One of Donald Trump's Maga superstars and staunchest defenders, the Georgia congresswoman's relentless calls for releasing files related to late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and recent criticism of some of his policies led to a bitter public feud.
After the US president labelled her a "traitor", she said in a video announcing her departure: "I refuse to be a 'battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better." Trump, who had threatened to support a Republican challenger to unseat Greene, called her resignation "great news for the country" in an interview with ABC News.
She said in her video statement, posted on social media, that she would leave the US Congress on 5 January 2026.
Clearly, one MAGA supporter has seen the light. It is to be hoped that many more MAGA supporters also see the light very soon and jump ship. The MAGA movement is like a metastasising cancer on the West. The West will be best served when the movement dies a natural death. — © Mark Alexander
