Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to send a coded message renouncing QAnon in her shock resignation statement.
While Greene had previously given her support to the wild theories espoused by QAnon, she did back-pedal when she got to Congress in 2021.
On Friday, part of her lengthy statement calling it quits used some QAnon code against some of its ardent believers.
‘If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,’ she said.
‘There is no ‘plan to save the world’ or insane 4D chess game being played.’
A 2018 film called ‘Q: The Plan to Save The World’ was one of QAnon’s most influential recruitment videos.
Many also see the notion of ‘4D chess’ as a way of explaining the method to Donald Trump’s unconventional ways.
She continued: ‘When the common American people finally realize and understand that the Political Industrial Complex of both parties is ripping this country apart, that not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington’s machine from gradually destroying our country, and instead the reality is that they, common Americans, The People, possess the real power over Washington, then I’ll be here by their side to rebuild it.’

‘Until then I’m going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path ahead.’
Greene had expressed support for QAnon conspiracy theories, which focus on the debunked belief that top Democrats are involved in child sex trafficking, Satan worship and cannibalism. She was even photographed with the infamous ‘QAnon Shaman.’
In 2020, Facebook videos surfaced showing she’d expressed racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim views.
Top Republicans denounced her at the time, hoping to block her from capturing the GOP nomination for her reliably red congressional district in northwest Georgia.
The opposition faded, however, when Greene won the primary and was essentially guaranteed a seat in Congress. By the time she was sworn into office, Greene had ridden with President Donald Trump on Air Force One during the final days of his first term.
Greene sought to distance herself from the conspiracy theory when she got to Congress telling lawmakers she ‘never once said during my entire campaign ‘QAnon” and that she stopped following it in 2018.
She claimed she had ‘regret’ over her association with QAnon because it had led to the calls for her removal from House committees.
She said she ‘stumbled’ across it in 2017 and then started posting things about it online.

‘I posted about it on Facebook. I read about it, I talked about it, I asked questions about it.
‘The problem with that is, though, is I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true, and I would ask questions about them and talk about them, and that is absolutely what I regret,’ she said.
‘Because if it weren’t for the Facebook posts and comments that I liked in 2018, I wouldn’t be standing here today, and you couldn’t point a finger and accuse me of anything wrong.’
She said she stopped believing in QAnon when she found out it was spreading ‘misinformation.’
‘Later in 2018 when I started finding misinformation, lies, things that were not true in these QAnon posts, I stopped believing it,’ Greene said.
Greene’s new statement appearing to disavow QAnon comes as part of a 10-minute video announcing her resignation from Congress.
The Georgia lawmaker cited a growing disgust with the political establishment in Washington and her fight for the release of the so-called Epstein files which formed the brunt of her feud with Trump.
She raged against the ‘political industrial complex’ which she claimed uses Americans as ‘pawns in an endless game of division’.

Greene said that it would be unfair for her ‘sweet little district’ to ‘endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for’ and even added that ‘Republicans will likely lose the midterms‘.
Greene went on to claim she has ‘always been despised in Washington, DC, and just never fit in’.
The Republican also said that she was leaving to spend more time with her family amid constant death threats she claimed she received in the wake of her clash with with the president. She said her last day would be January 5, 2026.
In his first response to the news, Trump had no interest in mending fences with Greene in his first words following her resignation.
‘I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,’ he said.
Trump also said Greene had not reached out or told him of her decision before she made the announcement.
‘Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know but I think it’s great. I think she should be happy,’ Trump said.
He said he had no plans to speak with Greene but wishes her well.
Greene expressed profound frustration with her own party’s inability to get anything done despite controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress in 2025.
‘Almost one year into our majority, the legislature has been mostly sidelined, we endured an eight week shutdown wrongly resulting in the House not working for the entire time, and we are entering campaign season which means all courage leaves and only safe campaign re-election mode is turned on,’ she said.
At 51, Greene now faces a potential end to her political career but also a chance to restart or go into media, or even run for higher office in 2026 or 2028.
