Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces She Will Resign in January
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced she would resign from office in January, and she criticized both Republicans and Democrats, saying “nothing ever gets better” for ordinary Americans.
In a statement issued in an article on
“Americans are being used by the political-industrial complex of both political parties, election cycle after election cycle, to elect the side that can convince Americans to hate the other side more,” Green said. “And the results are always the same. No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the average American, male or female.”
“Today, many of my children’s generation feel hopeless about their future and think they will never achieve the American dream, which breaks my heart,” Greene added. “I ran for Congress in 2020 and fought every day believing that Make America Great Again meant America First.”
Greene went on to explain that she had “one of the most conservative voting records in Congress,” in which she defended the rights of the First and Second Amendments and the rights of the unborn, but criticized the Republican Party for its waning majority and the government shutdown, which lasted 43 days.
Greene’s statement continues in part:
During the longest shutdown in our country’s history, I have been furious with my own president and my own party for refusing to work proactively and diligently to pass a plan to save America’s health care system and protect Americans from outrageous, overpriced, and unaffordable health insurance policies. The House should have been in session every day to fix this disaster, but instead America was once again force-fed disgusting political drama on both sides of the aisle…
My bills, which mirror many of President Trump’s executive orders — like calling for a new census counting Americans only to draw new districts, making English the official language of the United States, making it a crime to medically trespass on a minor, and other bills like eliminating capital gains taxes on the sale of your primary residence and eliminating H1B visas — are just gathering dust. The same goes for most bills introduced by members of Congress: the President never puts them to a vote.
Many ordinary Americans are no longer easily convinced by paid political propaganda spokespeople and consultants on television and paid shills on social media who meekly serve with bigoted conviction to force others to swallow the political parties’ arguments.
The Georgia congresswoman added that she was “fortunate to represent Georgia’s 14th District for five years.”
“I fought harder than almost any other Republican elected official to elect Donald Trump and the Republicans to office, traveling the country for years,” Greene added, emphasizing that in recent years she “never changed or went back” on her campaign promises.
Greene’s announcement that she would resign comes as she and President Donald Trump are at odds. Trump posted a statement on Truth Social withdrawing his “support and endorsement” of Greene, calling her “crazy.” Trump also accused her of constantly complaining despite his administration having “closed borders, low taxes, no men in women’s sports or transgender for everyone,” among other accomplishments.
Trump’s announcement that he was withdrawing his support for Greene came as she split with Trump over his stance on Israel and called for the release of documents relating to deceased billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Greene added in her announcement that her “sole goal and desire has always been to hold the Republican Party accountable to the promises it makes to the American people and to put America first,” while adding that she has also fought against Democratic policies such as the Green New Deal and “dangerous border policies.”
“This resulted in years of relentless personal attacks, death threats, lawsuits, ridiculous smears and lies about me that most people could never stand up to for even a single day,” Greene continued, adding that she did not want her district to have to “endure a hurtful and hateful primary” against her by Trump.
