Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., announced on Friday that she is resigning from her seat, following weeks of clashing with Donald Trump.
“If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,” Greene said in a statement posted to social media.
LOL I think this is MTG playing the game like Trump - this is a tantrum, a threat, like a girlfriend who threatens to break up with you. It gets your attention - that is the true objective of this. She ain’t done with politics. She’s making a move here.
Are there still mods here? There like 4 or 5 these posts posts today alone.
Doing a Sarah Palin?
There’s more to this story. There is some information we don’t know about yet.
Or she’s going to try to run for Senate and wants to lie low for a bit to cool down emotions
She’s definitely angling for something bigger, maybe president.
maybe president.
jesus h that would be a bad timeline
Empress of the World would be my guess.
“I have information that will lead to the resignation of Majorie Taylor Greene”
Yeah this makes little to no sense right now. Whatever we do t know is much more than whatever we do know.
When you suddenly realize how disposable you are to the cult if you dispute the word of their deity…
I’m sure it’s to go make more money being awful elsewhere.
You thinking Fox or our America news?
I was thinking consultant for some shit corporation that she helped give tax breaks to while in office.
The suddenness, her “excuse” about not being liked, and feuding with Trump?
I dunno. I smell one of two scenarios:
- She was in it for the grift and can’t go any further for the work it takes.
- Her life is being threatened.
Edit: if someone was in her position and TRULY cared about the American people, she would fight for them and against Trump’s team. That’s why I think choice 2 is what is really happening.
It’s number 1.
She’s ridden the ride long enough to do speaking engagements and political commentary for as long as she can remain entertaining. Also book deals, but that depends if she can scare up a ghostwriter who’s willing to attach their name to her.
#2 is obviously the case, we knew several days ago when Trump’s comments about her resulted in a drastic increase in threats.

She could be running for president, or getting a job as a pundit somewhere.
it could be both, really.
That she’s in it for the grift AND is being threatened.
Por que no los dos
I have the impression she either realized or was told/shown how the Trump admin plans to stay in power forever, plus all the economic lies, and this disheartened her to a great extent.
On top of that the pushback from trump, and most likely her receiving covert threats to stay out of the way, is what also made her come to this decision.
I am curious if her stepping down will stick in the long run.
One thing I know by now, no one in power in the House or Senate (or SCOTUS, etc) ever willingly relinquishes that power, only leaves by death or threat of death – there are very very few cases for other reasons and those only by people who have the ability to overcome their ego and see it as the right thing to do, which is not the case here.
A lot of the old-school repubs who were driven out when MAGA took over the GOP, pretended like they chose to not run again for various reasons, but some of them later revealed they feared for their lives. This regime doesn’t fuck around, cross the Don(ald) and you’re out, try to defy that order and you’re told what will happen to you and/or your family if you do.
If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans,
Wait til she realizes MAGA was always a grift by elites to get votes and support and they never cared for the “Real Americans™.”
This is because DEMOCRATS are so VIOLENT!
A bit of a performative flounce this. If resigning, resign. Instead she gets to play the martyr role just in time for the religious season.
From elsewhere, I’ve heard she’ll be fully vested in congressional retirement at the exact date she’s resigning.
2 days before her resignation date she becomes eligible.
Yeah, this smells
just when she was becoming a stone in Trump’s shoes, now she’ll be replaced with a loyalist
Makes me wonder if the trump reich had saved up some dirt on her prior to the public spat. Get out or we’re using this kind of thing.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Hits Out at Net Worth Claims: ‘Go to Hell’
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, pushed back on Sunday against a report that said her personal wealth has skyrocketed since she entered Congress, calling the claims “outright slander and lies.”
In an X post, the congresswoman owed her wealth to her family’s construction business and private investment, and said her net worth today, valued at $22.51 million per public records, has nothing to do with her government role since 2021, which comes with a salary of $174,000.
She was responding to an article by financial news outlet Benzinga published on June 8, titled: “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Net Worth Jumped $21 Million Since Joining Congress—Top 6 Stocks She Was Buying Amid Tariff Chaos.”
Maybe she’s in the Epstein files, needs to be redacted.
Trump called her big donors and told them to cut her off. They told her she was out. She resigned rather than lose.
Wtf it’s Friday can’t we get a night off?
I feel like this is more a subset of the party is asking for her to back out so people will forget hating her as they plan on trying to pass her as Diet Trump, to republican voters as a backup plan in 2029.
