Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigns, Signals Break from QAnon

Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from Congress, presenting a statement that seemingly distances her from the conspiracy theory group QAnon. Greene, who has faced scrutiny for her past support of these theories, expressed her discontent with the political establishment in Washington during a ten-minute video shared on November 22, 2025.

In her resignation statement, Greene criticized the influence of various societal elites and indicated a departure from QAnon rhetoric. She stated, “If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.” This remark appears to reference the widely circulated conspiracy theories that have defined her public persona.

Greene’s statement also disavowed the notion of a “plan to save the world” and the concept of “4D chess,” which many QAnon supporters have used to explain the actions of former President Donald Trump. A notable reference in her statement was to the film *Q: The Plan to Save the World*, which has been pivotal in recruiting followers to the conspiracy theory.

In her resignation video, Greene expressed her frustration with both major political parties, claiming that they contribute to the division within the nation. She articulated concern for how the “Political Industrial Complex” is damaging the country and emphasized the need for ordinary Americans to reclaim their power over Washington.

Greene characterized her decision to resign as a way to spend more time with her family and to escape the constant threats she has received following her public confrontations, including those with Trump. She specified her last day in office would be January 5, 2026.

Throughout her political career, Greene has faced allegations regarding her endorsement of various extremist views, including antisemitism and racism. She initially faced backlash from prominent Republican figures when she won the primary election for her congressional seat in Georgia, but her position became more secure after aligning herself with Trump.

Greene’s attempts to distance herself from QAnon began when she entered Congress. She claimed to have stopped following the conspiracy theory in 2018 and expressed regret over her previous involvement, stating, “I posted about it on Facebook. I read about it, I talked about it, I asked questions about it… I regret that.”

Despite her resignation, Greene’s future remains uncertain. She has hinted at the possibility of pursuing a media career or even running for higher office in the upcoming election cycles. Speculation surrounding her next steps will likely dominate discussions among her supporters and critics alike.

In a response to Greene’s resignation, Trump remarked, “I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,” indicating no intentions to reconcile with her. He expressed a lack of awareness regarding her decision before the announcement, stating, “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know but I think it’s great. I think she should be happy.”

As Greene prepares to exit Congress, her legacy and the impact of her resignation on the Republican Party will be closely monitored in the coming months.
