One of the most vocal representatives of the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement is leaving the American Congress. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former Donald Trump ally and radical right-wing figure, announced on Friday, November 21, that she was resigning from her seat in the House of Representatives, after openly criticizing the American president’s handling of the Epstein affair.
“I will resign from my position on January 5, 2026”Georgia’s elected representative said in a press release on social networks “Defending American women who were raped at the age of 14, trafficked and exploited by rich and powerful men should not result in me being labeled a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.”.
In a video posted online, he also said, among other things, that he had experienced it “always looked down upon in Washington and never integrated”.
“Marjorie the Traitor”
Marjorie Taylor Greene emerged on the political scene as a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, but her criticism of White House officials and Republicans has increased in recent weeks, prompting the US president to withdraw her support in early November. Donald Trump publicly broke with his longtime ally and figure in the MAGA movement, by calling him out “Marjorie “The Traitor” Greene” And “Maggie “The Crazy””after comments from elected officials about his handling of the Epstein affair, named after the New York financier who died in prison in 2019 before being tried for sex crimes.
The position of Donald Trump, a frequent financier, on the issue has sowed divisions in the usually staunch Republican Party. After a long period of opposition, Donald Trump announced a law forcing his government to make public all documents related to the Epstein case. However, the extent of the expected disclosure remains unclear.
The American president has always denied knowing about the criminal behavior of men close to him before their falling out in the 2000s, and has claimed that their arguments took place years before the crimes came to light.
