By Matt Underwood Crockett on Greene’s resignation: ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ Well, if there’s one thing that seems to be a common sentiment, it’s a general disbelief, maybe even amusement, at the situation. It’s almost as if the sheer audacity of it all has left a lot of people shaking their heads and wondering, “Really? Now?” The comments lean towards a perspective that sees this as a calculated move, not a genuine change of heart or even a difficult decision.
The timing is the first thing that really jumps out. People are pointing out that she’s leaving right around the time her pension kicks in, which has fueled a lot of speculation. The idea is that she secured her financial future and is now bailing out when things get tough. It’s portrayed as a strategic retreat, a way to escape the heat while still getting all the benefits. The comments make it seem like this wasn’t some sudden, principled stand, but a calculated exit strategy. The consensus seems to be that it’s all about self-preservation and personal gain.
The financial aspect is a recurring theme, too. The claims of insider trading and amassing wealth during her time in office are mentioned, with people calling her a “snake” and “crook.” The core of the criticism seems to be that she used her position for personal enrichment, and now, with the pressure mounting, she’s leaving the scene. The comments paint a picture of someone who exploited the system for their benefit and doesn’t want to deal with the consequences.
It is clear that the lack of any perceived principle is another major concern. The argument is that her career has been built on political theater, fake outrage, and keeping her supporters engaged. This resignation is seen as consistent with that pattern, with no real convictions at play. The prevailing opinion is that she never stood for anything other than her own personal advancement.
The general distaste is unmistakable. The tone ranges from outright scorn to sarcastic remarks about her physical appearance and personal choices. It’s a sentiment of wanting her gone, and the comments are filled with expressions of hope that we’ve seen the last of her. The animosity shows just how deeply personal the feelings towards her are.
The comparison to others in the political landscape is also noteworthy. There are mentions of Trump, Pence, and other political figures, with a lot of them saying she has acted similarly or they feel she belongs in that cohort. This suggests a broader dissatisfaction with the political establishment, with her resignation simply being seen as another example of self-serving behavior.
The idea that she’s going to come back is floated as well. Some people seem to believe that this isn’t the end of her involvement in politics, but a strategic move that sets the stage for a future return. It’s suggested that she’s simply regrouping and waiting for a more opportune moment to re-enter the arena. This reinforces the idea that it’s all part of a larger, long-term plan.
The lack of sympathy for her is also notable. The fact that the comments show little concern for her well-being or her reasons for resigning speaks volumes. There is zero acknowledgment of her concerns. It’s all about personal judgment.
And, of course, the pension is central to the conversation. The fact that it vests right before she leaves is not seen as a coincidence. It is seen as the central event of her tenure.
So, in the end, it really does seem like the phrase “You’ve got to be kidding me” perfectly encapsulates the overall feeling. It’s a mix of disbelief, disgust, and a sense of having been played, all wrapped up in a package of schadenfreude. There is no doubt that her resignation has been met with a healthy dose of cynicism.
