Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was ‘naive’ for believing Trump is man of the people
“I realized that I’m part of this toxic culture. I really started looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ.”
Press (x) for doubt
This from the jewish space laser lady ?
People don't change, some adapt.
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ - Gandhi
So she's either lying or willfully ignorant. I'm leaning towards the former. Either way, not someone worth listening to. Go away, Marge.
I still don't see the point of her lying. Maybe she's pissed she didn't get a job in the Trump admin. In any event, Democrats won't elect her for anything, she's leaving politics.
Oh I get it, clear as day. Trump's dying in front of our eyes with frontotemporal dementia, and god knows what else. Not to mention the Epstein files scandals. Once Trump is dead, the cult collapses. Anyone, like Vance, trying to step into his shoes get ALL the blame for ALL the things.
tl;dr: She is wisely getting ahead on the coming crash.
I loathe the woman, but she's nowhere near as stupid as people think.
Trying to sanitise her image for a run for senate?
You’d have to be naive to believe her.
Reminder that the US elected Trump two times.
And some Americans will believe her. 🤣
I don't necessarily believe her, just can't figure out her angle.
First rat off the ship
Not to save her political career, that's over. Could be the Epstein stuff is actually shocking to her because she's an idiot.
Could be many things. One thought is, she’s just all pissy she got played and she’s trying to stir the pot a bit on her way out before she descends into nowhere.
Or maybe she thinks she start a grift like Charlie Kirk giving speeches or some shit (hence the Christ thing.)

Would bet my life on this. These people only ever talk about Christ when they're trying to grift the Christians. She saw how many people were happy to blow their entire retirement fund on Trump merch and she sees some of those people now being upset at Trump. So she moves in, talks some trash about Trump (because that's all these people ever want, never solutions, only trash talk), sprinkle a little Jesus on it for the razzle-dazzle, boom you just sold $10m worth of MTG merch. Use that money to grease some palms and you've got speaking engagements booked at TPUSA events for the next hundred years.
The people = the small subgroup of people she doesn't hate
And anyone who thinks she's reformed now is even more naive.
People fell for Graham Platner they will sure fall for this.
The mainstream media continue to inexplicably rehabilitate her image and as you can see by the comments here it’s literally working
They are a person who saw that they were the problem. They get credit for that. They might still be a miserable person but we should encourage all Trump supporters to admit their mistake. Some of them might need some knife marks on their forehead but we will get to that later.
"The mainstream media" bullshit is for Trumpers.
She's getting a small level of coverage because of her sharp departure from previous statements.
She might be full of shit but the media simply reporting what she says is not unethical in any way.
You know. I hope she’s earnest about this wake up call and becomes a MAGA “reformist.” Bad people in toxic systems can do good things in life, and her following isn’t trivial.
…But proof is in the puddin. Especially with her history.
I will also say that, if she’s betting on a Trump collapse, that is not a great bet and she knows it. If she simply wants power, it doesn’t seem like she’d be leaving Congress while saying these things.
If she were in it for the power, she'd use her new role as 'maverick' in the GOP's razor-thin margin to play kingmaker.
If she were in if for the money, she'd retire as soon as her pension vests.
If she were Truly Awakened, she'd resign as soon as she learned she's been tainted by a toxic system.
She did the later:
https://apnews.com/article/marjorie-taylor-green-congress-resigns-trump-maga-5f42d4893343babc8e87da1491a0de2b
She said her last day would be Jan. 5, 2026.
It’s not instant. But for a congresswoman, that’s an abrupt resignation.
Jan 5 2026 is the day her pension vests: 5 years of service.
Didn’t realize that.
But still. Not waiting 1 month and forfeiting a government pension, just to make a point? That seems stupid to me. And it’s not like she’s making a ridiculous amount of money from the pension.
To be clear, I don’t want to veer into defending her. I’m sure she makes tons of money from social media, which is kind of sickening.
i dont think she really cares about that, she gained millions during her time in the house.
Odd number considering they serve two year terms.
Turns out this flat out wrong. Five years is when the access to a pension at all - not vested. That's under FERS, which applies to retirement for all federal employees. You can't retire from the House at 40 and claim a pension. You have to reach the retirement age.
Eat shit Marjorie the Gathering
Don't slur the game like that!
[sigh]
To be fair, WOTC has already been screwing it up for a long time...
Some say she was naive, others say she is a stupid evil cunt.
THIS Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Just checking.
“Tantric Warrior” Craig Ivey should be in the Avengers or something:
Zangief?
zangrief.
He is the Zangief of tantric sex!
Just ask Marjorie
I'm so out of touch that I'm not sure if that's a Zangief costume or if a guy that calls himself a Tantric Warrior just dresses that way.
Nah. This backtracking is bullshit. She knew exactly who he was. She just fell off his coattails for whatever reason and now she's playing the victim, even if it's being a willfully ignorant victim.
How COULD she Know that a Billionaire Rapist who NEVER pays His Staff could be a JERK! There were NO WARNINGS!
He definitely didn't already serve a full-term previously, a decade ago, so how the hell could she know!?
Grok said it was all fake, what more can you expect of her.
"Aggressively ignorant" is a better description of her than naïve
Useful idiot that has no use now that Trump is on his way out
You can't change the spots on a Shit Leopard, Bobanders.
What episode of the handmaid's tale is this?
Episode II: Attack of the Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body
I understood this reference.
Not "naive" but, evil and apathetic to others until she is on the other side. No matter what she says she should never be trusted or forgiven.
That being said it's been oddly quiet from her friend boebert.
mtg is one of them that believes in the conspiracies so to speak, when trump dint deliver she became incensed. plus what really tipped her over was trumps lack of endorsment for mtgs run at the senate.
That post gave me a grammeurism
grammeurism
Ooooh, new insult unlocked!
Thanks, I just made it up!
I mean, if she's that dumb, maybe she shouldn't be in politics any more.
Yeah she's a pretty spot on representation of the type of person who would believe someone thoroughly documented as a lifelong liar and grifter is actually a virtuous, truthful individual.
In other words, a dumbfuck.
MAGA once again feeling victimised for political clout
"political clout"
Her political career is over.
But the "Victim Grift" is just begun.
Maybe, don't know who she's going to appeal to. She turned her back on MAGA and the left hates her.
This may be appropriate in two ways. Trump is the leopard in this case but in the future we may look back and see her eating his face. He may have created the leopard that will do him in.
republican party is leopards all the way down
Margie had a chance to ride the criminal train to the top but her cohorts didn't want her on board and now the fury of her hell is upon us.
Nope, she's trying to do damage-control
Please go away trailer trash barbie.
I wonder if she'll change for real, or if this is just another grift.
PLACE YOUR BETS FOLKS!
Narrator: It was a grift.
apparently she is pissed because her senate run was derailed before she had a chance, because trump(likely from his advisor told him not) did not support senate goals.
Does it matter? She has proven she lacks the intellect to lead effectively. At best she pulls some stray maga into some other realm of deep dark stupidity. You can tie a cape on a frog, but it doesn't make it a superhero.
She is the biggest, stinkiest weasel. The sooner I stop hearing about her pathetic ass the better. As soon as she got the same level of pressure as the most spineless democrats she folded like an oragami turd.
You know, it can’t be ignored that when someone middle or left or presumed left suddenly flips and goes MAGA they are immediately elevated and worshipped as an addition to the MAGA hivemind. Take Niki Manaj for example.
But the left isn’t tripping over themselves to put former MAGA toads on a pedestal. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a fruitcake. I don’t know what her motivations are for turning on Trump and MAGA, but her previous lunacy makes her difficult to trust, to say the least.
Token was spent. Trump doesn't need her anymore. She's a nobody. Suddenly she cares and sees.
The rush of motivation can obfuscate the river of the obvious
I mean it (sorta, let's not get too picky about this) literally makes you an idiot when you let it do that, but it totally can
Edit: quickly -> picky. Autocorrect fucked me when I was looking at the keyboard, and I didn't notice 'til after
I think a universal standard of comment editing would be useful.
I am not insane
As an apology it's very horse.
Edit: Gandhi killed his wife, he was a piece of shit. Don't quote him.
I'm genuinely not sure the United States has literally ever had a person that's less of a man/woman "of the people."
I don't like the guy, but genuinely and objectively I believe this to be true. The guy is just a comically awful person - he's so void of any semblance of compassion and empathy that I'd argue a fictitious person of the same character in a movie or book would be an unrealistic and boring villain.
That's who the Republicans elected. An unrealistic, boring villain. A guy that wants money, power, and virtually nothing else.

Saw this recently. Speaks quite well to that point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8swSkk9yeV8

She was being dumb personally making her insider trades for the whole world to see. She became a joke and everyone knew exactly what she was doing so she was cut out and got effed, so now she's mad.
Go away, quitter. You could bring impeachment charges to him today if you wanted to.
BS and she is fucking pathetic.
