Biden impeachment inquiry: MTG disputes Gaetz’s assertion of pressuring McCarthy for ‘weeks’.

Rep. Marjorie⁢ Taylor Greene Corrects Rep. ‍Matt Gaetz on Impeachment Inquiry

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) offered a “correction” to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) over ⁤his claim that⁤ he pushed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to ‌open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe ⁢Biden.

Gaetz, in a​ post on X, formerly known as‌ Twitter, said he pushed McCarthy “for weeks” to open​ the inquiry and called out Fox & ​Friends co-host Brian ⁣Kilmeade ​for saying the Florida congressman was “speaking into the wind.”

MCCARTHY ANNOUNCES IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY INTO ⁣PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

Greene responded to ​Gaetz on X by reminding him of the ⁣articles of impeachment she filed against Biden and claimed he only​ signed onto the articles surrounding border security ​after she‌ dragged him “kicking and screaming.”

“Correction my friend. I‍ introduced‍ articles of impeachment against Joe Biden for his corrupt business dealings in Ukraine & China while he was Vice President on⁢ his very‌ first day ‍in⁣ office. You wouldn’t cosponsor those and I had to drag⁣ you kicking and screaming‍ to get you to cosponsor my articles on the border,” Greene said.

“Who’s really been making the push?”⁣ she concluded.

Greene introduced articles of impeachment against Biden, ​including one based on the border crisis‌ that Gaetz ⁢co-sponsored. The Georgia congresswoman has been a vocal proponent of impeachment but has also been ⁣an ⁣ally to McCarthy⁢ and has endorsed⁤ his ⁢view‌ of opening an inquiry before voting on impeachment of the president.

“This is what leadership looks like and it’s the right thing ⁤to do.​ The American people ‌deserve to know the truth and it’s our ⁤duty to uproot corruption wherever this investigation may lead,” Greene said after McCarthy announced⁤ the inquiry.

Gaetz has been a critic of McCarthy and has frequently threatened to ⁢oust the House speaker if his demands are not met. He was one of several Republicans who‍ refused to ​vote for McCarthy during the lengthy speaker election ​in ⁣January.

McCarthy, in announcing the inquiry, said it was the “logical next⁤ step” in the House GOP’s investigation into alleged⁤ corruption ‍within the Biden family.

“House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s actions,” McCarthy said. “Taken together, these allegations ⁣paint a picture‌ of corruption.”
