of two things will happen before next November. Either he'll go scorched Earth with Martial Law of declaring war somewhere like Venezuela, or he'll cave like a rotten melon under the weight of Jeffy-Gate.
I think we need to move forward with our eyes wide open, but not in fear of Trump. He's not a God. He's a guy with a big mouth who used to sell steaks on the Internet.

Putin has had a good long run, but his days are closing now.
And America has a history of freedom, so who knows when Trump will be ridden out on a rail.
