Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s anticipated entry into Georgia’s upcoming Senate race would have been a likely gift to Sen. Jon Ossoff. A recent AJC poll showed her coming in dead last at 17 points behind Ossoff.
Once again, that personal responsibility Republicans love to tout for other people doesn’t apply to their own perpetually-victimized selves.
From The New York Times:
[Greene’s withdrawal] — a huge relief to Republicans who feared she would challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and jeopardize their chance at defeating him — came 1,200 words deep into a screed against her party that Ms. Greene posted on social media on Friday night.
In her tirade against the forces she blamed for standing in her way, Ms. Greene ripped the National Republican Senatorial Committee, G.O.P. consultants, pollsters, wealthy donors, the institution of the Senate and the Republican lawmakers who serve in it who she said “sabotage Trump’s agenda.”
“No, Jon Ossoff isn’t the real problem,” Ms. Greene wrote in a post on X. “He’s just a vote. A pawn. No different than the Uniparty Republicans who skip key votes to attend fundraisers and let our agenda fail.”
