Seems like something a child rapist president would do.
“Homeland security agents investigating sexual crimes against children…have been redeployed to the immigrant crackdown…hampering their pursuit of child predators…efforts to combat human smuggling and sex trafficking have languished…”

I'm actually shocked. Good on Dana Bash for asking the question, and I genuinely would not have expected Greene to answer the way she did.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I stood with President Trump when virtually no one else did…His remarks have been hurtful…The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me 'a traitor.' That is so extremely wrong…It all comes down to the Epstein files."

I am fourteen going on fifteen
Innocent as a rose
Pedophile pesters, creepy molesters
What do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of shame
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things that aren’t my blame
I had a creep, older, not wiser
'Cause Megyn Kelly said I'm fair game
