Greene’s resignation letter casts her as a martyr to “elites,” but it reads like a confession wrapped in denial. She laments a broken Washington she helped shatter, fleeing the chaos she fueled. Her exit is the epitaph of a movement that mistook rage for governance.

The MAGA crackdown after Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a grotesque inversion of “cancel culture,” weaponizing state power, doxxing mobs & employer fear to punish more than 600 Americans—even those who condemned violence. This is #AuthoritarianismInPlainSight.
