Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was ‘naive’ for believing Trump is man of the people

“I realized that I’m part of this toxic culture. I really started looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ.”

Press (x) for doubt

This from the jewish space laser lady ?

People don't change, some adapt.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ - Gandhi

So she's either lying or willfully ignorant. I'm leaning towards the former. Either way, not someone worth listening to. Go away, Marge.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I still don't see the point of her lying. Maybe she's pissed she didn't get a job in the Trump admin. In any event, Democrats won't elect her for anything, she's leaving politics.

You’d have to be naive to believe her.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Reminder that the US elected Trump two times.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And some Americans will believe her. 🤣

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't necessarily believe her, just can't figure out her angle.

Not to save her political career, that's over. Could be the Epstein stuff is actually shocking to her because she's an idiot.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Could be many things. One thought is, she’s just all pissy she got played and she’s trying to stir the pot a bit on her way out before she descends into nowhere.

Or maybe she thinks she start a grift like Charlie Kirk giving speeches or some shit (hence the Christ thing.)

And anyone who thinks she's reformed now is even more naive.

The mainstream media continue to inexplicably rehabilitate her image and as you can see by the comments here it’s literally working

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

They are a person who saw that they were the problem. They get credit for that. They might still be a miserable person but we should encourage all Trump supporters to admit their mistake. Some of them might need some knife marks on their forehead but we will get to that later.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

"The mainstream media" bullshit is for Trumpers.

She's getting a small level of coverage because of her sharp departure from previous statements.

She might be full of shit but the media simply reporting what she says is not unethical in any way.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You know. I hope she’s earnest about this wake up call and becomes a MAGA “reformist.” Bad people in toxic systems can do good things in life, and her following isn’t trivial.

…But proof is in the puddin. Especially with her history.

I will also say that, if she’s betting on a Trump collapse, that is not a great bet and she knows it. If she simply wants power, it doesn’t seem like she’d be leaving Congress while saying these things.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If she were in it for the power, she'd use her new role as 'maverick' in the GOP's razor-thin margin to play kingmaker.

If she were in if for the money, she'd retire as soon as her pension vests.

If she were Truly Awakened, she'd resign as soon as she learned she's been tainted by a toxic system.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

She did the later:

https://apnews.com/article/marjorie-taylor-green-congress-resigns-trump-maga-5f42d4893343babc8e87da1491a0de2b

She said her last day would be Jan. 5, 2026.

It’s not instant. But for a congresswoman, that’s an abrupt resignation.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Jan 5 2026 is the day her pension vests: 5 years of service.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Didn’t realize that.

But still. Not waiting 1 month and forfeiting a government pension, just to make a point? That seems stupid to me. And it’s not like she’s making a ridiculous amount of money from the pension.

To be clear, I don’t want to veer into defending her. I’m sure she makes tons of money from social media, which is kind of sickening.

THIS Marjorie Taylor Greene?

mtg is one of them that believes in the conspiracies so to speak, when trump dint deliver she became incensed. plus what really tipped her over was trumps lack of endorsment for mtgs run at the senate.

Not "naive" but, evil and apathetic to others until she is on the other side. No matter what she says she should never be trusted or forgiven.

That being said it's been oddly quiet from her friend boebert.

This may be appropriate in two ways. Trump is the leopard in this case but in the future we may look back and see her eating his face. He may have created the leopard that will do him in.

Nah. This backtracking is bullshit. She knew exactly who he was. She just fell off his coattails for whatever reason and now she's playing the victim, even if it's being a willfully ignorant victim.

Margie had a chance to ride the criminal train to the top but her cohorts didn't want her on board and now the fury of her hell is upon us.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I mean, if she's that dumb, maybe she shouldn't be in politics any more.

[–] biotin7@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Nope, she's trying to do damage-control

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah she's a pretty spot on representation of the type of person who would believe someone thoroughly documented as a lifelong liar and grifter is actually a virtuous, truthful individual.

In other words, a dumbfuck.

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Aggressively ignorant" is a better description of her than naïve

She is the biggest, stinkiest weasel. The sooner I stop hearing about her pathetic ass the better. As soon as she got the same level of pressure as the most spineless democrats she folded like an oragami turd.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I wonder if she'll change for real, or if this is just another grift.

Narrator: It was a grift.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

apparently she is pissed because her senate run was derailed before she had a chance, because trump(likely from his advisor told him not) did not support senate goals.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Does it matter? She has proven she lacks the intellect to lead effectively. At best she pulls some stray maga into some other realm of deep dark stupidity. You can tie a cape on a frog, but it doesn't make it a superhero.

As an apology it's very horse.

Edit: Gandhi killed his wife, he was a piece of shit. Don't quote him.
