Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) reiterated her call for a “national divorce” to separate the country along political lines on Monday. This latest update comes in light of the mixed reactions to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and ongoing disputes over federal fundraising.
Greene expressed her frustrations on X, stating, “There’s nothing to talk about with the left. They hate us.” She added, “To be honest, I want a peaceful divorce from a citizen.”
“Our country is too far, too much divided, and it’s no longer safe for us,” Greene further remarked.
Kirk, who was just 31, was tragically shot during an event at Utah Valley University last week. Tyler Robinson, the alleged gunman, is currently in custody as authorities continue their investigations.
In a related aftermath, numerous individuals who weren’t directly involved in the incident have faced backlash, and some have even lost their jobs due to comments made about Kirk’s political stance following his death.
“They assassinated our nice guy who actually spoke about ideas to discuss peacefully,” Greene wrote in a social media post on Monday. “Then we celebrated the millions on the left and made it clear that we all wanted to be dead.”
This isn’t the first time Greene has mentioned a “national divorce”; she proposed the idea back in February, suggesting separation by red and blue states to decrease the size of the federal government.
Interestingly, at least one national poll indicated that the concept is largely unpopular among most Americans.
“I pray for the left, but personally I have nothing to do with them,” she mentioned.
Greene, who has faced criticism from both sides of the aisle for her controversial comments, clashed with members from both parties over a proposed spending plan aimed at avoiding government shutdowns until at least November 20th.
“The Democrats are firm in their beliefs and will quickly change course when they gain power,” she noted. “And if you think Republicans will combat evil with the current resources they have, you might be in for a letdown this time.”
“The government is not the answer, God,” she concluded.
