Marjorie Taylor Green finds one last way to screw Donald Trump on our way out, and I've got three

interviews, Pats of America's Tommy Vitor, Puck journalist Peter Hamby, and the Democratic nominee

for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, Afton Bain. I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No

Lie. So we have watched as the relationship between Trump and Marjorie Tiller-Green has

precipitously declined over the course of just weeks, culminating into a full break this past

week and Green ultimately announcing her resignation on Friday. But I don't think it goes unnoticed

that Green opted to resign instead of retire. Like, let's be clear, her decision to take that

route undoubtedly screws Trump and Mike Johnson

because now the already razor slim margin in the house just got even smaller for the GOP.

And let's be clear, Green absolutely could have chosen to just retire at the end of her term.

That means Mike Johnson would have been able to maintain his current margins, slim though they may be,

until Green left office in January of 2027. But instead of retiring, she resigned immediately,

effective like January 5th, 2026, meaning that until her seat is filled, Mike Johnson watches the

House majority shrink even more. And at a time when Republicans are finally

starting to feel emboldened to do the unthinkable and defect from Trump, that is a headache

that Mike Johnson didn't want, but now has. But I actually think this is all indicative of a much

bigger and more pervasive problem in the GOP. And that's that green felt secure enough to even

do this in the first place.

Remember, the reason that Trump seems so powerful or has seemed so powerful for all of this time

is because he's been able to command total loyalty from his party, that everybody is petrified

of crossing him or uttering an ill word of him. But think about what's happened in just the last

couple of weeks.
