“With Democrat governors threatening the upcoming Trump administration’s mandate by the American people to secure our borders and deport illegal invaders, gut and cut the federal government of corruption, waste, and stifling regulations in order to reduce inflation and build an America first economy, and to stop the mentally ill and predatorial trans agenda against our kids and women’s sports, I’m still in favor of a national divorce if need be,” Greene stated in a post on X. @mtgreenee / X
“If Democrat governors plan to commit treason against our President and the majority of Americans then let them destroy their own states. No one will want to live there,” Greene continued. Megan Smith-USA TODAY

This is not the first time Greene has called for a national divorce. She first made the proposal in February last year. When questioned by Fox News' Sean Hannity, Greene claimed that her vision for a national divorce does not involve violence but rather a separation of people with differing ideologies.

"We can choose in how we allow people to vote in our states," she said. "If Democrat voters choose to flee these blue states... maybe you don't get to vote for five years." Gage Skidmore / Wikimedia
