4:23Now PlayingDonald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, has accused Marjorie Taylor Greene of trying to bribe Donald Trump into making her his VP choice next year. Specifically, Mary says that a recent social media post by Greene was an attempt to show Donald that she will do whatever he wants her to do if she is chosen for the vice presidential slot on the ticket, and she did so by promising to protect, and likely pardon, the convicted Capitol Rioters. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Mary Trump, the niece of Donald Trump, stated unequivocally late last week that Marjorie Taylor Greene is attempting to bribe her. Uncle Donald, Mary Trump specifically said, Marjorie Taylor Greene just bribed Donald. That's pretty serious allegation, right? I mean, not necessarily a criminal one, because Trump does not hold any power, so you can't criminally charge anybody with anything. And Mary Trump's not alleging any criminal activity, but what she is doing based on the circumstances under which she made this comment, is she's pointing out that the media is not paying close enough attention to some of the crazy crap that Marjorie Taylor Greene is actually doing. So here's the backstory. Before I read you what Mary Trump put on social media in the Republican, uh, debate that took place, the most recent one in Alabama, Vikk remiss Swami got on stage and he said that nine, uh, not nine 11, uh, January 6th was an inside job, right?
The fed ion not an insurrection, a fed ion orchestrated by the federal government at that point. Next day, Marjorie Taylor Greene got on social media and she said, Vivek is right. J six was a fed ion. An undercover agent set people up with entrapment. Mary Trump says this, this is the moment that Marjorie Taylor Greene, and technically by extension Vikk Sami, both bribed Donald Trump to become his vice presidential candidate. And here's how that happened In Mary Trump's own words, why is this a big deal? They don't tell outrageous lies all the time. Here's what everyone is missing. This isn't the usual pandering to a wide unhinged base. Instead, it seems to be a plea to an audience of one. Donald Green and Rema Swami are making Donald two promises in exchange for giving them the coveted VP spot Green and Bros Swami both know they can't be president.
So they're both making it clear to Donald that they will follow his lead, even if, especially if he rules as a dictator. This is a historic shift. In the old days before 2023, vice presidents were often chosen to bring a key demographic to the ticket. Even if the presidential nominee had no personal connection to or respect for the vice presidential pick, Donald knows he'll need a pardon green and Ram Swami just gave the green light to that plan. I know for a fact that he's scared out of his mind about being imprisoned. He, he's actively seeking loyalists now who have the power to give him a get outta jail free card. So in order for this to necessarily come to fruition, as Mary Trump kinda lays it out here, what would have to happen is that Donald Trump, of course, would have to be, you know, convicted in the January 6th trial, the one in front of Judge Tanya Chut. And then he would still have to go on, even after a conviction, secure the Republican nomination,
Win in 2024, get sworn in, and then possibly get impeached or otherwise removed from office. At which point, green, having told Donald Trump, I believe you, that nothing bad happened January 6th Green would become president of the United States, then issue Donald Trump. A pardon? That's a horrifying thought. Now granted, it is a very farfetched thought. I mean, the likelihood of all of those dominoes falling directly into place, uh, I mean, there's less than a 1% chance of all of that happening, especially considering the fact that T
