Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a reliable MAGA firebrand who morphed into one of the House GOP’s loudest anti-Israel voices, has announced she will resign from Congress.

Greene disclosed her resignation on Friday in a ten-minute video recorded from her living room, speaking with a Christmas tree behind her and a cross around her neck.

She said she did not want her northwest Georgia district “to endure a hurtful and hateful primary” after Trump vowed to support a challenger and labeled her a “traitor.”

“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,’” Greene said.

Announcing her last day as January 5, 2026, she went on to accuse GOP leadership of sidelining her since Trump returned to the White House for a second term and complained that her bills have been “collecting dust.”

Greene entered Congress in 2021 after promoting a series of fringe conspiracy theories about 9/11, mass shootings, and government plots.

She lost her committee assignments early in her first term in bipartisan votes, but regained influence after aligning herself with then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy and serving as a key messenger for Trump during his years out of office.

After years of identifying with the pro-Israel wing of the Republican Party, Greene reversed course after the October 7 Hamas massacre and became one of the most vocal critics of the Jewish State in the GOP conference.

She has accused Israel of “genocide” in Gaza, repeatedly pushed amendments to cut all U.S. assistance, and blamed “foreign interests” for influencing Washington.

She has also gone off the deep end in antisemitic conspiracy theories, including claims about “Jewish space lasers,” QAnon ties, and comparisons between pandemic-era safety measures and the Holocaust.

After her resignation announcement, Trump took to Truth Social to unleash a blistering attack, mocking her as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown,” claiming she quit to avoid a humiliating primary defeat, and blasting her “plummeting poll numbers.”

The RJC responded with a gif of Trump waving, captioned “And we say bye bye,” while Rep. Randy Fine of Florida wrote on X, “One antisemite down. One to go.”
