She can apologize all she wants, but actions speak louder than words. Until she starts taking action to prove she's sorry, nothing has actually changed.

I don't forgive you
This is a good start. I still hope she leaves office and is never heard from again, but maybe her doing this will open the door for some more maga to find there way out of the cult.
Seriously.
I feel like i'm about to be put in a padded room. What the fuck is happening to my reality. what kind of weirdo alternate reality have I woken up to, where MTG of all people is being sane and rational... and has been that way for at least a month or three now.
Do I go outside and start flinging my hands at neighbors and screaming fireball, in the hopes this weird new world I have apparently found myself in has magic?
Hell has frozen over.
She’s on the oversight committee and has seen the unredacted Epstein files. She’s in survival mode and that means distancing from orange Shittler right now. Nothing more.

Oh she's off the coke. Good for her
No she's gearing up for a Senate run. Trying to clean up her image so she's more appealing to the voters in her state and not just the backwards assholes that she represents in backwater Georgia.
🄱🄸🄽🄶🄾
Nah.
This bitch doesn't get to do that.
If she starts voting with Democrats every single time, I might consider forgiveness.
She isn't looking for your vote, she's looking for my parent's vote and I'm guessing my mom is already campaigning for her. The midwest thinks things have gotten too nasty. I'll ignore the irony of that being what they voted for time and again, but a softer (yet sterner America First) leader, well that's in tune.
She’s looking at the next election.
Run for prez...
Senate. She wants a Senate seat, and Trump wouldn't endorse her due to the fact she's been constantly wanting to release the Epstein files.
Granted, I don't think she believed that Trump was in the files, until he went ape shit about it.
She worshiped Trump, and still holds all the ridiculous and evil beliefs from before, but now her god has betrayed her.
And I say good.
Trump is likely going down, with or without her, so I say without.
Well according to that email, he's already went down at least once

If anyone actually believes this bullshit, do me a favor and take a good look at yourself in a mirror….
Right there, what is staring back at you is exactly what got the fascist right to where they currently are;
It’s called “Gullibility.” STOP IT.
I think she makes it clear she's only changing her tone because she is worried Trump is inflaming his base to commit violence against her. A classic case of a Republican only being empathetic when they are personally invested in the problem.
Textbook repugnantcans...110% devoted, until it impacts them.

There’s an obligation not to believe it. If the Grinch fucks up your Christmas 10 years in a row, then tells you he’s ready to turn a new leaf, you don’t respond by telling him where you put the tree this year. You instead wonder if this is the newest trick up his sleeve, trickery. When he later does a good deed, you now wonder if he’s playing the long con here. When fellows start to advocate for the Grinch having changed, you wonder if your fellows are either naïve or in on the trick. I don’t know at what point the Grinch deserves trust, but it’s probably proportional in some way to the amount of trust they proved themselves not to deserve.
Also, if you later discover that the Grinch turned a new leaf only after discovering that the police seized his computer, found support for a pedophile in chief, and plans to make it public… then you wonder if the whole thing is just Grinch trying to survive the blowout. Grinch has been very bad.
Remember when MTG screamed at an 18 year old David Hogg that he was funded by George Soros? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Of course this is not a MAGA realizing they are a shitty person. It's just self interest to not get assassinated by some lunatic:
and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger [...] It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

She was okay less than 6 months ago, of her voters getting tased at a town hall, and was laughing at them. She is evil and playing a game right now.
She's trying to save her own skin, nothing more. She just realized the reds are crazy now that she has a target on her back.
Humbly, go fuck yourself.
Reflection and repentance is important, but it doesn’t immediately absolve you of all the shit you did to get to this point, and those you hurt and stepped on to get there.

“I’m szwowyz, pwetty pwease overlook my choices and beliefs thus far and elect me again”
Cool. Honestly and unironically, I hope so, whatever her reasons. Now go prove it.
Deeds, not words.
I'll believe this shit when I see it, which will probably be never.
I'm too old to be fooled by these MAGA morons and their crocodile tears.
So did she apologize for pushing stupid rhetorics, or misleading her followers. Or even admitting she got conned?!?
“The most hurtful thing (Trump) said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong,” Greene said, “and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.”
Congrats, you helped create the toxic cesspool that is modern politics. Go fuck yourself, cunt, you don't get pass now that it's affecting you personally.

But if she does change and becomes a good person, I will accept her as a fellow human being. Until I see change, she is a big troll with spork toes.
Take down Trump as a show of good faith.
Then do Vance. And flush Stephen Miller's head in the toilet while you're at it.

The only kind of apology I want from that woman is for her to resign and never be heard from in public life again.
My most charitable thinking about this is that she s always just playing to win. The way she acted was just that, an act. She did it because she knew it appealed to a particular segment of society that could get her elected. Now there is a sea change she is smart enough to know MAGA is doomed and she had jumped ship early because she thinks it will be more politically advantageous in the long run.
She may be genuinely remorseful if she is good for her, but it doesn't erase the things she had voted for, against, and the things she said that harmed people or incited violence deliberately or accidentally.
That said, she is somewhat uniquely positioned to assist in the deprogramming of MAGA members so, though I don't trust her, the things she is doing and saying today are leading people away from Trump, and that is the most vital mission right now.

“I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”
Huh, I didn't consider that might be a reason for her "change of heart." Was the first time she started saying things that made sense after he was shot?
It's not a change of heart on white christian nationalist policymaking, so her rhetoric means fuck all.

Follow it up with legislation that helps people, challenge impossible.
No no no, you don't get to run from consequences
She's positioning herself for running as Vance's VP in 2028. That's it.
She hasn't had a change of heart, she doesn't warrant us "giving her a chance," she's not "okay for a republican."
NOTHING has changed.
She's an unapologetic white supremacists who is happily employed by the billionaire class.
I give it a week
Would be dope if she actually turns over a new leaf. Im not willing to bet anything on it, but I'm willing to engage in a bit of cautious optimism and see if she lives by those words over the next few years
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand...
Wow they didn't waste any time dragging her, I love it. 😄
Bullshit. I will believe it when I see it.
She'll never have my vote for any number of reasons, but to see anyone as deep in the maga cult as her demonstrate any amount of growth... even if she falls back into old patterns at some point... it says something hopeful about steering this ship away from our current course if even she can gain the self awareness and humility to regret participating in these vitriolic forms of politics. Maybe, then, our parents and neighbors can see enough of the light to realize what this is bringing about, where we're headed, and have the humility to admit that they need to stop and to do better. It's only the smallest glimmer of hope, but it's more than my increasingly cynical ass has had in a minute. Keep working on yourself Marge, but glad to see the baby steps being taken.
Its interesting how many conservatives expect to be completely forgiven after helping enable a nazi regime for years.
