Greene gives lengthy interview with New York Times days before stepping down as congresswoman for Georgia
Marjorie Taylor Greene, now just days away from stepping down as a congresswoman for Georgia, has said in her latest mea culpa interview that she “was just so naive” for believing that Donald Trump was a man of the people.
In a lengthy interview with the New York Times that examines her break with the president after years of devotion, Greene explained that a series of minor ruptures with the president culminated in a total breach after conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was killed in September.
The third-term Georgia congresswoman said she was watching Kirk’s memorial service on TV when his widow Erika said she forgave her husband’s killer. But then Trump took the stage to say that unlike Kirk – “a missionary with a noble spirit” who did not “hate” his opponents, Trump said he disagreed.
“I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them,” Trump said.
Was she naive about Jewish space lasers, controlling the weather or the parkland shootings too?
The much longer NYT article that The Guardian is pulling from:

https://archive.ph/zTlk0Green said that her turn away from unrepentant Maga acolyte came in that moment and she abandoned her training “to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong”.
I’m sorry, are we all just glossing over the casual mention that there’s MAGA training to never apologize or admit you’re wrong? I assumed this was their unofficial playbook, but this is the first I’ve ever heard of an actual training being mentioned.
How much is NYT being paid to rehabilitate her image?
I wanna make this abundantly clear:
MTG was fully aware of and supportive of every single fucking thing Trump has done, promised to do, and will do.
This is all a facade and she is only undertaking it because she is part of the population of GOP politicians that is no longer confident Trump can steal the 2026 and 2028 elections.
She has stated repeatedly that her political opponents are evil devil worshippers who should be executed. Nothing she says should ever be taken as legitimate or true.
Naive my ass. She knew exactly who he was the whole time. It was just her turn to get vilified and boohoo, how could he do this TO ME?!?! Leopards, yada yada
You’re doing that thing where you think everyone is the same as you. And you saw it coming.
Some people saw it earlier, some saw it later, some still havent seen it.
But empathy isn’t a weakness it’s a strength. So please stop acting like a Republican and understand our opponents even if the only reason is it helps us win.
What you’re doing now hurts our chances of winning, even though that’s probably not your intent you’re helping trump.
The giveaways to billionaires were pretty subtle if you have oatmeal for brains.
She went from a net worth of about 300k to over 20 million in 5 years. Totally normal on a public servant salary.
No, no, stop it. She was horrible before this turnaround, horrible before she was in Congress, and horrible before Trump. No rehabilitation for somebody so clearly malicious without some serious and real work - not just vague and obvious words. Actions. Hard work and effort. She is not reformed. She’s grifting. Stop.
Trump called her and yelled “my friends will get hurt” if the files were released.
Trump admits his friends are pedophiles and/or sex traffickers.
Try “willfully ignorant” or " maliciously stupid".
LOL, the idea that any Republican is going to be a man of the people is just hilarious.
You’re not naive, you’re an evil, ignorant, opportunistic waste of skin & oxygen that knew she could get rich riding on Trump’s populist coattails & is now jumping ship like the other rats since he’s shown his true face & 1/2 of his moronic base finally figured out that they are in fact the baddies.
“naive” isn’t the same as “willfully-ignorant”.
