A abrupt announcement of Marjorie Taylor Greene's departure sent ripples through the partisan landscape this weekend, as personalities representing throughout the political range expressing comments that included strong disapproval to support.
Liberal Response
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who regularly clashed against the Georgia Republican, criticized her voting record on medical care and suggested the timing seemed carefully arranged just after her pension vesting.

Massie, who had also expressed outspoken positions critical of Trump including concerning the financier Epstein files publication, stated using Twitter expressing he remained "extremely disappointed regarding our country though so pleased about my friend MTG. I'll miss Greene greatly."
