Marjorie Taylor Greene To Resign In January – Does This Mean She’s Joining The Resistance?

MTG claims to be putting down the knives in politics, but the path to her ascent remains littered with abuses toward the LGBTQ+ community.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, an ardent Donald J. Trump devotee, announced her upcoming resignation from the House on Nov. 21. Faced with the prospect of a “hateful primary against me by the president” and the “likely” Republican loss of the midterms, in a 10-minute video posted on X, the Republican Congresswoman of Georgia’s 14th district gave multiple reasons for her escape.

She raged against her party “for refusing to proactively work diligently to pass a plan to save American healthcare and protect Americans from outrageous overpriced and unaffordable health insurance policies.” She said she stood solidly with the GOP and Trump, but strayed in a few areas, like tying states’ hands from reigning in Al, 50-year mortgage scams, and involvement in foreign wars (she was the first congressional Republican to call Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide”).

Notably, MTG has demanded release of the Epstein files.

While we can’t predict if she’ll leave her MAGA hat at the door when she vacates office on January 5, 2026, speculation is rampant: she might be breaking from the coalition, now fractured in the heat of the scandal around (still-to-be-named) abusers of underaged victims. A future presidential bid can’t be ruled out.

“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 donor elite class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.”

Is Marjorie Taylor Greene now one of us, the common American? Is she joining “The Resistance”?

Trump may be currently labeling her Marjorie “Traitor” Greene, but she’s forged her own political career by name-calling – mostly targeting the LGBTQ+ community with a specific penchant for trolling trans people.

• MTG called Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first out trans member of Congress, a “child predator” and “groomer” on X because McBride read a book about a trans girl, to children.

• In February, 2021, MTG had a meltdown over the proposed Equality Act, which would have prohibited discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity nationally. In a speech on the House floor, she predicted the destruction of life as we know it, should it pass. “God created us male and female,” she said. “In his image, he created us. The Equality Act that we are to vote on this week destroys God’s creation… ”

• MTG topped off her Equality Act doomsday predictions with a personal touch, posting hateful messaging outside her office, directly across the hall from Illinois Rep. Marie Newman, whose daughter is trans.

• Her path to the top is littered with a trail of misgendering. In addition to McBride, she’s lashed out at Caitlyn Jenner and others. She’s warns: “drag queens and transsexuals parade around the halls of supposedly conservative political action conferences” and “gay men with cross dressing fetishes have hosted drag queen story hour for impressionable young children at our local libraries… “

MTG believes that an obsession with cross-dressing is the hallmark of a civilization in rapid decline; and within several generations, “no one will be straight anymore.” Also, she’s fed up with Pete Buttigieg’s “designer babies,” e-vehicles, bicycles and PS: “he and his husband can stay out of our girl’s bathrooms.”

Since becoming aware that Trump’s rhetoric could put in her harm’s way, Greene has projected a softer aura. She’s not exactly knitting a pink “pussy grabs back” hat, circa, Women’s March, January 2017. But eight days ago, she shared with CNN that her own rhetoric has resulted in threats to others.

“I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country… ” she told Dana Bash. “I’m only responsible for myself and my own words and actions… and I’ve been working on this a lot lately, to put down the knives in politics,” she said. “I really want to just see people be kind to one another.”

To date, Marjorie Taylor Greene has not apologized to Rep. Sarah McBride, Rep. Marie Newman or Newman’s daughter, Evie. Kudos for refusing to be a ‘battered wife,’ and for standing with the victims of Epstein. But she could take a lesson from Newman whose daughter’s experience “really helped me understand what someone feels like when they’re being discriminated against. And it’s horrible. Or when they’re not allowed to be their authentic self,” as Newman said once in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times.

“What I always say is that, you know, it’s beyond just walking in their shoes. It’s really sitting down and thinking about what we can do better as allies to whatever community needs our help.”
