Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) flatly rejected the concept that Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who introduced her resignation on Friday evening, turned “kind of an ally on some issues” with Democrats.
In a surprising announcement, Greene said she would stop the House of Representatives in the midst of her time period on Jan. 5, 2026. She acknowledged that she desires to keep away from a “hateful primary” problem, egged on by President Donald Trump. A longtime Trump supporter, Greene has run afoul of Trump in current weeks by publicly bucking him on the discharge of the Epstein information and H-1B visas.
“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” Green stated, asserting her resignation.
Shortly after Greene’s announcement, Auchincloss appeared on AC360 on NCS, the place visitor host John King requested for the lawmaker’s response.
“If we were having this conversation weeks ago or a month ago, a Democrat hearing Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving Washington and going home, there’d be champagne popping and handstands and the like,” King stated. “In the last couple of weeks or so, she’s become kind of an ally on some issues. What do you make of this?”
“No, John, she hasn’t,” Auchincloss fired again, letting out a chuckle.
“Not on the Epstein files?” King famous.
“She’s an outrage entrepreneur,” Auchincloss replied. “And she will seek out whatever the hot-button issue of the day is. And when I hear David Axelrod describe her as, quote, ‘a formidable character in public life,’ to me it says nothing about her. And it says everything about the state of our public life today in America.”
Watch above by way of NCS.
