Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is leaving Congress soon, just dropped some serious criticism about the culture inside President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. The Georgia Republican told the New York Times in a recent interview that she “never liked” the “sexualization” of women she observed happening at the Palm Beach property.
Greene, who was once one of the president’s most vocal supporters, was very blunt about her discomfort with the atmosphere. “I have two daughters, and I’ve always been uncomfortable with how those women puff up their lips and enlarge their breasts,” she stated.
She believes that the way women in leadership present themselves actually sends an important message to younger women, which is why she found the atmosphere so problematic. “I never liked the MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization,” Greene added. Honestly, hearing that kind of candid reaction from someone who was so close to the administration is pretty wild.
It shows a real philosophical split that goes beyond just policy
This commentary comes as Greene prepares to vacate her seat in the House on January 5, after winning election back in 2020. Her resignation follows a major falling out with President Trump. The president revoked his support for her in November and indicated he would back a primary challenger in her district. That was clearly the final straw for the 51-year-old representative.
Greene explained at the time that she didn’t want her constituents to have to suffer through a difficult primary fight. She worried that if she stayed to fight the president’s chosen candidate, Republicans would likely lose the midterms because the party would be so focused on internal battles. She said she did “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.”
The public split wasn’t only about the primary, though. She went against the president’s initial wishes regarding the files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Greene, alongside Reps. Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, and Thomas Massie, were among the only House Republicans to sign a discharge petition to force the bill to the floor. That bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, eventually passed Congress with overwhelming support last month after President Trump made a last-minute endorsement flip and signed it into law.
“Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong,” Greene said. “You just keep pummeling your enemies, no matter what. And as a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that.” That statement really crystallizes the massive shift in her political identity and signals why she’s walking away from her congressional role. It sounds like she decided the political cost of staying loyal was simply too high.
