I Was Just So Naïve’: Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump (New York Times love letter)
NY Times ^ | Robert Draper

Posted on 12/29/2025 11:26:13 AM PST by CaptainK

Eleven days after Charlie Kirk was killed in September, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the third-term Georgia congresswoman, was watching his memorial service on TV as the luminaries of the conservative movement and the Trump administration gathered to pay tribute to the young activist.

What stayed with Greene long afterward were the last two speakers who took the stage. First there was Kirk’s widow, Erika, who stood in white before the crowd filling the Arizona stadium, lifted her tear-filled eyes and said that she forgave her husband’s killer. And then there was President Trump. “He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose,” he said of Kirk. “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them.”

“That was absolutely the worst statement,” Greene wrote to me in a text message months after the memorial service.

In a nutshell it’s all about Epstein.

Kinda hard to love your enemies after having them try to destroy you and murder you.
I believe Trump was saying that Kirk was a much better man than Trump was because Kirk could forgive his enemies whereas Trump couldn’t.

That’s a lot of pomp for a woman who cheated on her husband, how many times?

More infighting being amplified.

Just ignore it.

Erica is a saint.
Trump is like everyone else.
Perhaps one day Trump will be a saint.
Perhaps one day I will be a saint.
I fear I will die first, unfortunately.

“”””Robert Draper is based in Washington and writes about domestic politics. He is the author of several books and has been a journalist for three decades.””””


I know little about Robert Draper. But, this long winded story was posted by NYT.

The main thing I got from reading the Trump hit piece is that MTG has been meeting with Draper from the get-go.

If MTG was a ‘true’ MAGA, then why was she meeting with anyone associated with NYT?????????????????

And this story confirms what is often said: “Washington DC is a cesspool where back-stabbing is a fine are.”

I sort of get that. But I don’t think Kirk’s service was the time or the place for that sentiment. Trump probably did not mean to but that statement put the attention on him and not on Kirk. I think impulse control is not Trump’s strong suit. At times it serves him very well at other times not so much.

“”””After months of background interviews with her top aides, I got word that she was willing to meet with me.

Early in 2022, I traveled to Rome, Ga., in the northwestern corner of the state, where the congresswoman lived.””””

Yes, in his own Trump way, Trump was saying that Charlie Kirk was a better Christian.

Part of me is glad that MTG has gone open with her “true feelings.” She always struck me as someone who was an insincere showboat, and now we know why.
