"Earlier this month , Marjorie Taylor Greene said something that progressives might once have found astonishing: that "the Republican Party has a woman problem." It's part of her rebranding as an advocate of women, following her recent split from Donald Trump. The former MAGA loyalist, who recently resigned from the House of Representatives, joined Republican Tom Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna in a high-profile campaign to force the Department of Justice to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein."
"Greene hasn't stopped there. In December, she proposed inviting Epstein's victims to the Oval Office, something Trump refuses to do. The files, she laments, represent "everything wrong with Washington." And as a woman, she considers it particularly personal. "Greene herself had never been sexually abused, but she knew women who had," wrote The New York Times ' Robert Draper, after he conducted two lengthy interviews with her."
Marjorie Taylor Greene split from Donald Trump, resigned from the House, and positioned herself as an advocate for women by pushing for release of Jeffrey Epstein files. She joined Tom Massie and Ro Khanna in a campaign that led Congress to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act mandating public release of unclassified investigative materials. Greene proposed inviting Epstein's victims to the Oval Office and characterized the files as emblematic of problems in Washington. Greene said she had never been sexually abused but knew women who had, and she argued that Trump’s behavior drives women away from the Republican Party. Questions remain about her support for policies that limit bodily autonomy and her record on defending sexual-assault survivors.
