Reflecting on Marjorie Taylor Greene's change

One of the most ardent of President Trump’s supporters in Congress for the past five years has been the Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. But in the first week of January she abruptly resigned from the House of Representatives having publicly split with President Trump on a number of issues as vocally as she had supported him for most of those five years.

When she was first elected to the House in 2020, her politics were regarded by many as so extreme that within a month of her arrival she was removed from all her committee positions in the House after she had publicly endorsed the use of political violence.

Two years later, she was removed from one of the key Republican groups in the House for publicly insulting a colleague.
