Former die-hard Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from the House of Representatives on Friday evening, saying neither party is focused on helping ordinary Americans.
Greene, a representative from Georgia, has recently been at odds with many of her MAGA compatriots over her support for the release of the Epstein files, among other issues. Last week, she found herself in a public scuffle with the president, who called her a “delusional lunatic” and a “traitor.”
In his resignation video and accompanying statement, MTG denounced the “political-industrial complex,” saying: “When the ordinary American people finally realize…that no elected leader like me is capable of stopping the Washington machine from gradually destroying our country, and that instead the reality is that they, the ordinary Americans, the people, possess real power over Washington, then I will be here alongside them to rebuild it.”

Greene also responded to Trump’s growing attacks against her, writing: “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich and powerful men, should not lead to me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, for whom I fought,” she wrote.
She later wrote: “This is all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”
Greene’s resignation came as a surprise to Republican leaders, according to Politico. Trump responded Saturday morning on Truth Social, calling her “Marjorie ‘traitor’ Brown.” (Trump has taken to calling her “Brown” instead of “Greene,” because, according to his logic, green turns brown when it rots) while thanking her for her service.
According to MTG’s statement, due to political drama, she was unable to pass her bills, which reportedly included legislation to make English the official language of the United States, eliminate H1-B visas, and legislation “making it a crime to be medically trans with a minor.”
Although her resignation letter gives no indication of where she will go next, just that she “looks[s] looking forward to a new path forward” – rumors have swirled recently that she may be considering a presidential run. Greene denied the reports.
Either way, we hope she doesn’t get hit by the door on her way out.
