MTG trolled for slamming Republicans for doing 'nothing' as Trump is convicted in hush money case
WASHINGTON, DC: The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump in the New York hush money trial sent shockwaves through the political world, igniting a firestorm of outrage from his staunch supporters.
At the center of this firestorm remains Marjorie Taylor Greene, who unleashed a blistering attack on her fellow Republicans for their perceived inaction and weakness in the face of what she deemed an unjust prosecution, as per Mediaite.
I agree with every single word here.

Republicans have done NOTHING to stop the Democrats from destroying our justice system and our freedoms.
Many Republicans would just quote the constitution as they are marched to the firing squad.
When good men do nothing, evil prevails. https://t.co/O2FSubZcZk
Marjorie Taylor Greene torches Republicans in wake of Donald Trump's guilty verdict
After the jury delivered the guilty verdict on Thursday, May 30, Julie Kelly, a self-described "J6 conspiracy theorist," voiced her discontent on social media.
She tweeted, "Republicans stood silent for 3 years as Biden’s DOJ/FBI investigated, raided, charged, prosecuted and incarcerated 1,400+ Trump supporters for Jan 6. They not only tacitly endorsed it but funded it."
Kelly further contended, "Of course this unprecedented conviction of Donald Trump would be the natural result. Today’s verdict is as much an indictment of GOP weakness and cowardice as it is the lawless Marxist tendencies of the Democrats."
Greene echoed Kelly’s sentiments, remarking, "I agree with every single word here. Republicans have done NOTHING to stop the Democrats from destroying our justice system and our freedoms."
She further lamented, "Many Republicans would just quote the constitution as they are marched to the firing squad. When good men do nothing, evil prevails."
The trial, which spanned six weeks, resulted in a unanimous guilty verdict from all twelve jurors. Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. The court proceedings featured testimonies from 22 witnesses, including Daniels.
Following the verdict, Trump went on a rant, claiming, "This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial… Our whole country is being rigged right now. This is being done by the Biden Administration in order to hurt or wound a political opponent."
While Trump could theoretically face prison time, a financial penalty is considered the more likely outcome.

A fifth user stated, "Because that would be obstruction of justice, Marje." A sixth pointed out, "You want a country where people like you are never held responsible for their actions. Guess what? This is a democracy and we all have a voice."
