Oh, get stuffed with your ludicrous “free speech” whining.

I’ve been on a news fast the last few days — it’s a tool for maintaining my sanity — and I totally missed this unexpected news:

Greene abruptly resigned from Congress, effective 5 January, in a 10-minute video post outlining her unhappiness with Republicans on issues including the public release of the Jeffrey Epstein files in the government’s possession, US financing of foreign conflicts, Trump’s decision to potentially back a candidate against her, and the cost of living and healthcare.

Well, good riddance. Of course she also spoiled her exit by comparing herself to a “battered wife,” which was wildly inappropriated — she’s getting rich off her connections, is featured on the national news all the time, and has more power to influence public policy than most of us. I’m not buying it. At least Ocasio-Cortez sees right through her.

“She’s carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement on her Instagram account, and criticized her voting record on healthcare.
¬
But Ocasio-Cortez said Greene “is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she’s STILL voting with them to gut healthcare … ”

Greene voted in the summer for cuts to Medicaid and the reduction of enhanced tax credits for the Affordable Care Act, but then in October criticized the ACA cuts as premiums soared.

She’ll be back, unfortunately. She loves the spotlight too much.
