Ben Ferguson on MTG Defending Epstein Survivors: ‘She Never Found a Camera She Didn’t Love’

ABRAMS: “But let’s not just blame Democrats. I blame Democrats. Let‘s also blame the far-right on this. They‘re the ones who‘ve been clamoring for years to get the Epstein files released, and suddenly many of them don‘t care about it. Which is why someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene deserves credit for intellectual consistency.”
PHILLIP: “And let me play — let me play Marjorie Taylor Greene on this, because I think she makes the point that you‘re making.”

Taylor Greene: “Today he called it a hoax while these women were speaking out. It‘s not a hoax because Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted pedophile. That takes away the whole hoax thing. It‘s not a hoax. It‘s not a lie. (...) One of the Trump admin officials came out and called this a hostile act against the Trump Administration. (...) Well, that coward attacks me and attacked anybody else and called it ‘a hostile act.’ The hostile act was Jeffrey Epstein raping 14-year-old girls. That was the hostile act. And it‘s not a hoax.”

QUINN: “You know what? In this conversation, the women and girls are getting lost. Yes, the Democrats did the wrong thing. And now President Trump is doing the wrong thing. Calling this a hoax, whether he‘s referring to — “
Ferguson: “He’s referring to the politics of it all.”
QUINN: “Whatever. But using that language, using that language and even the conversation tonight, who‘s to blame? We need to be focusing on these survivors and their stories. And we are not doing that enough.”
ABRAMS: “But that’s not the legal question we‘re asking.”
Ferguson: “Yeah. The question is, can you put everything out there and protect the victims?”
QUINN: “But the president minimizes this to politics. The survivors are asking — “
Ferguson: “Democrats are the only ones that went out there every day in front of these cameras to play politics.”
QUINN: “No. Marjorie Taylor Greene is not a Democrat any day of the week.”
Ferguson: “Let‘s be clear about — hold on, let me say this about Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
PHILLIP: “Hold on a second.”
Ferguson: “She‘s never found a camera she didn‘t love.”
PHILLIP: “Hold on a second.”
Ferguson: “I‘m not going to defend Marjorie Taylor Greene. I’m not a fan. I want to be clear.”
PHILLIP: “This is not about Marjorie Taylor Greene, okay? This is not about Marjorie Taylor Greene. Prior to this moment, even when Donald Trump was on the campaign trail, he was up there.”
Ferguson: “He was advocating for the victims.”
PHILLIP: “He was up there. He was saying, ‘We‘re going to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.’”
ABRAMS: “Kash Patel said it should have been day one.”
PHILLIP: “‘We‘re going to release Epstein files.’”
