FIRST ON FOX: A far-right Republican congresswoman suggested the U.S. go through a "national divorce" on Presidents Day.
"We need a national divorce," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., tweeted on Monday.

"We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government," Greene tweeted, going on to claim that everyone she talks to "says this."
"From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done," Greene wrote.
The Georgia firebrand’s comments are par for the course for Greene, whose previous statements have landed her in hot water among Democrats and even GOP leadership.
Greene has said she regrets her past QAnon content posts, which included content about "lasers or blue beams of light" under the control of a Jewish family leading a left-wing cabal.
There are many possibilities why Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene backed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, but the most glaring one was her relatively uneventful first term as a congresswoman after being kicked off her House committees by Democrats for her online conspiracy posts from before her 2020 campaign.

Greene was previously a harsh critic of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and made her name as an anti-establishment candidate.
McCarthy won her over before his contentious speakership fight kicked off, but the move did not endear Greene to her firebrand colleagues who opposed the now-speaker’s gavel candidacy.
