Newsweek: Marjorie Taylor Greene Plans to File Impeachment Articles Against Biden

We can't assume that just because Trump left that the work is done or that it will be easy. You still have over a 100 Republican members of the House who voted to support Trump's coup attempt, including Marjorie Greene. We also have to contend with the growing alternative, fact-free universe that is right wing media where racism is portrayed as common sense and sedition is celebrated as patriotism.

Indeed, we should expect OAN, Newsmax and Fox to become even more extreme and untethered as the compete for the same racist, right wing demographic. As a result, watch Congressional Republicans become even more extreme as they try to pander the audience of these extremist outlets.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday said that she plans to file articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden shortly after he is inaugurated.

"I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies," Greene said while appearing on Newsmax's Greg Kelly Reports. "So on January 21, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden."

When pressed about how filing the articles of impeachment will work, Greene brought up the recent violent riots at the U.S. Capitol when supporters of President Donald Trump breached the building in protest of Congress certifying state's electoral votes, saying that "I can't imagine people in this country being so fearful of a future of a Biden presidency that they may be willing to commit violence like they did at the Capitol."

She continued, "I do not condone that violence. The American people need hope, they need to know that there are Republicans in Congress that are willing to stand up and fight for them regardless of being a minority, regardless of having all odds against us, against me."

They will impeach Biden three times otherwise. Obviously for no reason but they will.

Whatevs.

Perhaps Margie can be Lauren Boobert's cell mate. They both belong in a prison psychiatric ward.

She doesn't need to be recalled- she needs a psychiatrist.

She has shown who she is; her current position doesn't provide her any more credence that she ever had. That crazy mentality and conspiracy driven dreck has no place in this country and should be flushed down the toilet of history along with every piece of Trumpism
