U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, in announcing her January 2026 resignation Friday, has cast herself as a martyr in Trumpworld.
We’re not buying it.
An honest broker who wants to separate herself from President Donald Trump, who wants to keep her conservative bona fides but says she wants to carve out better legislation for the average Joe, doesn’t turn and run but stays in the fight and convinces her colleagues of the better way.
It’s how Republicans became the majority party in the country. It’s how the rate of violent crime has dropped since the early 1990s. It’s how the rate of abortions dropped significantly before Roe v. Wade was overturned and control returned to the states.
Greene, in her resignation letter, claimed she had “too much self respect and dignity,” loved her family too much, and did not want her “sweet district” to endure a primary fight against “by the president we all fought for.”
