Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for the United States of America to disunite in what she labeled a “national divorce” on Monday, garnering criticism across the aisle.

Key Quote: Greene stated on Twitter, “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.” The statement was rebuked by Democrats and Republicans alike, with Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R) calling the comment “destructive and wrong and—honestly—evil,” and determining that “we need elected leaders that don’t profit by tearing us apart.”

Details: Greene did not specify which camp her state of Georgia, which has exclusively Democratic senators, five Democratic congress members, and was won by Joe Biden (D) in the 2020 presidential election, would fall into in the proposed divorce. This is not the first time Greene has promoted the idea of a ‘national divorce.’ She called for a split back in 2021 in protest of Americans migrating from ‘blue states’ to ‘red states.’

How The Media Covered It: Greene’s comments were covered mildly across the spectrum, with most coverage highlighting criticism of Greene. Left-rated outlets were more likely to note that Greene is on the Homeland Security Committee and has recently developed a close relationship with House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who stated he would “​​always take care of [Greene].”

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) on Monday hit back at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s calls for a “national divorce” of Republican and Democratic states, saying the lawmaker’s rhetoric is “evil.”

Greene on Monday suggested the U.S. “separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” re-upping her suggestion of a “divorce” to solve the nation’s division. Cox countered that the country needs “marriage counseling” instead.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican, called for a “national divorce” Monday morning, splitting the country’s conservative and liberal states.

In the tweet, which the congresswoman made on her personal account, she said “we need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government.”

She added that her idea has support from “everyone she talks to” before pointing the finger at “sick and disgusting woke culture issues” and the Democratic Party’s “America Last policies.”

“We are done,” she concluded.

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated Presidents Day by calling for red and blue states to separate in a "national divorce."

"We need a national divorce," Greene tweeted Monday morning, barely weeks after calling President Joe Biden a "liar" in the nationally-televised State of the Union. "We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this."

Greene also called Democrats "traitorous," and angrily accused them of shoving down Republicans' throats "sick and disgusting woke culture issues."
