The Morning Briefing: Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Keeping It Weird Until the End

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is spending the day sharing Braunschweiger recipes with itinerant bocce ball aficionados.

That was an intensely strange way to emerge from my regularly scheduled weekly news coma. My weekends are devoted to sports, video games, and non-political reading. By the time I get around to paying attention to the real world on Sunday night, all kinds of fun stuff has gone on. Finding out that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had a Michelle Obama moment was a real shocker.

This is from Victoria:

America won't have Marjorie Taylor Greene to kick around anymore.
The woman whom Donald Trump renamed "Marjorie Traitor Greene" on a variety of issues, the latest of which was the release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents — documents which ultimately condemned Democrats.
In a video statement she released Friday night, Greene bitterly reflected that, "Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States," which, of course, was not the point of the president's push back on the Epstein files, but... here we are.

President Trump and Notorious MTG have been butting heads a lot lately. I haven't paid too much attention to any of it, probably because so much of it was Epstein-related. That's just all so much white noise to me. There's also the fact that, throughout her career in Congress, MTG has been know to attract a lot of attention.

That's why some of her farewell message seemed odd to me. There was a big "pity poor me" vibe to it, which is why I mentioned Michelle Obama earlier. She even likened herself to a "battered wife" at one point. Greene has never shied away from melodrama.

This is a little bit reminiscent of Jeff Flake's departure from the Senate several years ago. He saw the writing on the wall and bugged out very early because he knew he wasn't going to survive the primaries. That was way back before Trump had any kingmaker juice at all.

The timing was interesting too. Scott wrote about it from a PR standpoint:

And this brings us to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), one of the most media-savvy members of congress. From Fox News to CNN to The View, since assuming office on Jan. 3, 2021, the most dangerous place in D.C. is between Greene and a camera. From national TV interviews to on-set visits to Tucker Carlson’s podcast, she’s certainly not media-shy.

As Scott notes, the announcement wasn't time-sensitive, she could have rolled it out anytime in the next month or so. A Friday night, though? That's where news goes to die. Granted, Friday night news dumps aren't what they use to be. News cycles in the Trump era don't experience too many lulls. Still, Friday nights are for football at this time of year.

I have rather enjoyed most of Marjorie Taylor Greene's congressional career. She's a firebrand who didn't avoid confrontation, and she was fiercely loyal to Trump for a long time. These last few month have gotten out of control. If she had decided to remain in office and was able to win again, I fear that she would have continued to go the Never Trump route. That would have been more of a branding ploy than anything having to do with deep convictions.

It's going to be quieter in the House of Representatives without MTG roaming around. The Trump-haters will be feasting on this news for a while. Expect a lot MSM drivel about MAGA being shattered or something. As Victoria mentioned, there are a lot of rumors that Greened wants to be Georgia's next governor. We'll be hearing from her again.
