Marjorie Taylor Greene is no longer a member of Congress. The controversial Georgia representative, who served since 2021, made her resignation official on January 5 after announcing her departure in November.
The Resignation
Greene’s exit follows months of tension with President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans. The breakdown began when she opposed AI provisions in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” in June 2025, later admitting she hadn’t read the full legislation.
Her relationship with Trump deteriorated further when she:
- Opposed bombing Iranian nuclear sites
- Demanded release of Epstein files
- Faced Trump’s public withdrawal of support on November 14
**Trump announced on Truth Social:
> “I will be withdrawing my support and endorsement” of Greene
Final Reflections
Rather than discussing her congressional service, Greene marked her first day as a civilian by reflecting on the January 6 Capitol riots. She shared her 2021 visit to the “DC Gulag” where January 6 defendants were held.
Greene wrote:
> “I’ll never forget going into the DC Gulag in Nov 2021 and seeing the J6’ers who were being held over 22 hours a day in solitary confinement”
She described joining detainees in singing the national anthem, calling it “a sound I’ll never forget.”
Controversial Legacy
Before her Trump fallout, Greene built a reputation as one of Congress’s most controversial members. House Republicans and Democrats voted 230-199 to strip her committee assignments early in her tenure.
Her provocative actions included:
- Displaying nude Hunter Biden photos during hearings
- Calling Rep. Lauren Boebert a “little b—-“
- Promoting school shooting conspiracy theories
- Heckling President Biden during State of the Union addresses
- Refusing mask mandates, accumulating $50,000 in fines
- Displaying transphobic signage outside her office
What’s Next
Following her December congressional exit, journalist Brian Glenn announced their engagement on December 15. Glenn, who met Greene in 2022, plans to leave his White House correspondent role and build a Georgia studio for future projects.
Glenn told The Washington Post:
> “When you take her out of politics, she’s sweet. She’s sweet!”
> Key Takeaways
> – Greene’s resignation became official January 5 after November announcement
> – Her departure stems from conflicts with Trump and GOP leadership
> – She leaves behind a legacy of controversial actions and statements
> – Future plans include potential Senate run and media projects in Georgia
The former congresswoman’s exit represents a significant change in Congress’s MAGA faction dynamics as Republicans navigate internal divisions heading into future elections.
