The White House Attacks Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene
The White House launched a scathing attack on Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after she suggested that federal financing could be halted if Congress fails to initiate an impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden.
During a town hall meeting on Thursday, Greene (R-Ga.) made it clear that she would withhold her vote for government financing until an impeachment investigation into Joe Biden is completed.
Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, strongly criticized Greene’s statement.
“The last thing the American people deserve is for extreme House members to trigger a government shutdown that hurts our economy, undermines our disaster preparedness, and forces our troops to work without guaranteed pay,” he said. “The House Republicans responsible for keeping the government open already made a promise to the American public about government funding, and it would be a shame for them to break their word and fail the country because they caved to the hardcore fringe of their party in prioritizing a baseless impeachment stunt over high stakes needs Americans care about deeply – like fighting fentanyl trafficking, protecting our national security, and funding [the Federal Emergency Management Agency].”
Greene has also expressed her refusal to vote for government funding unless Congress defunds “the Biden regime’s weaponized government,” including funding for special counsel Jack Smith, who is leading two criminal investigations against 45th President Donald Trump.
She has also stated that she will not support financing resolutions that maintain COVID-19 vaccine mandates or increase aid to Ukraine, arguing that the country needs to defend itself against Russia.
Other Republicans have also threatened to vote against government funding. When the House reconvenes after Labor Day, Kevin McCarthy has indicated his intention to launch an impeachment inquiry.
McCarthy referred to the impeachment as a “natural step forward” from ongoing investigations and emphasized the consequences of a government shutdown, stating, “If we shut down, all the government shuts down – investigation and everything else.”
