The New York Times has a story out on the transformation of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) from ardent Trump supporter into a Trump critic.
Matt Vespa at our sister site Townhall notes this particular part:
It also, Greene said, clarified something about herself. Over the past five years, as Trump’s most notorious acolyte in Congress, she had adopted his unrepentant pugilism as her own. “Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong,” she told me in her Capitol Hill office one afternoon in early December. “You just keep pummeling your enemies, no matter what. And as a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that. I agree with Erika Kirk, who did the hardest thing possible and said it out loud.”
Greene’s reaction put her in a distinct minority among influential conservative figures. Almost immediately after Kirk was declared dead, many of her comrades on the right — the billionaire Elon Musk, the Fox News host Jesse Watters, the podcaster Steve Bannon — labeled the killing an act of war by the left and exhorted their audience to think in similar terms.
But Greene — who for years took a back seat to no one when it came to reactionary rhetoric, going so far, before she was in office, as to accuse Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of treasonous conduct and adding that treason was punishable by imprisonment or death — realized that she had suddenly lost all appetite for vengeance. She later told a friend, who confirmed the exchange: “After Charlie died, I realized that I’m part of this toxic culture. I really started looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ.”
Now, I think that if anyone wants to be more like Christ, that's a good thing. And Republicans, of course, can have varying thoughts on policies.
But I see a little bit of a cognitive dissonance there, if that's true (and it's a NY Times story, so we always have to have that proviso in there), when we consider pictures like this of her being cozy with Code Pink.

If Code Pink is praising you, remember that's not a good thing. They were the ones who got close to President Donald Trump in September in an inexcusable breach of security and chanted, "Trump is the Hitler of our time." They are far left; there is nothing MAGA about them.
Then there was this take about her visit with the ladies of The View.
“Those women were the same type of women that have always been my friends. College-educated, affluent suburban women — that’s who I am. So I couldn’t wait to talk to these ladies. I was so tired of the toxic politics.”
Well, that's certainly a take.
It's also a funny thing that the liberal media is now embracing her transformation just because she criticized Trump, when they previously attacked her and made fun of her.
It’s here! It’s finally here! https://t.co/qMFKYCP8iP pic.twitter.com/p39YoxI36F

MTG stood for everything they hated. But as soon as she says something negative about Trump, they'll publish it immediately. pic.twitter.com/HvC4HmSCQo
That's all they care about — being anti-Trump. The liberal media did the same thing with former Republican Wyoming representative Liz Cheney, when they previously painted the Cheneys as evil.
It's a great window, once again, into their primary focus.
