- π― She stated that these women fought a horrific battle by banding together, drawing a parallel to her own fight against powerful individuals, including the President, to achieve a specific legislative goal.
Confronting Trump's Criticism
- π Greene addressed being called a "traitor" by Donald Trump, asserting her loyalty was to policies and "America First" despite fighting for him for years without obligation.
- β‘ She defined a traitor as an American serving foreign countries and themselves, contrasting it with a patriot who serves the United States and its people.
- π§ Greene believes her standing with the Epstein survivors, refusing to remove her name from a discharge petition, is an act of patriotism, not treason.
The Fight for Justice Department Files
- π The House overwhelmingly voted to pass a measure compelling the Justice Department to release its case files on Epstein, a bill that now moves to the Senate.
- β οΈ Greene highlighted that the real test will be whether the DOJ, CIA, and other institutions actually release the files, or if they remain tied up in investigations.
- π She also questioned whether the list of names held privately by survivors, due to fear, will ultimately be released.
Bipartisan Cooperation
- β Greene thanked Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna for their bravery in crossing the political aisle, calling it a much-needed action in America.
- π€ She emphasized that this bipartisan effort on behalf of the survivors is crucial for the country.
