Representative marjorie taylor greenGeorgia Republicans announced this on Friday She was resigning from Congress Within a few months, she told Americans, “I refuse to be a ‘battered wife,’ hoping that it will all go away and get better.”
Green, a once loyal ally donald trump, had fallen out in public The president clashed in recent weeks over his criticisms about health care and affordability. Most notably, she was one of the few House Republicans at the beginning Call for release of government files relating to a late convicted sex offender Jeffrey EpsteinAn unpopular position in the GOP, before others joined the effort. Including Trump himself,
Read Green’s full statement announcing her resignation here:
“I have always represented the ordinary American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives, which is why I have always been despised in Washington DC and have never been able to fit in.
Americans are used by the political industrial complex of both political parties, election cycle after election cycle, so that whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more can be elected.
And the results are always the same.
It doesn’t matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing gets better for the common American man or woman.
The debt increases.
Corporate and global interests remain Washington’s darlings.
American jobs are constantly being replaced, whether by illegal labor, legal labor through visas, or simply being shipped abroad.
Small businesses continue to be swallowed up by large corporations.
Americans’ hard-earned tax money always funds foreign wars, foreign aid, and foreign interests.
The spending power of the dollar continues to decline.
The average American family can no longer survive on the income of a single breadwinner because both parents must work to survive.
And today, many of my children’s generation feel hopeless about their future and don’t think they’ll ever be able to achieve the American dream, which breaks my heart.
I ran for Congress in 2020 and fought every day believing that Make America Great Again means America First. I have one of the most conservative voting records in Congress defending the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, unborn babies because I believe God creates life at the moment of conception, create strong secure borders, I have fought against COVID tyrannical insanity and mandatory mass vaccination, and I have never voted to fund foreign wars.
However, with almost a year into our majority, the legislature has been mostly sidelined, we unfairly endured an 8-week shutdown that resulted in the House not being able to function full time, and we are entering campaign season, which means all courage has been abandoned and the only safe campaign is re-election mode.
During the longest shutdown in our country’s history, I vented anger at my own president and my own party for refusing to actively work to pass a plan to save American health care and protect Americans from excessively expensive and ineffective health insurance policies. The House should have been working in session every day to fix this disaster, but instead America is forced to once again play disgusting political drama from both sides of the aisle.
My bills that mirror many of President Trump’s executive orders, such as calling for a new census to count Americans only to add new districts, making English the official language of the US, making medically transferring a minor a felony, and other bills like eliminating the capital gains tax on the sale of your home and eliminating the H1-B visa are simply gathering dust. As is the case with most members of Congress’s bills, the Speaker never brings them to the House floor for a vote.
Many ordinary Americans are no longer easily convinced by paid political campaign spokespeople and consultants on TV and paid shills on social media who obediently force others to swallow political party talk with cult-like commitment.
Because they know how much credit card debt they have, they know how much their own bills have gone up over the last 5 years, they actually do their own grocery shopping and know that food costs too much, their rent has increased exponentially, corporate asset managers outbid them several times when they made an offer to buy a house, they were fired from their jobs after being forced to train their visa holding replacements, they had to earn college degrees. It put them in debt without big six-figure salaries, they see more homeless people than ever before. They have their own community streets, they can’t buy health insurance or practically any insurance, and they’re not stupid.
These are the people I represent and love because these are my family and friends, ordinary Americans.
I have had the privilege of representing Georgia’s 14th District for 5 years, which is filled with the most amazing, kind-hearted, God-fearing, patriotic, hard-working people you will ever meet. Nice regular ordinary Americans.
I have worked hard to bring taxpayer dollars back home to meet the needs of the District, I impeached Biden’s Homeland Secretary after watching my voters die as he facilitated a dangerous open border invasion of America, and as Chair of the DOGE Subcommittee led the effort to defund politically biased NPR, PBS, and corrupt USAID.
I have fought harder than almost any other elected Republican to bring Donald Trump and the Republicans to power, traveled the country for years, spent millions of my own money, lost precious time with my family that I can never get back, and appeared against a furious leftist mob outside the New York Courthouse in Collect Pond Park as Trump faced the Democrat legislation. Meanwhile most of the establishment Republicans, who secretly hated him and who stabbed him in the back and never defended him against anything, have welcomed him all the way after the election.
And I’ll never forget the day I had to leave my mother’s side as my father had brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumor so I could go to Washington DC to defend President Trump and not vote against the Democrats’ second impeachment in 2021. My poor father and my poor mother, it was too much.
Throughout all this, I never changed or backed down from my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas, such as my stance against H1-Bs replacing American jobs, the Al state moratorium, the lifetime loan 50-year mortgage scam, standing firmly against all involvement in foreign wars, and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Additionally, my voting record has been solid with my party and the President.
Loyalty should be a two-way street and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent the interest of our district because our job title is literally “representative.”
America First must mean America First and only America First, no other foreign country will ever be associated with America First in the halls of our government.
Standing up for American women who were raped at the age of 14, trafficked, and used by rich powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States I fought for.
However, even though yes painful, my heart remains full of joy, my life is filled with happiness, and my true commitment remains unchanged because my self-worth is not defined by a man, but by God who created everything in existence.
You see, despite all the misconceptions about me, I have never given importance to power, titles or attention. I don’t cling to those things because they are meaningless and empty traps that ensnare too many people in Washington. I believe in term limits and don’t think Congress should be a lifelong career or assisted living facility.
My sole goal and desire is to hold the Republican Party accountable for the promises it made to the American people and put America First, and I have fought against the Democrats’ harmful policies like the Green New Deal, wide-open deadly unsafe border policies, and trans agenda against children and women.
This has been accompanied by years of never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawlessness, ridiculous slander and lies about me, which most people cannot tolerate even for a day.
This is unfair and wrong not only for me and especially my family, but also for my district.
I have very high self-respect and dignity, I love my family very much, and do not want my beloved district to suffer a tragic and disgusting primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to run for and win his election while the Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in return, I am expected to defend the President against impeachment because he disgustingly spent millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.
This is all very absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ and hope that this will all go away and get better.
If I have been sidelined by MAGA Inc. and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, the Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and an elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many ordinary Americans have also been sidelined and replaced.
There is no ‘plan to save the world’ or crazy 4D chess game being played here.
When the ordinary American people finally realize and understand that the political industrial complex of both parties is tearing this country apart, that no elected leader like me is capable of stopping the Washington machine from slowly destroying our country, and instead the reality is that they, ordinary Americans, the people, hold the real power over Washington, then I will be with them to build it back up.
Until then, I’m going back to the people I love, so I can live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path forward.
I will resign from my post and my last day is January 5, 2026.
