'Do I have to stay until I'm assassinated?' Marjorie Taylor Greene lashes out over calls to finish her term

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has had some choice words for her critics following her unexpected decision to retire in the middle of her term.

Greene announced she will be retiring on January 5, 2026, before completing her term after a public falling out with her longtime ally President Donald Trump. Greene claimed the dispute originated over her calls to release the Epstein files, an effort Trump later came around to support. Other reports suggest the two split after the White House quietly discouraged Greene from pursuing higher office.

'F**k you in the sweetest most southern drawl I can enunciate.'

Regardless of the root cause, Trump disowned one of his most loyal supporters, prompting Greene to call it quits. At the same time, Greene has had some harsh words for critics who said she should at least serve out the rest of the term she was elected to.

"Oh I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen?" Greene asked Mike Cernovich, who called for her to finish serving her term. "Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk. Will that be good enough for you then?"

"S**t posting on the internet all day isn’t fighting," Greene added. "Get off YOUR ass and run for Congress. I fought harder than anyone in the real arena, not social media. Put down your little pebbles and put your money where your mouth is."

Greene went on to equate calls from critics to finish serving her term to "typical Republican men" demanding women to "get back in the kitchen." Notably this was on her official government account.

"Typical of Republican men telling a woman to 'shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat,'" Greene said. "F**k you in the sweetest most southern drawl I can enunciate."

"I have been trying to tell all you 'men' that our kitchen pantry is empty with spider webs, our house has been ransacked, the windows and doors are broken and busted, and the greedy rich bastards have twisted your minds into a sick state that you all continue in the two party toxic political system and act like college football playoffs yet is burying you and your children and their children and their children in a pine box in a shallow grave."

"Get off your ass and fix your own damn food and clean up the kitchen when you're done."

'Canary in a coal mine': Ousted speaker warns against the rising risk of GOP House resignations

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) warned that political breakups might become more commonplace in the Republican Party.

McCarthy's prediction comes after Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced that she will retire from the House in January before finishing her congressional term. This announcement followed a public falling-out with longtime ally President Donald Trump.

'I've found Marjorie to be very effective.'

Despite being one of Trump's most loyal supporters on Capitol Hill, Greene said their falling-out was over her commitment to releasing the Epstein files, which the White House later supported. Other reports suggested that the split came after the White House squashed Greene's political aspirations beyond the House of Representatives.

"She's leaving Congress, but I don't think that's the end that you'll see about her," McCarthy said.

"I've always believed that any time you have an elected official that's known by three initials, they're effective on what they do," McCarthy added. "And I've found Marjorie to be very effective."

McCarthy, who is all too familiar with having one's political career cut short by MAGA world, said Greene's resignation may be the first of many unless Congress changes course.

"She's almost like a canary in a coal mine," McCarthy said. "And this is something inside Congress. They better wake up, because they're going to get a lot of people retiring, and they gotta focus."

McCarthy also noted that the infighting ultimately takes away from a very small window of time in which Republicans hold the ultimate political advantage: a trifecta majority.

"I think keeping members out of Congress, you only get two years to be in the majority," McCarthy said. "And if the Democrats get you not to work every day for two months, that's losing two months of the majority."

The Most Awkward Moment from Trump-Mamdani Meeting That No One Could Have Predicted

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls it quits after 'traitor' branding by Trump

Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) announced her resignation Friday night, citing a desire to spare her family from further danger and her district from a "hurtful and hateful" Republican primary.

While her current term does not end until Jan. 3, 2027, Greene indicated she will instead leave office on Jan. 5, 2026.

In both her video and written statements, Greene highlighted her historic support for President Donald Trump, her conservative voting record — the New Americans' Freedom Index gives her a lifetime rating of 97% and the Conservative Review's Liberty Score gave her a 100% rating — and her subjection over the years to constant "personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander, and lies."

'All I see 'Wacky' Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!'

"When the common American people finally realize and understand that the Political Industrial Complex of both parties is ripping this country apart, that not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington's machine from gradually destroying our country, and instead the reality is that they, common Americans, The People possess the real power over Washington," wrote Greene, "then I'll be here by their side to rebuild it."

Her resignation announcement comes just days after Greene suggested that the latest series of threats against her life were due to her recent loss of favor with Trump.

The president noted in a lengthy Nov. 14 post on Truth Social that he was withdrawing his support for the "ranting lunatic" Georgia congresswoman and would give "unyielding" support to whomever opposes her in next year's primary.

"All I see 'Wacky' Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12% and didn't have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn't about to get!)," wrote Trump.

When asked days later about the threats against Greene — the Rome Police Department confirmed in an emailed statement to Blaze News that they received reports about them — Trump told reporters, "Marjorie 'Traitor' Greene. I don't think her life is in danger. ... Frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her."

Greene subsequently noted, "President Trump’s unwarranted and vicious attacks against me were a dog whistle to dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks on me and my family."

Since taking office in 2021, Greene has been the victim of numerous swatting attacks — attacks that various lawmakers have suggested are tantamount to attempted murder and domestic terrorism.

The congresswoman alleged that whereas the swatting attacks and death threats she had previously experienced came from the left, she said Trump labeling her a "traitor" made her a target for attacks by individuals on the right.

'Many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.'

"... President Trump has called me a traitor, which is absolutely untrue and horrific," wrote Greene, adding that "this puts blood in the water and creates a feeding frenzy. And it could ultimately lead to a harmful or even deadly outcome."

The response to the news that Greene is leaving office has been mixed.

Trump — whom Greene criticized in recent months for his June airstrikes on Iran and his Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files — told ABC News' Rachel Scott, "I think it's great news for the country. It's great."

Trump commented further Saturday morning — calling her "Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown" — and saying Greene "has decided to call it 'quits'" due to "PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!) ..."

After Trump also dinged Kentucky Republicans U.S. Sen. Rand Paul and U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie — and suggested Greene "went BAD" because he didn't return her phone calls — the president thanked the Georgia congresswoman for her service.

Laura Loomer — who has advocated for the ouster of various elements of Trump's 2024 coalition in recent months — tweeted that "Traitor Greene is a terrible person. I get a lot of joy in watching my enemies fall."

Shawn Harris, a Democrat hoping to flip Greene's seat in the midterm election, also welcomed the news, writing, "Get ready Georgia! Teachers, farmers, veterans, EVERYONE, I need your support."

But some politicos expressed displeasure with Greene's resignation announcement.

Former Cobb County GOP Chairwoman Salleigh Grubbs said she was "heartbroken," noting that Greene "put it all on the line time after time. She fought for her district and put America First. What more could anyone have wanted? A sad day in America."

Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz (R) said "there's a lot of truth to what Marjorie had to say" and added that she can't "blame her for leaving this institution that has betrayed the American people."

Cenk Uygur, the far-left CEO of the Young Turks, wrote the following to Greene: "I would have never imagined saying this, but … don’t go. Stay and fight. Even though we still disagree on so many things, you were one of the very few honest people in Congress. Stay and fight!"

But Greene noted in her Friday statement, "I refuse to be a 'battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better. If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can't even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well."

The disenchanted Republican added, "There is no 'plan to save the world' or insane 4D chess game being played."

'You're a piece of s**t': Nancy Mace and Cory Mills clash in heated exchange after failed censure

Florida Rep. Cory Mills (R) evaded another censure effort Wednesday night, but not without some heated criticism from a Republican colleague.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina forced a censure vote on Mills Wednesday over "alleged stolen valor, arms deals he's under investigation for and alleged abuses toward women." Mace also went after Mills after a handful of Republicans blocked the censure of Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands, who colluded with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.

'The more we learn about this guy and his purported activities, the worse it is.'

Mace alleged that Plaskett's censure failed because Mills cut a "backroom deal" to suppress his own censure. Similar allegations were made toward Mills back in September when he was the deciding vote to protect Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's censure for the insensitive comments she made following Charlie Kirk's assassination.

"Another backroom deal so Cory Mills can’t get censored [sic] for Stolen Valor," Mace said in a post on X. "I have the General who 'recommended' him for the Bronze Star on record saying he never wrote it, never read it and never personally signed it. This. Is. Washington."

The two Republicans reportedly had a heated exchange on the House floor Wednesday night, with Mace calling Mills a "disgrace" and mouthing the words, "You're a piece of s**t."

Mace later addressed these outbursts in a post on X, saying the real scandal is Mills' track record.

"While Rep. Cory Mills is worried about my 'mean' words on the Floor last night — I'm worried about our national security and what sort of arms deals he or his companies have with foreign countries. I'm worried about how court records show he abuses women and had to have a restraining order set against him for it. I'm worried about how stealing the stories of other soldiers constitutes STOLEN VALOR and spits in the faces of veterans who gave it all Hold your tongue and sit this one out Mr. Mills."

The censure vote ultimately failed 310-103, with 204 Republicans and 106 Democrats defending Mills.

Only eight Republicans — Reps. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Kat Cammack of Florida, Joe Wilson of South Carolina, and Mace — voted to advance the censure measure.

Although the censure failed, Mace still called the effort a win.

"Last night was a win with either outcome of the vote," Mace said in a post on X. "Now the Left can't do any more backroom deals with Mills or use Mills as a bargaining chip whenever a Republican moves to censure another. And his investigation has been formally referred to an Ethics Subcommittee."

"However, I pray leadership will remove Mills from his committees until Ethics is done with Mills. The more we learn about this guy and his purported activities, the worse it is."

Blaze News reached out to Mills' office for comment.

With Trump's blessing, House approves resolution to release the Epstein files: 'We have nothing to hide'

After months of pushback, the House passed a resolution to release the highly anticipated Epstein files.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna of California co-authored the resolution to release the Epstein files and forced the House vote Tuesday using a discharge petition. Lawmakers forced the floor vote after the petition secured 218 signatories last week, including Republican Reps. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, and Massie.

'Of course we're for maximum transparency.'

Republican Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana was the lone no vote.

Although only four Republicans signed onto the petition, initially bucking their party, President Donald Trump changed course and encouraged rank-and-file GOP members to vote in favor of the resolution. Republican leadership later followed suit, with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) confirming Tuesday that he would vote in favor of the resolution.

"As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat 'Shutdown,'" Trump said in a Truth Social Post Sunday.

Johnson echoed Trump's message for transparency but mentioned several "dangers" in the current resolution he hopes will be amended in the Senate, including concerns for victims' privacy and inadequate handling of child sexual abuse materials.

"There's a handful of Republicans, Judiciary Committee members, and a few others who are really struggling, as I have been, about whether or not they can even vote yes today because of this," Johnson said during a presser Tuesday. "Because we don't have an absolute guarantee that this will be fixed in the Senate."

Despite these concerns, Johnson urged the conference to "vote their conscience."

"Having now forced the vote, none of us want to go on record and in any way be accused of not being for maximum transparency," Johnson said. "So the only intellectually consistent position to have right now ... is to allow for everyone to vote their conscience and to go on record to say, 'Of course we're for maximum transparency.'"

The resolution is now headed to the Senate. If it passes, Trump confirmed that he would sign the resolution into law.

Mike Johnson changes course ahead of key Epstein vote

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is following in President Donald Trump's footsteps ahead of the House vote to release the Epstein files.

After months of pushing back on Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie's Epstein discharge petition, Trump changed course and encouraged House Republicans to vote in favor of the resolution Tuesday.

'We have nothing to do with Epstein.'

Rank-and-file Republicans followed suit and began to embrace Massie's petition publicly, and Johnson, who previously expressed misgivings about the discharge petition, later announced that he will vote for the resolution.

However, there are a few caveats.

Johnson conceded that he would vote in favor of the resolution but maintained that there were several "dangers" regarding victim privacy, inadequate handling of child sexual abuse materials, and the lack of protections for whistleblowers.

"There's a handful of Republicans, Judiciary Committee members, and a few others who are really struggling, as I have been, about whether or not they can even vote yes today because of this," Johnson said during the presser. "Because we don't have an absolute guarantee that this will be fixed in the Senate."

Despite these "dangers," Johnson said he has a "high degree of confidence" that the Senate will implement the necessary changes, allowing him to vote yes on the resolution.

Massie and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna of California co-led the discharge petition, securing 218 signatures Wednesday to force a vote on the House floor. All 214 Democrats signed on to the petition alongside four Republicans: Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Massie.

Although the petition received the support of only four Republicans, the vote is expected to pass with overwhelming GOP support after Trump gave the conference the green light on Sunday.

He also confirmed Monday that he would sign the resolution once it passes Congress.

“We have nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats do," Trump said from the Oval Office. "All of his friends were Democrats."
