Trump Ally Marjorie Taylor Greene Exits House Amid Epstein Fallout and Fierce Disagreements
Greene said she was “standing up” for women who were “raped at 14” and “trafficked” by “rich powerful men.”
In a surprise move, US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation from the House of Representatives, effective January 5, 2026. The decision comes amidst a public feud with former ally President Donald Trump, particularly over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Greene, once a vocal supporter of Trump's 'Make America Great Again' agenda, has become a critic of the former President.
Greene claimed she was 'called a traitor' for standing up for women who were allegedly 'raped and trafficked' by powerful men. Trump, in turn, had labeled Greene 'a wacky person' and vowed to endorse a challenger against her in the next election.
In a video, Greene expressed her frustration, stating that 'loyalty should be a two-way street.' She also emphasized the importance of being able to vote one's conscience and represent district interests. The resignation marks a significant development in the ongoing power struggle within the Republican Party, where multiple moderate establishment Republicans have parted ways with Trump, according to the Associated Press.
