 ’75 million are watching’: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene trashes fellow GOP lawmaker for revelations against Trump     Dave Goldiner 2 hrs ago 

The #MAGA army is watching anyone who crosses President Trump.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) Saturday trashed a fellow GOP lawmaker as a “tool” of Democrats for revealing that Trump rebuffed desperate calls to protect the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.

The pro-Trump lawmaker denounced Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) for agreeing to testify about Trump’s inaction after House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy pleaded with him to do something to protect Vice President Mike Pence.

“A tool as a witness for the Democrats running the circus trial,” Greene said. “The Trump loyal 75 million are watching.”

Herrera Beutler’s revelation on the eve of what was supposed to be the final day of the impeachment trial threw the trial into chaos.


She says McCarthy told her in no uncertain terms that Trump rejected his effort to get him to do something to halt the riot that threatened the lives of Pence and scores of lawmakers. That contradicts Trump’s lawyers’ claim that Trump did everything he could to stop the violence.

Taylor Greene, who represents one of the most heavily Republican districts in the nation, is a right-wing extremist and an avowed supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory. She was ousted from her committee assignments over her boosting threats to Democratic leaders and claims that mass school shootings were hoaxes.

Herrera Beutler is one of just 10 Republican moderates who voted with Democrats to impeach Trump. She represents a swingy Pacific coast district.

The nasty Twitter spat suggests the GOP civil war over Trump is getting uglier. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) got in the face of fellow Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and accused him of stabbing Republicans in the back by supporting the Democratic push to allow witnesses.
