MAGA spearhead quits U.S. congress

Trump withdraws his support for congresswoman critical of Israel

- by TYLER DURDEN

ONE week after President Trump withdrew his 'support and endorsement' of Marjorie Taylor Greene, the establishment-bucking Georgia congresswoman stunned supporters and foes alike by announcing she will resign from Congress.

The move also comes shortly after Greene helped push Trump into a major political reversal that saw him suddenly encouraging Congress to pass legislation requiring the release of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files.

In a video shot in her Georgia living room and posted to X, Greene said her last day in office will be January 5, and lamented that “no matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman”.

As examples, she cited the 'ongoing replacement of American jobs with foreign labour'; the use of tax dollars to “fund foreign wars, foreign aid, and foreign interests”; mounting debt; and the erosion of the dollar.

She also complained that various bills she introduced to advance the MAGA agenda 'just sit collecting dust' as House leadership ignores them.

Elsewhere in her ten-minute announcement, Greene said: “Loyalty should be a two-way street and we should be able to vote with our conscience and represent our district's interest.
