Following a series of high profile conflicts with Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that she will resign from Congress in January,
The exit of a bat-sh%$ insane politician from the public sphere, and the fact that this shaves down the already razor-thin Republican majority in the House.
Win-win.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s abrupt announcement on Friday that she planned to resign, blindsiding the House speaker and shocking Washington, will put a dent in Republicans’ already fragile majority, leaving them with a vacant seat at least into the spring.
But beyond the short-term practical impact, the sudden exit of Ms. Greene, the Georgia Republican who for years was one of the loudest MAGA voices in politics, has highlighted a deep well of discontent among far-right lawmakers at the core of President Trump’s coalition.
That dynamic could make it more difficult for Speaker Mike Johnson to corral his small and unruly conference, and threatens to divide the party going into crucial midterm elections in which the G.O.P. majority is at stake.
“Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district’s interest because our job title is literally, ‘Representative,’” Ms. Greene wrote in a lengthy social media post on Friday.
I think that this is a f%$# you from Greene to Trump.
I cannot object to that.
