Biden campaign omits Marjorie Taylor Greene’s criticisms in video promoting his presidency.
President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign took a unique approach to respond to one of his most vocal critics, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), by using her own words as an endorsement of his presidential record.
In a new campaign ad released on Tuesday, Mr. Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign cleverly utilized a portion of a speech given by Ms. Greene at a Turning Point Action Conference. The ad presents her acknowledging the Biden administration’s significant investments in infrastructure, education, and healthcare, all funded by taxpayer dollars. The video combines snippets of Ms. Greene’s speech with uplifting music and footage of Mr. Biden in the White House and on the campaign trail.
“Joe Biden had the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs, that is actually finishing what FDR [President Franklin D. Roosevelt] started, that LBJ [President Lindon B.

Mr. Biden further emphasized the purpose of the campaign video by tweeting it out on Tuesday with the caption, “I approve this message.”

“[Mr. Johnson] was appointed as the president after JFK [President John F. Kennedy] was assassinated. Then he was elected. His big socialist programs were the Great Society. The Great Society were big government programs to address education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare, the Office of Economic Opportunity, and big labor and labor unions,” Ms. Greene explained during her speech at the Turning Point Action Conference.
“Now LBJ had the Great Society, but Joe Biden had Build Back Better, and he’s still working on the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs, that is actually what FDR started, that LBJ expanded on, and Joe Biden is attempting to complete: socialism,” Ms. Greene continued. “Meanwhile, we are now $32 trillion in debt, with record high homelessness, 40-year record inflation.
