Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent announcement revealing her upcoming departure from Congress has sent shockwaves through the political sphere, triggering reactions from the Left and the Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greene said Friday she will leave Congress in January, citing her falling-out with President Trump. Earlier this month, the president\u00a0withdrew his endorsement\u00a0of Greene amid a disagreement over the\u00a0Jeffrey Epstein\u00a0files.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Sunday she was surprised by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announcing her resignation over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHonestly, I was like, \u2018You\u2019ve got to be kidding me,\u2019\u201d Crockett told host<\/a> Jake Tapper on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re on the other side of the president for one week, and you can\u2019t take the heat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Sunday, the Texas Democrat accused Greene of being an \u201cinstigator\u201d of hateful rhetoric during her time in Congress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s just interesting that I don\u2019t know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people,\u201d Crockett added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last Sunday, Greene acknowledged<\/a> that she has taken part in the \u201ctoxic politics\u201d that have \u201cplagued\u201d the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am committed, I\u2019ve been working on this a lot lately, to put down the knives in politics. I really just want to see people be kind to one another,\u201d she told host<\/a> Dana Bash <\/a>on \u201cState of the Union.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his Truth Social post<\/a> revoking his endorsement of the Georgia congresswoman, Trump said the rift began when he showed Greene polling data indicating she would have low support if she were to challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff (Ga.) or run to succeed Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in the Peach State in 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last Sunday, Greene denied on CNN<\/a> that such a conversation with the president took place, saying her decision not to run for higher office next year was hers alone<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
