Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump Prosecutor Should Go After Rapists (Who Wants To Tell Her?) (newrepublic.com)

Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that the Fulton County district attorney should be “going after rapists,” not Donald Trump. Luckily for her, the Georgia indictment actually kills both birds with one stone.

Trump was indicted for a historic fourth time late Monday, and charged with racketeering for trying to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. District Attorney Fani Willis has not yet set a date for his arraignment, but she has issued arrest warrants for Trump and his 18 co-defendants.

Speaking to Newsmax on Tuesday evening, Greene argued that Willis should focus more on addressing sexual predators.

“Fani Willis should be going after child sex predators and traffickers,” Greene said. “Fani Willis should be going after murderers, rapists.”

People tend to focus on those who break the law, yes.

Sure, they’re all a bunch of terrific people. Trump is the ONLY high profile person ever to step foot on that island. Sure, Jan. Sworn testimony means nothing without evidence anyways. It’s called hearsay. I know a guy that knows a guy. Zero credibility.

  1. Wanting Trump to face consequences for breaking the law does not mean I think others shouldn't face consequences for breaking other laws, that's the dumbest argument I've heard in a while. Liberals and those further left regularly say that when democrats break the law, they should be punished. I've only seen conservatives bitch and moan when their politicians break the law, like democracy is a team sport.

  2. There's very likely written and audio correspondence damning Trump in these indictments. We'll see for sure when the trial starts.

  3. You conflating all sworn testimony with hearsay makes me think you don't actually know what those words mean.

But sure, Cleetus, we only hate breaking the law when republicans do it. $100% 👌

You need real tangible proof regarding Epstein. There’s a reason why they murdered the guy though. Ya think? Cleetus?
