Marjorie Taylor Greene torches MAGA after Andrew's arrest, says 'zero arrests' over Epstein
The UK has arrested Andrew because of the Epstein files and over here the President signed an EO protecting cancer causing Glyphosate in our foods and we have zero Epstein related arrest and investigations since release of the files.

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has sharply criticized the MAGA movement following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, arguing that the case highlights a stark contrast between accountability in the United Kingdom and the United States.
In a post on X, Greene pointed to the arrest as evidence that British authorities were acting on revelations linked to Jeffrey Epstein, while US officials were not.
“The UK has arrested Andrew because of the Epstein files and over here the President signed an EO protecting cancer-causing glyphosate in our foods and we have zero Epstein-related arrests and investigations since release of the files,” she wrote.
Greene added that the US was “on the verge of going to war against Iran,” calling it “the current state of MAGA and MAHA.”
Once a vocal cheerleader of President Donald Trump, Greene has in recent months emerged as one of the movement’s most outspoken internal critics.
Trump silent as scrutiny shifts to US
Trump has not commented publicly on Andrew’s arrest.
When Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal titles last year, Trump expressed sympathy for the British royal family without referencing the reasons behind the decision.
“I feel very badly. It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family,” Trump said at the time, adding that it was “a tragic situation.”

The arrest has now sharpened uncomfortable questions for the president, as critics noted that accountability for Epstein-linked figures appeared more visible overseas than at home.
Trump has repeatedly urged the country to “move on” from Epstein-related questions.
During recent congressional testimony, Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to Epstein-related questioning with sharp personal attacks, later earning praise from Trump, who claimed critics only cared about the issue for political reasons.
King Charles urges restraint and due process
Across the Atlantic, King Charles III said he learned “with the deepest concern” of the arrest of his younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and stressed that the legal process must proceed without interference.
In a formal statement, the King said that the matter would now be addressed through a “full, fair and proper process” by the appropriate authorities and emphasized that the investigation had the royal family’s “full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”
“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course,” he said, adding that he would not comment further while the investigation continues.
Thames Valley Police confirmed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, an offense that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the UK.
The arrest follows years of scrutiny over his association with Epstein, pressure that intensified after the recent release of millions of files by the US Department of Justice related to the late financier.
