TRUMP ASSASSINATION SCANDAL: \u2018Why the Cover Up?\u2019<\/i><\/b><\/h1>"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

Former Representative\u00a0Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a>\u00a0drew some backlash over the weekend when she shared a lengthy post from a user on X who questioned the circumstances surrounding the attempted assassination of President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Butler, Pennsylvania<\/a>, in 2024.<\/p>\n

“Corey Comperatore\u2019s wife and daughters deserve to know why Corey, a true American patriot and hero was murdered in Butler,” Greene, a Georgia Republican, wrote in a post on Saturday. “Trump said repeatedly ‘I am your retribution.’ Where is the retribution?”<\/p>\n

The former congresswoman stressed she did not share the post because she believed the shooting was a “hoax,” but rather because she agreed there needed to be questions asked of the\u00a0Secret Service<\/a>\u00a0and more transparency on findings.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not calling the Butler assassination a hoax,” Greene wrote in a post on Sunday. “But there are a lot of questions that deserve public answers.”<\/p>\n

Why It Matters<\/h2>\n

Greene\u2019s break with Trump\u00a0<\/a>marked a sharp reversal from her years as one of his most vocal allies, as she publicly accused him of abandoning the \u201cAmerica First\u201d agenda and escalating foreign conflicts she said betrayed core MAGA principles. The split escalated after disputes over U.S. military actions and the administration\u2019s refusal to release additional Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, prompting Trump to revoke his endorsement and denounce Greene in public statements.<\/p>\n

The spat is the latest salvo in an\u00a0ongoing split among prominent MAGA figures<\/a>, which Greene highlighted last week when she posted on X about “new” and “old” MAGA. Greene, who resigned from Congress earlier this year, described Trump\u2019s leadership as destabilizing and warned continued loyalty to him would cost Republicans future elections.<\/p>\n

She went further by calling for the GOP to be \u201cburned to the ground,\u201d arguing it had become captive to leadership and donors rather than voters, and distancing herself from what she described as a cult-like version of MAGA centered on Trump personally.<\/p>\n
