House Republican Predicts More Resignations Are Coming After MTG Quits
PJ Media ^ | Bryan S. Jung

A senior House Republican predicts that more "explosive early resignations are coming" after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) surprise announcement that she would leave Congress in January.

Several GOP House members privately told Punchbowl News that they were also considering retiring before their terms end, after Greene's Nov. 21 announcement.

It’s unknown which Republicans are currently pondering resignation, but a feeling that legislators' needs are being neglected by party leadership and an inability to pass legislation has led some to consider quitting, as they expect the GOP to lose its already slim majority in Congress.

The anonymous GOP lawmaker said that morale amongst the Republican caucus in the House has "never been lower" and called the present situation a "tinder box."

He also predicted that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) could lose his leadership position before the end of the term due to growing internal tensions in the ranks and said that many blame him and the White House personally.

“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen," the House Republican told Punchbowl News. "That is the sentiment of nearly all — appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened."

"They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms," continued the legislator.

“More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel ...

Just to take down Trump with impeachment.

That is about as effective as Boris Badenov taking out Bullwinkle J. Moose with a bomb.

Paleocon trolls are a menace

The term Paleocon is normally associated with the Pat Buchanan wing of Republicanism. That wing is solidly pro-Trump.

Mark Steyn frequently points out that when Democrats are in charge they wield power, but when Republicans are in charge they “hold office”.

MTG currently ranks third on a list of 2028 GOP presidential contenders with a clear ‘outsider’ lane to run in...GOPers dismiss her at their own peril.

Rep Tim Burchett explained that the source of the breakdown between MTG and Trump was ultimately Israel. My guess is that there are other congress critters who also have qualms about who they are actually required to serve while in congress.

It sucks that MAGA is going to be destroyed by this but I guess it was bound to happen. Many people were predicting that it would happen back during the campaign when they saw who Trump was taking money from and who he was surrounding himself with. Matthew 6:24

I guess we can always go back to the Bush, McCain, Romney type globalists. They always understood who actually controlled America and never gave the patriots enough false hope that they elected other patriots into congress.

I wish Trump would have stuck with his...

"false song of globalism"
"America First"
"no new wars"
"drain the swamp"

...message from 2016. That is why we all loved him.

On that point, I agree with Steyn and in this case MTG. Executive orders won't last, Congress needed to PASS LAWS.

Moles and Rinos hate it when exposed and no place to go.

“why would people who just got elected one year ago want to give the House to Dems?”

They probably won’t go until they’re eligible for their pensions — as MTG did.

MTG is a fighter. We have to give her that.

Fighters stay and fight. She opted to take her ball and go home. That's not what a fighter does. Sounds more like a loser.

it will be non stop impeachments.

Even if Donks win the house, it'll only be a distraction because Rs won't lose the senate.

If you were a couple of weeks away from a pension, would you walk and forfeit it, after 5 years of service.

No one would.

That’s not my bitch with MTG.

“His ego is.”

And you are stupid enough to take up democrat talking points.

“Trump should not be attacking Republicans in public.”

Republicans should not be attacking Trump in public. Did you ever see democrats attack Biden in public? No, you did not.
