Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made clear on Saturday afternoon that she has no intention of taking her own life after making the case for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The controversial conservative lawmaker appeared to be making the case that a “foreign government or powerful people” would attempt to silence her permanently to halt her efforts and, should she be found dead like the convicted pedophile in his jail cell, there needs to be an investigation.

Three hours later, she hinted that she fears for her life.

She wrote,” I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet. I have full faith in God and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. As a sinner, I am only saved through His grace and mercy. With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out. Not only about this issue, but because of the truth that I have been speaking. The People understand what I’m saying.”

Meanwhile Candace Owens seems to be implying today that Charlie Kirk's accused assassin is also at risk of being Epsteined

I hate to say this bc of all the insane conspiracy theories I've heard these two spout, but I feel like there is a decent chance these both might be legit concerns, but they've cried wolf (or Jewish space lasers) so many times in the past, nobody is taking them seriously now.

Nothing will happen, but if MTG does it offed because of the Epstein files. Then we are in interesting times.

I'm sure it will be blamed on the libs.

'We are all afraid’: Murkowski says fear of retaliation from Trump administration is ‘real’

Remember this from back in April? I just thought she meant they might try to sabotage her re-election...

Already ending up like stallin's people huh, WHO COULD HAVE CALLED THAT SHIT ON DAY ONE

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not so sure honestly. MTG is a true believer I think or is at least better at playing one than other Republicans. She has repeatedly said things that would have a MAGA republican posting on twitter a few hours later groveling to the god king for forgiveness but stuck to her guns.

To be clear I really really don't like jewish space lasers lady but I think she is an actual Qanon believer and not a LARPer.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Unironically I'm also in this boat. She's a good gague for the cultists.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

if ... X ... Then we are in interesting times.

To be honest, I think we passed that threshold some ways back now. I'd say we are pretty deep into "interesting times".

"Those dastardly Clintons have killed again!"

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 2 days ago (3 children)

MTG will be fine but that kid who killed kirk... Would fit better into the MAGA narrative dead than alive.

[–] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's very convenient that the guy who supposedly shot up the ICE facility is dead.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hey, he hated ICE so much he killed... detainees. Wait.

[–] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Hey, he wrote "anti-ice" on one bullet with a sharpie, that's pretty much a signed confession.

/s for those who need it

[–] DrWorm@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

He just likes warm drinks

Dead men ~~tell no tales~~ don't deny they belong to antifa.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

But he'll fit MUCH better as an example. They're not gonna throw away an opportunity to publicly execute him to show what happens if you dare to attack one of theirs. He's in custody, they're already spinning the narrative that he was brainwahsed into radical leftism, they're not gonna just knock him off. He's a pocket ace if they play their cards right.

Alleged assasins of fascist icons seem to have a weird habit of killing themselves before they can be questioned properly about anything

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 24 points 2 days ago

It's legit. We've heard of senators, congresspersons and judges saying the same things for months, in the MSM, no less. Take. Her. Seriously.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Of course they are legitimate concerns. Epstein was a warning, they can get anyone anywhere. They got Kirk, and they can get anyone.
