Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed her frustration to her House Republican colleagues on Thursday, calling for action regarding the impeachment of President Joe Biden and measures to protect former President Donald Trump from potential politically motivated prosecutions.
At a town hall-style event in her Floyd County, Ga., district on Thursday evening, the GOP congresswoman declared that she would not support government funding unless House Republican leaders took action to file articles of impeachment against Biden and provided further protection for Trump from federal prosecutions.
“I’ve already decided I will not vote to fund the government unless we have passed an impeachment inquiry on Joe Biden,” Taylor Greene told the audience, to applause.
“I will not fund the government because I will not fund the weaponized part of the government. I’m not going to continue to fund the Biden regime’s weaponized government. So there should be no funding for Jack Smith. Special Counsel,” she said. “We had to fire David Weiss, who is protecting Hunter Biden on his special counsel. And we have to rein in the FBI. I will not vote for money to go towards those things.
“I will not vote for a continuing resolution that funds mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and COVID. Because that is over. Joe Biden even declared that is over,” she added.
“And lastly, my red line in the sand has always been, I will not vote to fund a war in Ukraine. We have to have peace,” she said. “So I will be happy to work with all of my colleagues. I will work with the Speaker of the House. I will work with everyone, but I will not fund those things. And I thought it was most important for me to tell you all first because I work for you. And that’s that’s what we have to do.”
In late July, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy indicated that the GOP-controlled House was preparing to initiate an impeachment inquiry against President Biden.
This followed the emergence of multiple whistleblowers providing a range of evidence to several House committees suggesting the president and his son were involved in corrupt practices, including alleged bribery by a foreign entity in the amount of millions of dollars.
Following the release of an FBI-generated FD-1023 form by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) last week, a statement was made indicating that a human confidential source had informed the FBI about Mykola Zlochevsky, co-founder and CEO of Burisma.
This source alleged that Zlochevsky was pressured by then-Vice President Biden and his son to pay millions of dollars in bribes in order for them to assist Ukraine in removing a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.
“They bribed the Bidens. Okay, this was given to the FBI when Bill Barr finally found out about it, he sent it to his office in Philadelphia. They actually said that this was very credible,” McCarthy told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
“The FBI kept this from the IRS individuals for them ever to see it. So not only do they claim that they were bribed, we now find information that 16 out of 17 payments from Romania were provided to the Biden shell companies while he was vice president,” he added.
“When President Biden was running for office, he told the American public that he’s never talked about business. He said his family has never received a dollar from China, which we now prove is not true. We now have some of the most credible whistleblowers. These 10-year IRS agents who have come forward said that the Biden family has been treated differently,” he continued, noting the most recent whistleblowers were from the federal tax collection agency and testified that they were barred by federal prosecutors from fully investigating both Bidens.
“That what Weiss has told us is different than what Garland and Weiss has told the public,” he continued, referencing David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, and Attorney General Merrick Garland, both of whom have said there was no federal prosecutorial interference.
I am so ashamed of our “leaders”. Our founding fathers must be so upset with the corruption in our government!
I agree with you 100%. I am so disgusted with all these CORRUPT Politicians.
The Adams boys are in a tizzy, Sam cussing like dunk sailor, John spluttering in fury. Ben Franklin shaking his head in dismay, saying “I WARNED you!”, all of them wondering what on Earth happened to American spirit. Even de Toqueville, saying “I told you what made America great! Why weren’t you listening???” Part of the problem is we allowed too many to become citizens while holding ideologies in opposition to, and utterly incompatible with, our Constitution. Our Founders would never have done that.
Glad to see my rep (even though she is a woman) has the cajónes to go toe-to-toe with her reluctant colleges. Unfortunately, many on the republican side may be ducking some of the same issues of “fringe benefits” (Mitch McConnell on the senate side is but one example, and I do not doubt there are others).
Still, it is time for the rest of the republican party to grow some courage as well. This tyrant, and those around him, have crossed the Rubicon and we have no choice but to respond in kind for the survival of the republic.
It will not be pretty…but will be even worse if we do not act.
I guess you missed her left turn before the last election…
I agree Marjorie. Its getting to the point where I will vote for a 3rd party candidate because our guys don’t seem to be able to determine who the bad guys are. So, if we are so very far down the Marxist path already why vote these guys back in to just have them go along to get along. NOT!
Do you understand that bunch filling Congress and the WH are an uniparty, with very few exceptions? they have been since 1871, when they QUIT working for we, the people, and formed a private corporation. That our elections, at the Federal level mean anything is an ILLUSION. MTG works for that corporation too, not you or your fellow Georgians. Even the Senate was severed from the States’ control by the 17th A, with 3/4 of the States’ own foolish agreement in 1913. Time to wake up and realize our homeland was stolen from us before our parents, or grandparents, in most cases, were even born!
1 world for Ms Green: CONSEQUENCES!
Every action produces them, not all of which are desirable or beneficial, many are downright disastrous. Stop acting like the leftist you turned into and THINK this through before you push it!
Consequence: Kamala ! ! ! !
MLove Greene she tells it like it is. Impeach the crook Biden. He should do life for selling out America. There is a ton of evidence more than a innocent phone call like they did to Trump. Stop the talk and do the walk. Our Country is at stake
MLove Greene she tells it like it is. Impeach the crook Biden. The GOP are talk but no action
MLove Greene she tells it like it is. Impeach the crook.
Please explain to me how you are going to get 67 votes to convict.
Lots of snakes around now; beware people!
They cannot change the paradigm so this proves that many of our elected officials and other government employees with authority have been “bastardising” our Constitution and Bill of Rights or in essence “what it means to be an American!”
This is why we now have many ingrate foreigners in our country some of them legal and many “illegal invaders” that think they can make this Land whatever they want it to be; so that is not taking an “oath of allegiance” to be “an American” who will uphold the US Constitution; which any of my ancestors had done when they came here and they lived up to that obligation always, even when it came to serving in the military in peacetime and war!
Now just a minute example of this destruction from within we see recently in the news how some Muslim woman who was copping an attitude telling off an employee in a grocery store about her American Flag Lapel Pin; basically showing total arrogance, lack of appreciation and blatant disrespect to our Nation, the employee, along with “We the People!”
Angry Muslim Woman Taught IMPORTANT Lesson In Grocery Store
• by Rayne • August 29, 2023
“It is heartbreaking to see immigrants coming to our great nation and not appreciating the freedoms and opportunities that we provide. What is even worse, some immigrants come here and disrespect the country that welcomed them in such a gracious way. This was recently seen in a grocery store in California when an Iraqi woman, wearing a burka, confronted a cashier about their American flag lapel pin.
The cashier proudly stated that they would always wear it; however, this did not seem to satisfy the immigrant woman as she proceeded to ask when the U.S. would stop bombing her countrymen. Fortunately, there was an American gentleman standing behind this soldier who had heard enough of her complaints and put his arm around the soldier’s shoulders while addressing her with a calm yet firm voice: “Lady… hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen.” He then offered to buy her ticket back to Iraq so she could fix what she had been avoiding by being here in our great nation instead. This story truly emphasizes how grateful we should all be for living in such an incredible place where people are willing to fight for our freedom without thinking twice about it – whether it’s serving on military duty or simply standing up for what’s right – Americans do not shy away from patriotism! That being said, we must remember that if you are lucky enough to live here you must show respect towards your host nation – after all, America isn’t perfect but it sure does allow us many rights which aren’t allowed elsewhere! We should never forget those who sacrificed their lives so others could enjoy these freedoms; therefore, let us be thankful for everything America has given us every day!” beardsofliberty
“While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.” –George Washington

First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
Feb. 28, 1797, Letter to clergyman Jedidiah Morse
“To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness, which mankind now enjoys…Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government – and all blessings which flow from them – must fall with them.” –Jedidiah Morse
In a sermon delivered by Morse on April 25, 1799, he described the depth to which Christianity and our American government are intertwined. He explained that we face two kinds of dangers: those that our religion and those that affect our government. They are so closely allied that they cannot, with propriety, be separated, he said. beliefnet
“Is it not that in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? – that it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? – that it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?” –John Quincy Adams

“In my opinion, the present constitution is the standard to which we are to cling…. Let an association be formed to be denominated ‘The Christian Constitutional Society,’ its object to be first: The support of the Christian religion. Second: The support of the United States.”

John Adams
Second President of the US
“The experiment is made, and has completely succeeded: it can no longer be called in question, whether authority in magistrates, and obedience of citizens, can be grounded on reason, morality, and the Christian religion, without the monkery of priests, or the knavery of politicians.”
1788, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America”
In closing, I can honestly say by my faith in God and in what He produced and blessed this Nation with; through and by Our Forefathers, shall overcome all the evil that is throughout this country working it’s malicious and destructive activity in all walks of life; that evil will be revealed and chastised by God Almighty working miracles through His elect!
But there might be hell to pay in the process because too much water was allowed over the dam already and a flood is coming one way or another!
