Congress’s Week of Crazy, Part Two: GOP Has Its Own Drama
In Part One of “Congress’ Week of Crazy,” we laid out the wild happenings last week on the Democrat side of the aisle, from a congresswoman indicted for stealing $5 million to a congresswoman who was texting with Jeffrey Epstein like they were teenagers to six Democrats who skated up to the edge of sedition. But it wasn’t just Democrats who were mischief-plotters and tabloid fodder. Republicans had plenty of their own drama.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: Sudden Exit Stage Left
That peach of a Georgia representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene stunned the political world Friday night by announcing she was quitting Congress, effective Jan. 5, 2026. Her decision came days after President Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of the controversial congresswoman in the wake of a series of erratic moves challenging the president, including over the Epstein files. Greene’s also recently been sucking up to hostile media, including the ladies of “The View.”

In her resignation letter Greene compared herself to a “battered wife” and complained that she felt unwelcomed in Washington and disliked by both sides of the political aisle. As President Harry Truman famously said, “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” In the case of the Georgia representative, I suppose it would be “dawg.”
Adding to the campy flavor of it all: Trump responded to the news by saying Greene “went bad” and her resignation was “good for the country.” He then spent the weekend insisting Greene is a “nice person.”
Now the question remains: Does Greene become a John Bolton who turns and makes a mint as an anti-Trump commentator? (Which will now mostly go to lawyers.) Or is she an Elon Musk: an emotional, colorful, controversial figure who soon enough finds herself back in the Trump camp?
In the biz, they call this a cliffhanger.
Rep. Cory Mills: Ethically Challenged
Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., is facing an investigation by the House Ethics Committee. Why? Apparently to avoid a censure vote, The Daily Signal’s Jacob Adams reported. Rep. Kat Cammack, also of Florida, colorfully complained House leadership tabled a censure vote on Del. Stacey Plaskett to protect Mills from a censure vote. “This backroom deal s— is swampy, wrong and always deserves to be called out.”According to a statement from the Ethics Committee, their investigation into Mills will look into:
“allegations that [Mills] may have: (1) failed to properly disclose required information on statements required to be filed with the House; (2) violated campaign finance laws and regulations in connection with his 2022 and 2024 election campaigns; (3) improperly solicited and/or received gifts, including in connection with privately sponsored officially-connected travel; (4) received special favors by virtue of his position; (5) engaged in misconduct with respect to allegations of sexual misconduct and/or dating violence; and/or (6) misused congressional resources or status.”
Wait. “Sexual misconduct and/or dating violence”? How’s that get ranked #5? Jimmy Hoffa wasn’t buried like that little tidbit.
Mills denies any wrongdoing.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw: What Happened in Mexico Didn’t Stay in Mexico
Also denying wrongdoing: Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw. Crenshaw is denying a report by Punchbowl News that House Republicans revoked his traveling privileges for three-months after an “alcohol-related incident” during an official trip to Mexico. No, he did not trash a hotel room or run naked through the streets. Or even butcher “Yellow Rose of Texas” at a Tijuana karaoke bar. Crenshaw says the incident was “literally me doing a toast with the Mexican generals.” According to the story, a Mexican official made a “crude joke” that made a woman present uncomfortable. Crenshaw then toasted the comment.
Crenshaw insists he wasn’t banned from travel, saying a planned trip was nixed by the government shutdown.
Why We Can’t Mock
From booze to bye-byes, criminal busts to buddying up with Jeffrey Epstein, it was a week for the books on Capitol Hill.
It’s tempting to mock, but millions of us are about to head off to see family for Thanksgiving. Though it is a good bet our families won’t be stealing $5 million bucks or texting pedophiles, can we honestly say we won’t have our own dramas, downfalls, and delicious gossip? Overindulgence? A family mutiny? Battles over relationships with the wrong people? I didn’t think so.
May your Thanksgiving be as blessed as Nancy Pelosi’s bank account.
