(@mtgreenee) Greene released a statement outlining her frustrations with both parties, portraying her decision as the culmination of years of disillusionment with Washington’s political culture. Greene said she has always tried to speak for “the common American man and woman,” arguing that her outsider posture made her an unwelcome presence in the capital.
“Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both Political Parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more. And the results are always the same. No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman,” Greene wrote.
In her statement, Greene framed her five years in Congress as a fight to advance the “America First” agenda she embraced in 2020.
“I ran for Congress in 2020 and have fought every single day believing that Make America Great Again meant America First. I have one of the most conservative voting records in Congress defending the 1st amendment, 2nd amendment, unborn babies because I believe God creates life 1 at conception, strong safe borders, I’ve fought against Covid tyrannical insanity and mandated mass vaccinations, and I’ve never voted to fund foreign wars,” Greene added.
President Donald Trump cut support for Greene and called her a “traitor” after she criticized his foreign policy decisions and refused to withdraw her name from a petition demanding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Greene fired back, calling herself a “patriot” for siding with Epstein’s victims and defending the America First agenda.
