She has been stripped of her committee assignments by vengeful Democrats, but that hasn’t stopped new Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from putting her stamp on congressional action.
Greene has turned her attention to floor votes where she has been trying to gum up the efforts by Democrats to force through legislation she and much of the GOP conference sees as costly or overbearing.
Her tactics were on display today when she moved to adjourn Congress before it began work to approve the costly $1.9 trillion coronavirus package pushed by President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“For the past year, this government, governments everywhere, had shut down America. Shut down small businesses, we shut down churches, we shut down beaches, we have shut down our children’s schools, and we shut down American’s lives, and it’s been horrible. And the only entity in this country that really should shut down is Congress,” she told Secrets.
While her effort didn’t stop the bill from passing, it put Democrats on notice that they haven’t quieted her by removing her from committees for actions and statements they found offensive. In fact, it gave her a new role similar to those past back row members, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, also of Georgia, used to slow Democrats down.
“Who needs committees?” she said.
But while she had the support of the large GOP Freedom Caucus, some 40 Republicans did not support her motion to adjourn even though they had no plans to vote for the stimulus package. more
I’d also call it the GOP Three Ring Surrender Circus!!
The election is a charade. Resist.
I like this babe!!! ;^)
Marjorie Taylor Greene rips ‘pathetic whining’ of GOP ‘Surrender Caucus’
That makes MILLIONS of us. 😡
Too bad the GOP has less than a hand-full with a real set, like her.
The GOP is actually the Go Along With Democrats, or GAWD, party.
Have been since the Clinton administration.
That’s the spirit!
Keep biting at their ankles.
Make it hurt.
Oh……wait……..No brain, No pain.
Why doesn’t she have more support. Gaetz and Boebert are about it.
The GOP rats need to be trapped and gotten rid of. They are more our enemies than the left.
All they did by taking her off committees was make her bolder and stronger on the floor.
The word “surrender” implies that they were previously resisting.
CLICHE
Tiene rason!
Manny immoral left wing radicals in the GOP lie and say they are compassionate conservatives. They lie! Having no morals helps them lie convincingly!
