Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is doubling down on her plan to leave Congress, arguing that remaining in office isn’t worth the personal cost.
In a heated exchange on social media with conservative commentator Mike Cernovich, Greene suggested that nothing would satisfy her critics, asking whether they expected her to be “assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk.”
“Oh, I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen?” she wrote. “Will that be good enough for you then? Shit posting on the internet all day isn’t fighting. Get off YOUR ass and run for Congress. I fought harder than anyone in the real arena, not social media. Put down your little pebbles and put your money where your mouth is.”
Greene revealed her intention to resign last week after sharply criticizing President Donald Trump over their clash surrounding the release of the Epstein files.
“I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for six years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I’ve never owed him anything,” she said, adding that in the wake of Trump’s attacks she has been inundated with threats. “Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries.”
Her departure comes amid a broader wave of discontent inside the House Republican conference. According to Axios, a growing number of GOP lawmakers are weighing exits as internal divisions deepen and security concerns intensify.
The report noted that threats against members of Congress have risen significantly and that tensions have escalated further in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
“It takes a toll on people,” Rep. Tim Burchett said, explaining that threats have played a major role in colleagues’ decisions not to seek reelection. “We don’t ever seem to be doing anything,” he added, describing the atmosphere around Congress as increasingly discouraging.
