TMZ reports:
Marjorie Taylor Greene is not being re-elected at home … because her husband just pulled the plug on their marriage.
MTG’s husband, Perry Greene, beelined it to court Tuesday and filed to divorce the Congresswoman from Georgia after 27 years of marriage … according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.
Marjorie and Perry tied the knot back in August 1995 when she was still in college at the University of Georgia … and they had 3 children together, who are now all over the age of 18.
Jezebel reports:
The Georgia congresswoman, who is up for re-election this year, said the following in a statement: “Marriage is a wonderful thing and I’m a firm believer in it. Our society is formed by a husband and wife creating a family to nurture and protect. Together, Perry and I formed our family and raised three great kids. He gave me the best job title you can ever earn: Mom.”
In true MTG fashion, she managed to add a tiny sprinkle of homophobia into her divorce announcement. Still, this might be the mildest thing Greene has ever managed to say.
You’re much more likely to catch her accusing Jewish people of utilizing space lasers, kicking gun control advocates, “accidentally” attending White Nationalist conferences, and in general being a bigoted and racist fearmonger.
Please give Marjorie Taylor Greene, who helped plan the January 6th attack, menaced AOC outside of her office, and harassed school shooting survivors, respect and privacy during this difficult time.

And yes, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s marriage and divorce is news, because she attacks other people’s marriages, claiming hers as a model, a “man and a woman,” while any other kind is illegitimate.
But she is a failure. “Irretrievably broken.”
