Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.

The latest internal MAGA kerfuffle began when MTG—who belongs to the "release the Epstein files like you promised" faction of supporters of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump—declared her pushing the Epstein issue put her in danger.

MTG used her personal X account to share a post from her official congressional account about her support for the Massie Epstein discharge petition.

Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie's discharge petition would force Congress to take a vote on releasing the Epstein files, publicly exposing who in the GOP does and doesn't want to protect girls and women from sexual assault and human trafficking—something Republicans have been using as an excuse for attacking trans women specifically and the LGBTQ+ community in general.

MTG's official congressional account post, dated September 27, read:

"To be clear to set the record straight on my support for the Massie Epstein discharge petition. I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped. Period. Every time. At all times."

"For me, it’s not about a pissing contest between political parties or political enemies. The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed."

The rest of her post was full of excuses for Trump being in the files and misinformation to try to deflect blame onto Democrats for withholding the files. MAGA apologists claim Democrats had four years to release the files, which were compiled by Trump’s Department of Justice to indict and arrest his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein in July of 2019.

All of these documents would have become part of the official court records if Epstein had not died while in the custody of Trump's DOJ in August of 2019. But files were sealed by the court until the conclusion of a civil case against Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in 2024 when some file were unsealed.

At that time, it was Trump who made releasing the full Epstein files and exposing everyone who took part in the exploitation and trafficking of girls and women a campaign promise and a rallying cry during the 2024 presidential campaign.

MTG's caption, when she reshared that post on her personal X account 12 minutes later, read:

"I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet."

"I have full faith in God and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. As a sinner, I am only saved through His grace and mercy."

"With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out."

"Not only about this issue, but because of the truth that I have been speaking."

"The People understand what I’m saying."

Most people interpreted MTG's message to be a reference to Epstein's death (while in the custody of Trump's DOJ) by suicide (as determined by a member of Trump's DOJ).

But Cruz decided MTG's message was about Jews, sharing her post with the caption:

"Why do crazy people keep thinking ‘the Jews’ are trying to kill them?"

Cruz then doubled down, posting:

"To all the bots saying she never mentioned the Jews, it says 'find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions'."

"She’s talking about Belgians? Argentinians?"

"As she said 'the People understand'. Yes we do."

Then, to again exploit the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for his own political gain, Cruz added:

"And no, Israel didn’t murder Charlie [Kirk]."

But people pointed out it was Cruz telling on himself by leaping to "Jews."

Several foreign political figures, including British royal Prince Andrew, have been implicated as paying customers of Epstein, based on survivor accounts.

What is Cruz, other Trump sycophants, and the White House trying to prevent through their intimidation and threats?

If Massie's discharge petition gets enough votes, MAGA GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson would have to bring the Epstein Files Transparency Act—a bill backed by Massie and California Democratic Representative Ro Khanna—to a vote.

Their measure requires the release of flight logs, plea bargains, internal communications about the Epstein case, and various other documents.

The discharge petition is currently just one vote shy of passing.
