Marjorie Taylor Greene is in a downward spiral as 'her own team' abandons her: columnist
With her biggest booster abandoning her after she flipped out as Congress passed a massive $95 million foreign aid package despite her threats, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appears to have overplayed her hand — and set in motion the end of her reign of terror in the House.
That is the opinion of the New York Times' Michelle Cottle in a column in which she claimed Greene just had the worst week of her political career, culminating in Donald Trump siding with House Speaker Michael Johnson on the bill and subsequently leaving her "flapping and flailing."
As the columnist wrote, Taylor Greene now stands humiliated after embarrassing herself to the point where "members of her own team feel compelled to abandon her."

As Cottle notes, Greene has done significant damage to the far-right wing in the House and will likely see her influence in the caucus quickly wane at a rapid pace.
"She has, in very little time, undermined the influence of her party’s entire right flank, driving less unhinged Republicans — most notably the House speaker, Mike Johnson — to brush back her and her ilk like the poo-flinging chaos monkeys they are," Cottle wrote, before opining, "I may be off base here, Marjo, but trashing your colleagues as no better than the other side in a high-stakes election year is not the best way to win them over to your kamikaze mission."
As it stands now, Cottle suggested that Greene's only allies left standing seem to be in the Kremlin.
"More food for thought, congresswoman: When Russian propagandists start praising your politics and beauty, it’s time to rethink your life choices," she wrote, adding, "I mean, not even Donald Trump is throwing in with 'Moscow Marjorie,' as she has been dubbed in some cheekier conservative corners."
