MAGA Fanatic Got Fetish Artist to Stage Bonkers Anti-Trump Attack: Feds

A woman who worked for Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew has been charged after allegedly staging a bizarre fake crime where she paid someone to assault her and write “TRUMP WHORE” on her own zip-tied body.

Natalie Greene, 26, a Rutgers law student, appeared in federal court on Wednesday, charged with one count of conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and one count of making false statements to federal law enforcement in connection with a staged attack. The case has echoes of the 2019 “hate crime” actor Jussie Smollett staged against himself, which became a fixation for MAGA.

Greene worked as a constituent services representative for Van Drew, who has represented New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District since 2019. According to the criminal complaint, on July 23, Greene and a female co-conspirator allegedly called 911 to report that Greene had been attacked by three men on a walking trail in the Egg Harbor Nature Reserve.

The co-conspirator has not been named by the U.S Attorney’s Office, but she told emergency service workers the attackers knew Greene’s name and referenced her job with Van Drew. “They were attacking her. They were like talking about politics and stuff. They were like calling her names,” she allegedly told the operator.

The rest of this is truly bizarre and sick - $500 to a "body modification artist" to slice her up, and she drives a Maserati (I guess you can get them used for a regular new car price).

It's like that "B Girl" on steroids - i.e., the case of that young woman who worked for the John McCain campaign, who cut a "B" on her own face, but did it using a mirror (which resulted in it naturally appearing backwards to an observer) - all to simulate an attack on her by Obama supporters during the 2008 election.

That's why I said in another thread on Democratic party NJ congressional election seat targets - Van Drew needs to go!

that would result from this alleged awful attack from "the left" on her and her friend.

Chase clout, grift, chase clout, grift. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Probably not for much longer. And just as well:

"...her friend had searched for “zip ties near me” two days before the supposed attack..."

Morons.

even though the stunt was exposed, she will forever have her identity on her stomach. She is, indeed, a "Trump whore"

I can think of A LOT of times that could/should have been useful, but I've never seen it. I don't think even Alex Jones got hit with that one.

A 26-year-old Ocean City woman who claimed she was brutally assaulted because she worked for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-Ocean City) instead orchestrated the entire incident — paying a scarification artist to wound her and staging the scene with zip ties and “Trump Whore” written on her stomach and “Van Drew is a racist” on her back, federal prosecutors alleged today.

Natalie Greene, a Rutgers law student, allegedly concocted the hoax in July, with an accomplice making a late-night 911 call to report that she had been ambushed by three men on a nature trail in Egg Harbor Township. Police officers found Greene bound with black zip ties, her shirt pulled over her head, and the political slurs scrawled across her torso. She told police that her supposed attackers had a gun and threatened to shoot her, and struck her in the head.

Prosecutors say nearly every detail was fabricated.

Greene allegedly drove to Pennsylvania and paid a body-modification artist $500 to carve the wounds on her face, neck, and upper body, using a pattern she had provided in advance. Investigators later found matching zip ties in her Maserati SUV. Cellphone records showed that two days before the purported attack, her co-conspirator searched online for “zip ties near me,” a discovery authorities cited as further proof that the incident was staged.
