'Clueless moron': QAnon congresswoman ripped for declaring Biden is China’s president just after inauguration
January 20, 2021
Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has voiced support for QAnon and other conspiracy theories, on Wednesday blasted President Joe Biden shortly after he was inaugurated.
Greene voiced outrage that China imposed sanctions on top officials from the previous administration for "a series of crazy moves" out of "selfish political interests."
<p>"President Joe Biden is going to play clueless Grandpa by standing aside and allowing America's enemies to go after his political enemies," Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1351964881646444557" target="_blank">charged</a>.

Federal officials this week arrested Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs and slapped him with criminal charges for his role in leading the pro-Trump riots that rocked the United States Capitol building on January 6th.
In a criminal complaint released Wednesday, the FBI revealed that it had used footage taken during the Capitol riot to determine that Biggs illegally broke into the building with the intent to "obstruct, influence, or impede an official proceeding before Congress."
