Are MTG donors aware that she's essentially campaigning for the President?

LOL

Marjorie Taylor Greene ridiculed after her attacks on Biden seem more like compliments

The speech by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) at the Talking Points Action conference left some progressives scratching their heads after her attacks on President Joe Biden appeared to be more like compliments.

Ranting at the far-right crowd, Greene attacked programs like Social Security, Medicare, and other infamous programs started by the late Democratic presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson.

She began by warning Joe Biden is trying to "finish what FDR started" by trying to address problems related to "education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare."

"Well bless her heart."

Greene -- who has never been accused of being very smart -- clearly does not understand that Social Security, Medicare, public education, good roads all are popular among Democrats and Republicans.

"Well bless your heart",

Kinda like saying, she's so stupid she just can't help herself - then the chorus sings out- Well bless her heart.

I thought he was on the road explaining his economic successes when not traveling internationally to carry out his presidential duties. I’m confused.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was a giant of a President. On his worse day he’d have been better than anybody considered the “best” that Republicans have.
