Don't be fooled by Marjorie Taylor Greene's redemption act

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is quietly attempting something ambitious: a reinvention for a post-Trump political landscape, one that may also position her for a presidential run in 2028.

After clashing with the president and announcing her exit from Congress, the Republican representative from Georgia has begun shedding her MAGA maximalism in favor of a softer, ostensibly principled posture ‒ anti-war, anti-interventionist and openly skeptical of foreign entanglements.

The rebrand hasn’t gone unnoticed. Following her unexpectedly civil November appearance on "The View," there have even been discussions about a future panel role ‒ an idea that would have sounded absurd a year ago, but one that captures the seriousness of her bid for mainstream relevance beyond the Trump era.

Most revealing was her recent sit-down with The New York Times, where Greene portrayed herself as almost tragically naive, claiming she genuinely believed President Donald Trump was something other than what years of conduct made plain.

Please don't ruin it with this woman. If she is sincere about her rebranding, okay. She can have some role, but not President!
