Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (Republican, Georgia) on Tuesday called special counsel Jack Smith a “weak little bitch” for prosecuting former US President Donald Trump.
The far-right firebrand lashed out at Smith after Trump said on Truth Social that he anticipates another criminal indictment after receiving a letter from Smith advising he is a target of the special counsel’s probe into the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
Smith is already prosecuting Trump in another federal case involving his mishandling of classified documents. The former president was indicted on 37 felony counts in that case last month.
“Jack Smith is a lousy attorney,” tweeted Greene, who was reportedly involved in planning Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the January 6 events that turned violent. “His career is filled with mistrials, overturned cases, and judicial rebukes. He only targets Republicans because he’s a weak little bitch for the Democrats.”
Smith is experienced in leading high-stakes cases against politicians in the US and abroad, according to The New York Times. He previously investigated war crimes in Kosovo and The Hague ― and both Republicans and Democrats, including Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat, New Jersey) and former senator and Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards.
“Little bitch” seems to be a new favourite in Greene’s vocabulary. Last month, she used it to insult fellow extremist lawmaker Rep. Lauren Boebert (Republican, Colorado), on the House floor.
Twitter users were in disbelief that this is what it’s come to:
