I read her statement. Still crazy as a shithouse rat and a true beliver of terrible and stupid things.
It didn’t really explain why she’s resigning. Just that the other kids won’t stop picking on her and the principal is really mean.
She is absolute scum and is only upset that the rabid MAGA base is treating her the way she asks them to treat opponents. She lasted only a few weeks of the treatment and caved because she’s a coward.

My understanding from reading past analysis of things she said is that it’s safe to say that she hasn’t actually believed everything she’s said, but saw it as politically-useful to take those positions.
Which I think is something of a sad statement about the voters in her congressional district (in northwestern Georgia, as I recall). But I don’t think that it’s necessarily that she personally is uniquely crazy.
EDIT: Yeah, Georgia’s 14th district, and it’s up in the northwest corner of Georgia. I was originally looking it up because I was commenting on the fact that Georgia has had some of the craziest Republican and Democratic House Representatives that have wound up getting national press time and I was curious how far apart their districts were.

It looks like her predecessor, Tom Graves, also resigned and left the seat vacant for some time, rather than just announcing that he wouldn’t run in the next election.
Whoa:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will resign from Congress in January, the Republican firebrand announced on Friday, following her high-profile public falling out with Donald Trump over the Epstein files.
“I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she wrote in a statement.
You can’t fire me, I quit.
She also said she thinks trump will be impeached and she didn’t want to fight for him
He might be (if he is, we’ll have had five impeachments in the history of the United States Presidency, and Trump will be three of them) but I seriously doubt that it will happen before the midterm elections, when the Democrats have a good chance of taking control of the House. She could have just announced that she wasn’t running in those.
Tap to send 1 Red MAGA to the discard pile
If one takes her justification at face value, it seems odd. Even if she wanted to avoid the primary, she could simply announce that she’s not running in the next election. She didn’t need to resign to do that.
Let’s hope one day we’ll find out the truth, because there’s definitely more going on here, and it feels dark.
In her resignation video she looks like she has a gun to her head. Maybe not literally in that moment, but in the general sense
Nope, but she might if the offer in the table with Trump was “resign now so we can have a special election and you don’t have a voice, or we’ll destroy you so hard that you’ll never even win an election for town cryer of Bumfuck, Arizona”
Or maybe whoever pressured MTG actually threatened physical damage like “you know Marge, you have seemed more and more erratic lately, even for a Jewish space laser weirdo. You better resign now so you don’t risk committing suicide”
Don’t let the door hit ya where the dog shoulda bit ya.
An anti trump Republican is probably better than what a special election would bring though.
She’s full of shit.
We’ve been waiting for this day, now that’s it’s upon us idk what to do or feel…
Uh… okay
