I read her statement. Still crazy as a shithouse rat and a true beliver of terrible and stupid things.
It didn't really explain why she's resigning. Just that the other kids won't stop picking on her and the principal is really mean.
She is absolute scum and is only upset that the rabid MAGA base is treating her the way she asks them to treat opponents. She lasted only a few weeks of the treatment and caved because she's a coward.
My understanding from reading past analysis of things she said is that it's safe to say that she hasn't actually believed everything she's said, but saw it as politically-useful to take those positions.
Which I think is something of a sad statement about the voters in her congressional district (in northwestern Georgia, as I recall). But I don't think that it's necessarily that she personally is uniquely crazy.
EDIT: Yeah, Georgia's 14th district, and it's up in the northwest corner of Georgia. I was originally looking it up because I was commenting on the fact that Georgia has had some of the craziest Republican and Democratic House Representatives that have wound up getting national press time and I was curious how far apart their districts were.

It looks like her predecessor, Tom Graves, also resigned and left the seat vacant for some time, rather than just announcing that he wouldn't run in the next election.
