Marjorie Taylor Greene to Quit Congress After Break with Trump over Gaza, Healthcare and Epstein
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Georgia Congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene is predicting other
Republican lawmakers could soon resign from Congress, after she stunned
Washington, D.C., on Friday by announcing she'll step away from the
House of Representatives in January. Her surprise resignation will leave
Republicans with a slim majority; they currently hold 219 seats compared
to Democrats' 213. Marjorie Taylor Greene spent years as a leader of the
MAGA movement but had an acrimonious split with President Trump after
she condemned Israel's assault on Gaza as a "genocide," called on
Congress to address the spiraling cost of healthcare, and cast a
deciding vote on a discharge petition calling for the release of the
Epstein files. That led Trump to withdraw his endorsement while accusing
her of being a "traitor." This is an excerpt of Marjorie Taylor Greene's
resignation speech.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I refuse to be a battered wife, hoping it
all goes away and gets better. If I am cast aside by the president and
the MAGA political machine and replaced by neocons, Big Pharma, Big
Tech, military-industrial-war complex, foreign leaders and the elite
donor class, that can never, ever relate to real Americans, then many
common Americans have been cast aside and replaced, as well."

On Sunday, Marjorie Taylor Greene denied a report from Time magazine
that she "privately told allies" she was considering a presidential bid,
rejecting the report as a "complete lie."
