Figured I'd bring a more fleshed-out story to the party. Now, of course, the main question is: Is this just one of her stunts?

Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of the most prominent voices in Donald Trump’s Maga movement, has declared in an interview that she feels that the Republican party has lost touch with its base, and suggested she may abandon the party entirely.

The Georgia congresswoman told the Daily Mail this week she was questioning whether she still belongs in the Republican fold and expressed resounding frustration with GOP leadership.

“I don’t know if the Republican party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican party as much any more,” Greene said. “I don’t know which one it is.”

Erh, she's going with Musk, isn't she? We were this close, this close to have her fuck off for good... alas...

Trust me on this one: nobody likes Marjorie Taylor Greene. Republicans would love it if she left.

I'm all for this. A fractured Republican party is good for this nation.

Is this because she finally figured out that Trump is a pedophile or is this some other thing?
