Nov. 21 Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will resign from Congress effective Jan. 5 due to her frustration with Washington politics that she said change nothing.
Greene announced her pending resignation in a social media post early Friday evening.
« I’ve always represented the common American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives, which is why I’ve always been despised in Washington, D.C., and never fit in », Greene said in a four-page statement.
She also released a video message to Georgia’s 14th district and America.
She called the nation’s capital a « political industrial complex » in which Republicans and Democrats compete to convince voters to hate the other party more, « and the results are the same. »
No matter which political party wields the most power, « nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman », Green said, adding that « the debt goes higher. »
« Corporate and global interests remain Washington’s sweethearts », Greene said. « American jobs continue to be replaced, whether it’s by illegal labor or legal labor by visas or just shipped overseas.
