MTG: Freedom Caucus chair will knife you in the back - just like he did to Trump

Raw Story  

Republican firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is urging Virginia Republicans to oust incumbent Virginia congressman and far-right House Freedom Caucus chair Bob Good at the state's primary this month, warning her own party that Good will stab them in the back — "just like he did President Trump." "John is running against Bob Good, who is actually bad for Virginia, and who will stab you in the back like he did me," Trump said in the video." Greene shared the former president's video, and echoed his statements, addressing "America First Patriots," and saying Good will "stab you in the back just like he did President Trump," a reference to Good's actions after Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York. After Trump was convicted last week of all 34 charges — making him the first American president in history to be convicted of a felony ‚ the Trump campaign sent a cease-and-desist order to Good's reelection campaign demanding Good's team stop making yard signs and other goods that imply he received Trump's endorsement.
