Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene amazed Washington, D.C last night when she announced that she will resign from Congress after the first of the year, refusing to meet her obligations to the (dumb) voters who elected her and leaving them without a voice in Congress—an obnoxious and foolish voice, true, but still—for months.

As is often the case with the ethically-challenged, Taylor-Greene has managed to exceed the worst expectations of her. She has been a disgrace; now she is further disgracing herself and doing so with the vacant stare of the IQ-deficient and the phony smile of the bad liar. Like other recently departed creeps (George Santos, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Matt Gaetz) elected by exactly the kinds of voters the Founders were worried about when they decided to try the republic thingy, Taylor-Greene (henceforth just “Green” because I resent having to spend any more time typing her name that I have to) will leave Congress and our government a better place by leaving them.

If you can stand listening watching her nauseating farewell video above to the end in one viewing, I salute you. I had to take a break shortly after she condemned political candidates for trying to “convince Americans to hate the other side more,” which was exactly what Greene tried to do during her short but awful tenure in Washington. I wish I could find a full text of that speech so I could fisk it thoroughly, but on the other hand, what’s the point? The woman is Dunning-Kruger victim and represents the near-bottom of the barrel of our constantly declining political class, the worst in U.S. history. I did take mordant satisfaction in her proud declaration that she always has represented the “common American man and woman,” which is one of the few accurate statements in her video. Indeed: Greene represents the typical apathetic American who was badly educated, never acquired critical thinking skills, acts on emotion rather than reason, is crippled with bias, and civically irresponsible.

Greene is quitting Congress because President Trump hurt her boo-boo, or something. She deliberately attacked him and her own party during a shutdown that was 100% a Democratic Party crisis, handing the Axis some helpful talking points. She pandered to the Trump Deranged progressive on “The View,” which could not be interpreted as anything but an intentional insult to the President. Trump reacted as only a space alien (perhaps) couldn’t predict, and now Greene is 1) playing victim, which she is, but only of her own incompetence and stupidity and 2) punishing her district as her revenge, or whatever it is she thinks she’s doing.

As I wrote of the thankfully retired Sarah Palin when she quit as Governor of Alaska mid-term, an elected public figure is obligated to serve out her term unless a scandal, an indictment or a personal tragedy dictates otherwise. “This is just too frustrating and I can’t handle it! WAH!” is not a justifiable reason to bail on one’s civic commitment. Greene has revealed herself as weak and a weenie on top of her myriad other flaws.

[Aside, so I don’t have to write a whole post on it: Gail Collins wants to know why we haven’t elected a female President? She should just follow the news. Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama (whose been complaining about her hair), Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi (who calls the President of the United States a “thing”), Karine Jean-Pierre, Jill Biden, AOC, Kathy Hochul, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, Katie Porter, Pam Bondi and more have all proven themselves to be unworthy of trust in leadership positions with their evident deficits of ethics, judgment and character. Then there is Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.), who has been charged with stealing federal disaster funds and using the money to support her congressional campaign. Nice!]

I will be shocked—shocked!—if Greene quietly fades into the obscurity she so richly deserves and doesn’t attempt to cash in, probably as one of the avaricious conservatives that the Axis media recruits to provide fake “balance”—David Brooks, Ana Navarro, Michael Steele, John Bolton, etc.

She has been a blight on the political landscape, and her moving on to be a blight on the news commentary landscape would still be a net plus for the culture.
