Representative AOC, that frequently disagreed with her colleague, challenged the congresswoman's record on health policy and implied the timing appeared carefully planned just after her pension eligibility. She stated: "Greene's votes never supported her speeches. Despite much her discourse, she consistently sided alongside them seeking to undermine healthcare."

Congressional data indicate Greene voted for Medicaid reductions as well as decreases for expanded tax incentives supporting Obamacare in the summer, however the lawmaker later spoke against healthcare law decreases as premiums increased in October.

Republican Comments

Conversely, Marjorie Taylor Greene emulates former critics such as Liz Cheney, former Senator Corker, former Senator Flake and Illinois's Kinzinger in heading for the exit.

Political Moments
