Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for PROTEST of Trump’s indictment

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for PROTEST of Trump’s indictment and says she will visit New York Tuesday when he is to be arrested and fingerprinted

  • Trump himself did not renew his call for protest in his own blistering statement
  • MTG called to protest probe she called ‘unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!’
  • Trump had earlier called for protest when he predicted his arrest days ago

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling for people to join her in protesting the indictment of former President Donald Trump – after Trump himself refrained from doing so in his most recent blistering statement.

The outspoken conservative, who this week rallied in favor of jailed January 6 defendants she calls political prisoners, issued the call hours after the historic sealed indictment by a Manhattan grand jury.  

‘I’m going to New York on Tuesday. We MUST protest the unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!’ she tweeted.

Her comment comes as members of the NYPD are preparing to counter any civil unrest, while Trump’s lawyers negotiated with prosecutors for him to surrender himself for arrest and fingerprinting Tuesday afternoon. Trump’s U.S. Secret Service security detail is also in talks with local law enforcement over his planned arrest at Manhattan Criminal Court.

Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina has said Trump won’t be handcuffed when he surrenders himself and is preparing to battle the charges with court motions.

Trump himself had demanded protest with his online post March 18th, when he said his own arrest was imminent.

‘THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!’ Trump posted earlier.

But in his angry statement Thursday night after news broke of the indictment, Trump failed to mention protests – instead vowing in a furious statement to ‘throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office.’  

Still not specified, the charges serve as the first time in history that an ex- president has faced a criminal case - with the exact allegations expected to be announced in the coming days The decision - announced Thursday afternoon - also marks the end of a years long investigation into $130,000 paid to Stormy Daniels, allegedly to buy her silence about their affair

 House GOP Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) called to harness the issue to drive up the Trump vote in November and calling for people to ‘peacefully organize.’

 ‘The unprecedented election interference from corrupt Socialist District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a political witch-hunt and a dark day for America. The radical Far Left will stop at nothing to persecute Joe Biden’s chief political opponent ahead of the 2024 presidential election to suppress the will and voice of the American people.’

‘Tens of millions of patriotic Americans have never been so energized to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully organize and VOTE at the ballot box to save our great republic by electing President Donald J. Trump in 2024,’ the Trump loyalist said.

Donald Trump’s furious statement blasting indictment as ‘political persecution’ 

‘This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.

Former President Donald Trump

Donald Trump called the indictment ‘unthinkable’

‘The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable – indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.

‘Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.

‘Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace. Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, he’s doing Joe Biden’s dirty work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg spends his time!

‘I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’
