The Marjorie Taylor Greene New Deal
by David Catron
MTG was once mocked by the media but is now being portrayed as a principled political player.
Since Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) first arrived in Congress five years ago, she has been portrayed by the Washington press corps as a comic figure. They routinely mocked her for questioning mask mandates and accused her of spreading QAnon conspiracy theories. During recent weeks, after her falling out with President Trump over the fabled Epstein files, the oracles of the corporate “news” media have had an epiphany concerning Greene’s importance to the GOP. Following her announcement last Friday evening that she will resign from the House of Representatives effective January 5, they discovered that she is an important political figure whose departure spells doom for MAGA.
Why Jan. 5, 2026? … “That’s two days after she crosses the five-year threshold required to qualify for a lifetime congressional pension.”
The New York Times portentously opined, “Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden resignation underscored the fragility of the G.O.P. majority, and exposed deep discontent on the right going into the midterm elections.” Her announcement was delivered in an X post and was essentially a catalogue of grievances about the Republican Party. To support the claim that Greene’s resignation exposed “deep discontent” throughout the GOP, the Times went to malcontents like Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for quotes like this: “There’s more honesty expressed in these four pages than most politicians will speak in a lifetime.” The Washington Post also declared Greene’s departure as bad news for the GOP.
