    I earnestly think she was seriously threatened. She was angling to take over the Republican party after Trump dies; a strategy more informed by the time she spent with Kevin McCarthy. However, Trump isn’t just a president or party leader anymore, but a dictator who says opponents should be put to death and is ok with the label of fascism. He’s always punished disloyalty, but now he can use any tactic without fear of reprisal.

    But but MSM was super in love with her for talking about how broken Congress is and how they are all bought off by lobbying.

    From the AP:

    Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she’s “always been despised in Washington, D.C., and just never fit in.”

    That’s because you’re a complete shithead.

    In her video Friday, she underscored her longtime loyalty to Trump except on a few issues, and said it was “unfair and wrong” that he attacked her for disagreeing.

    “Loyalty should be a two-way street and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district’s interest, because our job title is literally ‘representative,’” she said.

    Lol. Trump loyal? That’s hilarious.

      Unfortunately she gave the GOP time to search for a sycophant candidate they can shovel in there.

        They won’t find someone so earnest. So, they might have less success. The sycophant won’t be as high profile and therefornpesa powerful.
