Marjorie Taylor Greene links Trump's indictment to bribery allegations against Biden
June 09, 2023
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Friday linked the timing of Donald Trump’s indictment to Thursday’s announcement by congressional Republicans alleging President Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme.
The far-right congresswoman from Georgia suggested that Biden should have been arrested Thursday over the unsubstantiated claims.
Her statement came during a speech Friday after Jack Smith announced the unsealing of a 37-count indictment alleging Trump mishandled classified documents in violation of the Espionage Act. The former president is scheduled to be arraigned in Miami on Tuesday.
Biden dismissed the allegations Republicans leveled against him as a “bunch of malarky.”
“And it is no coincidence that yesterday, when we walk out of the skiff in the Capitol and bring out the most damning credible evidence against Joe Biden, impeachable offenses, and I'll argue this, he should have been hauled out of the White House yesterday in handcuffs, right?” Greene said to thunderous cheers during an appearance at the Georgia Republican convention.
“But instead, what was the news cycle last night? That they have indicted President Trump for mishandling classified documents. You should be outraged.
“Good because I'm with you,” she said to more applause from her audience.
“But let me tell you something, it's going to get worse. It is not going to get better, it's going to get worse because they are going to continue,” she said.
“They don't want you to ever win elections again. They do not want you to ever be able to pick who you want to live in the White House and to run this country or hold any other political office."
“They don't want you in charge. They want to be in charge.”
