I defended Marjorie Taylor Greene longer than I should have because I assumed the chaos had a purpose and believed the America First rhetoric meant something underneath the noise. That belief ended the moment she posed with Code Pink.

When “America First” Meets Code Pink

You do not accidentally end up with Code Pink. It’s a choice.

For anyone unfamiliar, Code Pink is not a generic peace group. It is an activist organization that has spent years siding against the United States while enjoying the freedoms this country provides. They have defended Hamas. They have excused Iran. They have attacked the U.S. military while treating America as the root of global evil. This is not rumor. It is their record.

That matters because words like “peace” get abused. Code Pink does not oppose violence in principle. They oppose American power specifically. Their protests are selective. Their outrage always flows in one direction. When America acts, they scream. When terrorists act, they explain.

That is the group Marjorie Taylor Greene chose to stand beside.

MTG finally showed her true colors, and it’s CODE PINK, not red.

Marjorie is on Full Tilt

Once that line was crossed, the rest stopped being confusing. Greene is not fighting for anything anymore. She is leaving Congress early, with her last day set for January 5, and she is behaving exactly like someone who knows she will not be around to answer for the damage. The toddler tantrum is hitting full volume.

When people know the clock has run out, restraint disappears. Reputation stops mattering. The instinct shifts from building something to burning it. That is why the reports now circulating feel less like gossip and more like a preview.

Marjorie’s Blow Up

The Georgia flameout is walking the halls pitching a motion to vacate aimed at House Speaker Mike Johnson, even though she’s out the door in weeks. She’s reportedly asking members to help her blow up leadership while she skips town. If true, I am sure Republicans are avoiding eye contact and pretending they’ve just received an urgent text.

“Marjorie is approaching members to get to nine who will oust the speaker,” the source said. “And if we don’t get to work on codifying Trump’s agenda, anything can happen.”

Greene publicly denied the report and slammed MS NOW journalists who approached her about the reports, insisting it was “not true” that she was organizing against Johnson.

“I’m not interested in participating in your story,” Greene said.

The claims, however, surface after repeated attacks on the speaker by Greene over the Republican shutdown strategy, healthcare policy, and, on CNN this week, accusing him of marginalizing female GOP lawmakers. – Mediaite

This is not about winning. She does not have the votes. House rules were rewritten after the McCarthy implosion specifically to stop this kind of stunt. Greene knows that. The point is disruption without responsibility.

Boebert on Greene

And here is where the contrast gets brutal.

Lauren Boebert, of all people, now sounds like the adult in the room. She casually noted the timing of Greene’s exit, then went back to doing her job. Boebert used to chase the spotlight. Now she seems content avoiding it and frankly looks healthier for it. Meanwhile, Greene is still chasing attention, still stirring chaos, and still trying to burn the place down before security escorts her out.

This is what happens when conviction gives way to ego. The allies drift off and the noise ramps up.

Bye, Felicia!

What makes this so aggravating is that none of this was inevitable. Greene did not have to end this way. She could have finished her term quietly. She could have stepped back without torching everything she touched. Better yet, she could have spared her voters the embarrassment of watching her spiral.

Instead, she chose spectacle. I see it now.

I keep thinking about the people who defended her when it wasn’t fashionable. They absorbed the ridicule and trusted that beneath the mess there was something solid. Greene repaid that trust by posing with Code Pink and then turning around to sabotage her own party on the way out.

That is not betrayal in theory. It’s betrayal in practice.

Fighters stay and take responsibility. Performers quit early and call it rebellion.

Greene isn’t America First. She’s Jane Fonda energy. I regret ever giving her the benefit of the doubt.
