Good for Marjorie Taylor Greene (but She’s Still a Loopy Racist)

In moving closer to them, Greene is also showing her frustration with the MAGA-controlled legislature. In her letter, she faults MAGA for disempowering Congress with the shutdown and the continued support for foreign wars, while her own right-wing domestic bills—which, to be clear, exist to smite social justice initiatives—sit “collecting dust.” Her paranoia, which has often served her well, clicked into high gear.

Recently on Breaking Point, Bill Maher asked Greene what she thinks of the fact that many in Trump’s inner circle, including Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller, are now living on military bases. In a striking reaction shot, Greene absorbed the news with visible fear: “I’m one of those people they call a conspiracy theorist. When I hear something like that, I think, ‘What do they know that I don’t know?’”

Read the resignation letter closely, and it’s clear Greene is simply done with all of the men she sees as barbarous aristocrats, from American oligarchs to foreign leaders. “Corporate and global interests remain Washington’s sweethearts [and] Americans’ hard earned tax dollars always fund foreign wars, foreign aid, and foreign interests,” she wrote. “No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman.”
