Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will resign from Congress effective Jan. 5 due to her frustration with Washington politics that she said change nothing.

Greene announced her pending resignation in a social media post early Friday evening.

"I've always represented the common American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives, which is why I've always been despised in Washington, D.C., and never fit in," Greene said in a four-page statement.

She called the capital a "political industrial complex" in which Republicans and Democrats compete to convince voters to hate the other party more, "and the results are the same."
