What Greene was doing today was attempting to shift the window back to the Approved Conservative Narrative. Abortion and illegal immigration are crucial issues, but they've also been deemed "safe" for the controlled opposition to openly discuss. They've been staple issues of conservative media for decades. Have made a lot of money for talk-show hosts and bloggers.
Pedophilia rings at the highest levels of government, the truth behind 9/11, a foreign power controlling our elections.... these issues are NOT SAFE to discuss, so if you're a rising conservative "rock star" you'll quickly distance yourself from them if you want to keep your career on track. (She disavowed the straw argument that 9/11 didn't HAPPEN, which no one in the world has ever claimed.)
Whether she did this under pressure or simply out of ignorance, I don't know. But she made a huge mistake today. Too many eyes have been opened for the controlled-oppo Right to get away with the kind of red-meat bullshit that sold ten years ago.
