An anonymous House Republican tells Axios that, while he’s not likely to resign in the near term, “the thought has crossed my mind” when it comes to resigning early after Marjorie Taylor Greene’s abrupt announcement on Friday night. “I know I’m not the only one,” eyeing the exit, he added.
Kind of weak for an Axios story the day after Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman broke the news about how many House GOP members are on tenure suicide watch. Greene herself tweeted a response to Sherman’s reporting on Monday with “Fact check true but it’s worse than people inside the bubble know when you talk to real Americans outside the wicked snow globe of Washington DC. Myself and many of my colleagues came courageously roaring into 2025 with legislation that matched the 2024 electoral mandate only to be totally sidelined by Johnson under full obedience of the WH.”
“Executive orders are temporary, Q memes have not obliterated the deep state [LOL at that part coming from her but also that it’s a direct shot at Trump himself] and my colleagues constantly trying to pass loyalty tests instead of demanding what is right won’t help Americans pay their rent or stop corporations from buying up homes, buy their groceries, provide good paying jobs and stop foreigners with visas from stealing their jobs, stop American tax dollars from funding foreign wars and causes, or rebuild the value of the dollar. Passing effective legislation that gets signed into law is permanent and actually solves Americans problems. Now that House members are switching gears into campaign mode and will be fighting for their lives, our legislative majority has been mostly wasted. Our best shot was the first 6-9 months. And when Republicans likely lose the midterms it will become total and complete political war and gridlock once again,” Marjorie continued.
Then her former pet Kevin McCarthy told Fox Newsbro Jesse Watters he thinks it’ll get worse:
McCarthy said Greene’s “like the canary in the coal mine. And this is something inside Congress, they’d better wake up, because they are going to get a lot of people retiring, and they’ve got to focus. I think keeping members out of Congress – you only get two years to be in the majority, and if Democrats get you not to work everyday for two months, that’s losing two months of the majority.”
Love the contrast between his words and the chyron “Dems not ready for primetime,” lol.
