    If one takes her justification at face value, it seems odd. Even if she wanted to avoid the primary, she could simply announce that she’s not running in the next election. She didn’t need to resign to do that.

      Let’s hope one day we’ll find out the truth, because there’s definitely more going on here, and it feels dark.

      Nope, but she might if the offer in the table with Trump was “resign now so we can have a special election and you don’t have a voice, or we’ll destroy you so hard that you’ll never even win an election for town cryer of Bumfuck, Arizona”

      Or maybe whoever pressured MTG actually threatened physical damage like “you know Marge, you have seemed more and more erratic lately, even for a Jewish space laser weirdo. You better resign now so you don’t risk committing suicide”
