Marjorie Taylor Greene Posts (Then Deletes) Attack on Alleged Platner Rape Victim

Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene caught some well-earned heat after she posted — and quickly deleted — a sharp attack on the woman accusing Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner of rape.

In the since-removed post, Greene questioned why the accuser, Jenny Racicot, waited years to go public and suggested she was turning past consensual encounters into “rape for politics.”

The timing is more than a little ironic, coming from the same congresswoman who had spent months positioning herself as the loudest voice for Epstein survivors, pushing hard for a full release of the files, and ripping President Trump for allegedly slow-walking accountability for the elite.

"If you are raped or sexually assaulted, report it immediately," she insisted in her phantom post.

"Don’t wait for years later until the man runs for office to go to news outlets to tell your story."

"And if you had consensual sex with him years ago, don’t turn it into rape for politics with conflicting stories."

What makes Greene’s deleted post even worse is that she didn’t stop there.

She followed it up by pivoting straight into conspiracy territory, essentially suggesting the rape allegations against Platner were somehow tied to Israel.

"I do find it interesting that Platner is hated by AIPAC and rape accusations show up years later from a woman who dated him," she said in defense of her new Nazi-tattooed friend.

"I certainly hope any woman who is raped or sexually assaulted is safe and gets justice, that’s why it’s so important to report immediately and not wait years."

"I’m not taking sides, just making observations," she said, clearly taking sides and making insinuations.

To top it all off, Greene was quote-tweeting a Polymarket betting ad on whether Platner would drop out of the Senate race while taking shots at the accuser.

MTG deletes her original post excusing allegations that Graham Platner raped someone, to then make it about Israel.

Who is paying her for this?

All of this is odd, considering MTG spent months burnishing her image as this fierce advocate for Epstein survivors, hailing their courage for coming forward years after the abuse, and blasting anyone who stood in the way of information being released.

That included the President.

She preened in front of cameras day after day with her buddy, Democrat Rep.

Ro Khanna (CA-17), and her muse, Republican soon-to-be former Rep.

Thomas Massie (KY-4), talking about the bravery of survivors.

Racicot must not be the right kind of survivor for her tastes.

Now, because the woman is accusing Platner of "absolutely" raping her, it's nothing more than "rape for politics."

JAKE TAPPER: Did Graham Platner rape you?

JENNY RACICOT: By definition?

Yes, absolutely.

The same woman who once said, “These women have fought the most horrific fight that no woman should have to fight, and they did it by banding together and never giving up,” wasted no time attacking Platner’s accuser.

Until she realized just how bad it looked.

What a raging hypocrite.
