In a lengthy statement posted to X, Greene cited her growing disillusionment with Washington politics, blasting what she called a corrupt "Political Industrial Complex" that she said uses Americans as "pawns in an endless game of division."
"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," Greene wrote. "And the results are always the same — nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman."
Greene, once one of President Trump’s fiercest defenders, acknowledged that his recent public break was "hurtful" but said her faith and convictions remain intact. Trump has called Greene "Wacky" and "a ranting lunatic."
