'No, She Hasn't': Auchincloss Rejects Claim Marjorie Taylor Greene Became an Ally

Rep. Jake Auchincloss rejected the idea that Marjorie Taylor Greene had become an ally to Democrats, calling her 'an outrage entrepreneur.' Greene announced she will resign from the House effective Jan. 5, 2026, saying she wants to avoid a 'hateful primary' she blames on Donald Trump and has recently clashed with him over the Epstein files and H‑1B visas. Auchincloss argued that brief gestures do not amount to genuine alignment and warned that reactions to Greene reflect troubling trends in public discourse.

Auchincloss Rejects Notion That Greene Softened Her Stance

Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) strongly rejected suggestions that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had recently become 'an ally on some issues' with Democrats after announcing she will resign from the House effective Jan. 5, 2026.

Greene said she was stepping down to avoid what she described as a 'hateful primary' she blames on former President Donald Trump. Though long aligned with Trump, Greene has publicly clashed with him in recent weeks over calls for the release of the Epstein files and disputes over H‑1B visa policy.

I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.

Shortly after Greene's announcement, Auchincloss appeared on the news program AC360 with guest host John King. King suggested that, despite earlier expectations that Democrats might celebrate Greene's departure, her recent actions made her seem "kind of an ally on some issues."

Auchincloss dismissed that claim outright. "No, John, she hasn't," he said with a laugh. When pressed about Greene's stance on the Epstein documents, Auchincloss described her as 'an outrage entrepreneur' who pursues whatever issue is most attention-grabbing at the moment. He also said commentator David Axelrod's label of Greene as 'a formidable character in public life' reflects more on the degraded state of public discourse than on any meaningful political alignment.

The exchange underscores how Greene's departure is being debated across the political spectrum: some focus on the political mechanics of her resignation, others on what her recent positions reveal about partisan dynamics and public life.
