Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has declared her intention to resign from her congressional position in January. In her announcement, she criticized both major political parties, asserting that “nothing ever improves” for ordinary Americans.
In a statement issued in a post on X, Greene pointed out that no matter which political party is in power, the debt increases, “corporate and global interests remain Washington’s sweethearts,” and American jobs continue to get replaced, whether by illegal aliens or “legal labor by visas or just shipped overseas,” over other issues.
“The Political Industrial Complex manipulates Americans election after election, persuading them to choose sides, only to deliver the same outcomes,” Greene remarked. “Regardless of whether Republicans or Democrats are in power, the situation remains unchanged for everyday Americans.”
Greene expressed concern for the younger generation, saying, “Many young people today feel despair about their future and doubt they will ever achieve the American dream, which deeply saddens me.” She reflected on her initial motivation for running for Congress in 2020, driven by the belief in putting “America First” through the Make America Great Again movement.
Highlighting her commitment, Greene noted her reputation for having “one of the most conservative voting records in Congress,” consistently advocating for First and Second Amendment rights as well as the rights of the unborn. However, she criticized the Republican Party’s shrinking majority and the recent 43-day government shutdown.
Her statement further elaborated:
During the longest shutdown in our nation’s history, I raged against my own Speaker and my own party for refusing to proactively work diligently to pass a plan to save American health care and protect Americans from outrageous, overpriced, and unaffordable health insurance policies. The House should have been in session working every day to fix this disaster, but instead, America was force-fed disgusting political drama once again from both sides of the aisle …
My bills, which reflect 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 U.S., making it a felony to medically trans a minor, and other bills like eliminating capital gains taxes on the sale of your primary home, and eliminating H1B visas — just sit collecting dust. That’s how it is for most member of Congress’ bills: the Speaker never brings them to the floor for a vote.
Many common Americans are no longer easily convinced by paid political propaganda spokespersons and consultants on TV and paid shills on social media obediently serving with cult-like conviction to force others to swallow the political party talking points.
The Georgia congresswoman added that she was “blessed to represent the 14th district of Georgia for five years.”
“I’ve fought harder than almost any other elected Republican to elect Donald Trump and Republicans to power, traveling the country for years,” Greene added, pointing out that through everything over the past few years, she “never changed or went back” on her campaign promises.
Greene’s announcement that she would be resigning comes as she and President Donald Trump have been at odds. Trump issued a statement on Truth Social that he was withdrawing his “support and endorsement” of Greene, labeling her as “wacky.” Trump also accused her of complaining constantly 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 of Greene came as she had been separating herself from Trump regarding his stance on Israel, and had been calling for the release of documents relating to deceased convicted billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Greene added in her announcement that her “only goal and desire has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for the promises it makes to the American people and put America First,” while adding that she has also fought against Democrat policies such as the Green New Deal, and “unsafe border policies.”
“With that has brought years of nonstop never never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me, that most people could never withstand even for a day,” Greene continued, adding that she does not want her district to have to “endure a hurtful and hateful primary” against her by Trump.
