Dig deeper:
President Donald Trump and Greene have fallen out in a public feud.
The Republican congresswoman from Georgia criticized Trump’s foreign policy focus and his reluctance to release more documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump branded her a "traitor" and "wacky" and said he would endorse a challenger against her when she runs for reelection next year.
What they're saying:
"I've always represented the common American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives which is why I've always been despised in Washington DC and never fit in. Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both Political Parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more. And the results are always the same. No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman," Greene wrote in part in her official statement regarding her resignation.
The backstory:
Greene swept to office at the forefront of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement and swiftly became a lightning rod on Capitol Hill for her often beyond-mainstream views.
As she embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory and appeared with white supremacists, Greene was opposed by party leaders but welcomed by Trump. He called her "a real WINNER!"
Yet over time she proved a deft legislator, having aligned herself with then-GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, who would go on to become House speaker. She was a trusted voice on the right flank, until McCarthy was ousted in 2023.
