Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from office, an unexpected turn for the high-profile Republican. One of Donald Trump's Maga superstars and staunchest defenders, the Georgia congresswoman's relentless calls for releasing files related to late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and recent criticism of some of his policies led to a bitter public feud.
After the US president labelled her a "traitor", she said in a video announcing her departure: "I refuse to be a 'battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better."
Trump, who had threatened to support a Republican challenger to unseat Greene, called her resignation "great news for the country" in an interview with ABC News.
While this move surprised political pundits everywhere, it was certainly contrived and tactical. First, MTG picked a date that comes two after her Congressional pension kicks in. Secondly, by resigning one year into a two-year term, she leaves the GOP and Mike Johnson with an even thinner hold on the House of Representatives. third, whether it's as a :conservative pundit" on MSNBC, CNN or even "The View", unless she still against the odds and runs for a Senate or Governor's seat, even with her resignation MTG ain't leaving the spotlight anytime soon. Lastly, after years of calling MTG every nasty name in the book, imagine being a liberal today looking for MTG to be the face of the anti-Trump resistance after her and Trump parted ways, being sad and so disappointed that MTG is leaving Congress--shwos you once again that liberals will embrace just about anyone who opposes Trump, even people they once viewed as their mortal enemy.
