Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district is in disbelief at her resignation announcement
CNN ^ | Nov 24, 2025 | Jeff Zeleny, Eric Bradner

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation announcement sent a shock through her northwest Georgia district...

“It took me watching her resignation video for about 5 minutes to realize that it was not an AI-generated video — that’s how shocking it was for me,” said Ricky Hess, chairman of the Paulding County Republican Party...

The ruby-red slice of Georgia spans a dozen counties, where a strong majority of voters were loyal both to Trump and Greene...

“We wanted Marjorie to be Marjorie. We appreciate her,” said David Guldenschuh, a local Republican stalwart and lawyer who hosts a political radio show on WLAQ-AM in Rome. “She doesn’t blend into the curtains like other people do up in Washington.”

Guldenschuh, who also serves as the first vice chairman of the Floyd County Republican Party, said the recent feud between Trump and Greene caused a period of awkward uneasiness...he believed the two could have worked through their tension and found common ground.

“If one were to say, ‘What has Marjorie Taylor Greene done for her entire district? What has she done?’” said Virginia McChesney, a retired schoolteacher. “We can’t name a thing.”

“She was focused on things that she thought would get her ahead and when that suddenly stopped, that was the end of that conversation,” McChesney added...

That sentiment was not shared by others, including Greg Garrett and Scott Preston.

“Obviously, I wouldn’t have called her a traitor, but that’s Trump,” Garrett said. “You know he hits back if you hit him.”

Radford Bunker, a public defender, said he was saddened by her decision.

“I think that she’s a thoughtful person,” said Bunker, who described himself as a conservative. “I’m just sorry that politics has come to the sort of tribalism where you have to agree with everything on everybody.”

The shickenchit Republicans are all jumping ship. The murderous DemocRATic Party of Death have them all scared to death. Fools like that crazy, wacked out Señator Bobby “The Pistol” Garcia wants to start having gunfights in Congress between the Mehicans and the Gringos. That boy definitely has the Norman Bates look. A crazy Peruvian with lots of issues thrown out of his home country.

This is not a good situation. We could lose the House next year and that would be a disaster.

Not really.

The “rah rah” Republican crowd will freak out, but the executive branch agencies won’t be in democrat control unless they win the 2028 Presidential Election.

If 40 or 50 House Republicans resign before the 2026 midterms, you’ll know the deep state has “got to them.”

Then “The Fix is In.”

She doesn’t care how her voters feel. It’s all about her.

She may have resigned because her personal life was kind of hard to cover up.

“We could lose the House next year and that would be a disaster.”

Obviously, that is of no concern for MTG. This is all about her. When she realized that personally she wasn’t moving up the ladder quickly enough she took a hike.
