MTG's Unexpected Departure Triggers Partisan Feedback

A unexpected declaration of Marjorie Taylor Greene's departure created waves throughout the partisan sphere over the weekend, as personalities representing spanning the partisan divide expressing reactions from harsh condemnation to praise.

Conservative Reactions

I will miss having her tremendously."
