Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) is leaving Congress.
The outspoken Republican, who has been at odds with her party and President Donald Trump in recent weeks, made the announcement on Friday night, expressing her frustration with the national debt and the recent government shutdown.
"I ran for Congress in 2020 and have fought every single day believing that Make America Great Again meant America First," she wrote in a letter she made public Friday evening. "I have one of the most conservative voting records in Congress defending the 1st amendment, 2nd amendment, unborn babies because I believe God creates life at conception, strong safe borders, I've fought against Covid tyrannical insanity and mandated mass vaccinations, and I've never voted to fund foreign wars."
"However with almost one year into our majority, the legislature has been mostly sidelined," she continued. "We endured an 8 week shut down wrongly resulting in the House not working for the entire time, and we are entering campaign season which means all courage leaves and only safe campaign re-election mode is turned on."
Greene has made the government shutdown and Affordable Care Act subsidies a major part of her public platform in recent weeks, railing against Republican leadership for the shutdown and for keeping the House out of session for two months.
However, according to insiders, the president sent Greene polling that indicates she can't win, strongly suggesting she shouldn't run. That, in turn, appears to have increased her already tense relationship with other Republican leaders like Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-4). In her letter, she blasted "Establishment Republicans" and accused Trump of organizing a primary against her.
"I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms," she wrote. "And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me. It's all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a 'battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better."
"If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc. and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can't even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well," she added. "There is no 'plan to save the world' or insane 4D chess game being played."
Greene's last day in Congress will be January 5, 2026, she says. The House Republican majority will shrink to 218.
Here is a good spot for the Well, Bye meme.
Then stand back a bit.
Sorry to see her go.
At one time, I would have as well. However, she has shown that her self-interest matters most.
imagine doing all this over a conspiracy story...something that doesnt even exist and never happened. Shes an idiot.
She saved him the trouble.
I sometimes appreciated her willingness to be the skunk at the picnic, but overall, we didn’t need the aggravation.
Say bye!
One less drama queen that can easily be replaced.
House members are a dime a dozen, which is why I rarely pay attention to them.
Have not seen ‘boyfriend ‘ on RAV in a bit. They are outta here!!!
Lol, (my weird mind).
Her video mentions she spent millions of her own money while being representative. Guess she wasn’t the average American prior to election?
What you wanna bet she now ends up on a cable news show?
Wow! I saw a video about this on BitChute a while ago, and didn’t believe it.
I guess it is just as well that she quits before she gets even wackier.
I wonder what she will do now? Get a job on CNN, MSNOW or take over from one of the bovines on “The View”? and slam Trump from there?
Maybe form a new team with Liz Cheney?
humm. i take it as her opus to the GOPe wing of the uniparty. probably the most consequential act she’s taken in Congress. i hope it wakes a few republicans up. the uniparty needs to die.
I think Conservatives can forgive a lot of things when it comes to disagreements with the GOP bosses and/or taking a stand on annunciated conservative principles.
But we do not forgive running to the enemy and using their shows to trash Trump or others. We especially don’t like it because it is obvious that places like the View aren’t hosting MTG to help her get her message out. They are doing so because they are more than happy to have a useful idiot on their show.
The legacy media is the worst enemy we have. Joining them is no bueno.
And she becomes a TV pundit in 3-2-1
I would assume she would go back to her construction company. Perhaps she sold it.
Sure, anybody who criticizes Trump on anythign is only out for themselves. Sure, OK.
She increased her net worth by something like $15 million during her time in Congress. That is impossible to do honestly.

MTG- 2021-2026
One does have its portrait up in the White House, so there’s that to help describe MTG’s DC Swamp run.
Ms. Smith leaves Washington.
