In the aftermath of the shocking assassination of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has once again advocated for a “peaceful national divorce,” arguing that deep ideological divisions have made the United States unsafe for its citizens.
Greene’s statement, posted on X has ignited widespread discussion, drawing both support from conservative circles and sharp criticism from across the political spectrum.
Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA and a key figure in conservative youth activism, was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson following a brief manhunt, charging him with the killing.
The FBI has not yet released a definitive motive, but the incident has fueled intense rhetoric from Republican leaders, including President Donald Trump, who attributed political violence exclusively to “the left.”
Kirk’s death has been described as a potential catalyst for increased political polarization.
Analysts warn that such events could embolden further violence, highlighting the deepening rifts in American society.
In response, Greene framed the tragedy as evidence of irreconcilable differences, stating in her X post: “They assassinated our nice guy who actually talked to them peacefully debating ideas.
Then millions on the left celebrated and made clear they want all of us dead.”
Greene’s Full Statement and Rationale
In her lengthy post on September 15, 2025, Greene elaborated: “There is nothing left to talk about with the left. They hate us… To be honest, I want a peaceful national divorce.
Our country is too far gone and too far divided, and it’s no longer safe for any of us.”
She portrayed Kirk’s death as a “martyrdom” sparking a “spiritual revival building the kingdom for Christ,” while criticizing both Democrats and Republicans for failing to address what she calls “evil.”
Greene also took aim at ongoing congressional budget negotiations, lamenting the use of a continuing resolution that she claims funds “transgender policies” instead of conservative priorities.
This is not the first time Greene has invoked the idea of a national divorce.
She has repeatedly floated the concept since at least 2021, often in response to perceived overreach by the federal government or cultural clashes.
In February 2023, she tweeted: “We need a national divorce.
We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government.”
That proposal was widely denounced by bipartisan figures at the time, with critics labeling it as divisive and unconstitutional.
Historical Echoes and Legal Implications
The notion of a “national divorce” echoes debates from the Civil War era, when secession led to conflict.
Historians note that while figures like Abraham Lincoln opposed such divisions, modern proposals like Greene’s suggest a legal separation rather than outright war.
In a 2023 thread, Greene clarified: “National divorce is not a civil war but a legal agreement to separate our ideological and political disagreements by states while maintaining our legal union.”
Experts argue that implementing such a split would be fraught with challenges, including interstate trade, military defense, and economic disparities.
Blue states, often economic powerhouses, might resist subsidizing red states through federal programs, while issues like border security and migration would require new frameworks.
Greene has suggested reducing federal power and allowing states greater autonomy on policies like voting, education, and social issues.
Reactions from Both Sides
Greene’s latest call has elicited a range of responses.
Supporters in conservative circles agree with her assessment of division.
One X user replied: “It’s either civil war or secession.
We can’t coexist with these domestic terrorists.”
Another echoed historical sentiments: “I pressed for this 28 years ago… There’s no fixing our disunity.”
Critics, however, dismiss the idea as impractical and inflammatory.
A respondent argued: “You’re back on your ‘national divorce’ shit again which is incoherent nonsense at best, and seditious at worst.”
Others questioned its feasibility: “Peaceful national divorce? Is that even possible? How?”
Democratic voices, including CNN’s Abby Phillip in past coverage, have called similar proposals “crazy,” emphasizing unity over division.
Even within the GOP, reactions are mixed.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has not commented on the recent post, but past Republican leaders have distanced themselves from Greene’s rhetoric.
Some analysts suggest the proposal could appeal to a base frustrated with federal gridlock, as evidenced by polls showing support for state autonomy cutting across demographics.
Broader Implications for American Politics
Greene’s comments come amid heightened tensions following Kirk’s assassination, with Trump and allies amplifying claims of left-wing violence.
However, investigations into Robinson’s background reveal ties to far-right figures like Nick Fuentes, complicating narratives of partisan blame.
Critics argue that rhetoric like Greene’s risks escalating violence rather than resolving conflicts.
As the nation grapples with polarization, proposals like a national divorce underscore the challenges facing U.S. democracy.
Whether this remains fringe discourse or gains momentum could shape the 2026 midterms and beyond.
For now, Greene insists: “Government is not the answer, God is,” urging a turn to faith amid political strife.
