A sudden declaration of Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation sent shockwaves throughout the partisan sphere over the weekend, as personalities representing throughout the partisan spectrum providing comments ranging from sharp disapproval and praise.
Democratic Reaction
Democratic lawmaker AOC, that frequently disagreed against Greene, challenged the congresswoman's history on health policy while claimed the resignation timing seemed carefully orchestrated to coincide with retirement benefits activation.

I will miss working with Greene greatly."
