Why would Marjorie Taylor Greene back the bipartisan budget deal? Because she believes an impeachment vote against "someone" might soon follow.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's drive to impeach several members of the government if going to backfire on GOP, Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent predicted Tuesday.Greene last month introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden and four executive branch appointees including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.The far-right Republican from Georgia last week, while addressing the debt ceiling debate, suggested during an exchange with reporters that Mayorkas is the...
You and I know that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is about as bad as Republicans can get. There might be dumber (Reps. Paul Gosar and Lauren Boebert are strong contenders), but few can garner the kind of coverage “MTG” gets with her outlandish and patently absurd takes. But in this MAGA-infused modern Republican Party, even she isn’t pure enough for the true believers. Greene has generally been a reliable conservative vote, but in recent months, for some unknown reason, she has...
Two days after jubilantly announcing that security camera footage from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol would soon be released, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has apparently had a change of heart.In a tweet Wednesday, Greene said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca.) had provided conservative commentators John Solomon and Julie Kelly, along with an unnamed third outlet, “unfettered” access to the tapes. “This is the transparency the American people deserve and I look forward to their...
Now that House Republicans have voted away most of their leverage against President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats in the debt ceiling deal that passed late Wednesday, they don’t have a whole lot to do in the remaining year-and-a-half of this session. They released the debt ceiling hostage until 2025, and set themselves up for maximum political pain if they decide to shut down the government. There’s not much real damage left for them to do on the legislative front, so they can get back to the...
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday teased the release of security camera footage from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to several news agencies.The right--wing congresswoman in a tweet confirmed that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca.) had provided conservative commentators John Solomon and Julie Kelly, along with an unnamed third outlet, “unfettered” access to the tapes.“I’m excited to share the good news that, just as I promised, the J6 tapes are being released!” Greene tweeted....
During a recent town hall appearance, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene answered questions, written on scraps of paper by audience members, that she picked out of a fish bowl on stage. One question was whether she would “lead the charge in [sic] reapplying the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933?” Seems simple enough. But Greene’s response defied even the lowest expectations: “I was born in 1974 so I’m not familiar with that. But I can have my staff look into it.” Gazpacho police anyone? The Glass-Steagall...
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said on Tuesday that migrants fleeing climate change were unsafe in the United States due to many natural disasters. At a House Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee hearing, Greene complained to Department of Homeland Security official Blas Nuñez-Neto. "Right here, it says that you say the reason why people are coming to America today is because of violence, food insecurity, severe poverty, corruption, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic,"...
A constituent confronted Marjorie Taylor Greene and compared her to Emmett Till’s accuser—and the Georgia representative responded by doubling down on racist comments about a Black colleague.During a town hall on Friday, a Black woman stood and said Greene’s claim that she felt “threatened” by Representative Jamaal Bowman was just as “reckless” as Carolyn Donham’s accusation against Till. Donham, who died in April, accused Black teenager Till of whistling at her and accosting her in 1955. Donham...
Her followers didn't think it was a coincidence that she posted this on June 1.

The bill would also allow a minor on whom gender-affirming care is performed to bring a civil...
