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.

The only way they could pick someone as VP that is more reviled by nearly everyone would be to pick Kyrsten Sinema. Who started in the Green Party, by the way. Being affiliated with that party should probably be considered a red flag at this point.

Maybe Kirsten Gillibrand is nearly as toxic, for those that remember her when it comes to Al Franken.

Between Fetterman, Sinema, Cuomo, and Gillibrand it's hard to pick which one is more annoying.
