Arr! Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene be claimin' the White House scallywags be waggin' their tongues at her, all 'cause she be sayin' she won't grant government doubloons 'less they be investigatin' that landlubber, President Biden, fer impeachment! Avast ye, me hearties!
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has received criticism from the White House for her comments stating that she would vote against funding the government if the House of Representatives does not open an impeachment inquiry against President Biden. House Republicans are considering whether to initiate an impeachment inquiry into Biden over allegations of corruption related to his son Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings. Greene has made it clear that she will not support any government spending if the House does not pursue an impeachment inquiry. She took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to respond to the White House's criticism, saying that she is demanding an impeachment inquiry before she will vote to fund the government. Greene believes that there is evidence that the White House has been trying to hide, and she is calling for a further investigation. The White House referred to Greene as part of the "hardcore fringe" of the Republican Party and expressed concern about the negative impact a government shutdown would have on the economy and disaster preparedness. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has indicated that he would move forward with an impeachment inquiry if there is a formal House vote, which may happen this month. The deadline to fund the government is September 30, and McCarthy is expected to propose a short-term measure to avoid a shutdown while negotiations for a long-term budget continue.
