Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is furious.
Speaking in Phoenix as part of "Amfest," Greene lambasted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for saying the House GOP has nothing on President Joe Biden after they voted to launch an impeachment inquiry.
Sunday morning, Graham appeared on "Meet the Press," where he said, among other things, that he hasn't seen a smoking gun yet, and Republicans have been searching for five years.
"They have to prove that President Biden somehow financially benefited from the business enterprises of Hunter Biden. We'll see," Graham said.

"If there were a smoking gun, I think we'd be talking about it. But the narrative that Hunter Biden presented is falling apart. The idea that Joe Biden knew nothing about the business dealings is falling apart," he added.
But Greene said, "It's absolutely provably true that they are the most corrupt criminals to ever serve or hold office in Washington." No one in Biden's family holds office other than the president. It is one of the main reasons they haven't been able to impeach Hunter Biden.
The attacks on Biden began in 2018 when Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump claimed that then-former Vice President Joe Biden made $1.5 billion from China. The problem is that the Biden family isn't worth $1.5 billion, or even close to it. As the story has evolved, the money Biden "got" has significantly decreased.
The amount has slowly decreased over time as Republicans have searched for the money they say Biden got from foreign entities as a bribe. The latest allegation came from Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who claimed that Hunter Biden gave his father $4,140 over three months to pay him back for helping him buy a 2018 Ford Ranger truck. According to Comer, the $4,140 was the payment from the foreign entity for political bribes. Biden wasn't in office in 2018 and a little over $4,000 is a far cry from the $1.5 billion Trump has falsely claimed.
Even former Attorney General Bill Barr didn't buy Giuliani's claims at the time.
Still, Republicans are determined to find something in the Biden finances. Thus far they haven't been able to gain access to bank accounts to sift through every purchase ever made by the family since 2008.
Greene asked the crowd if they knew "which RINO" (Republican in name only) was saying the GOP didn't have any proof of wrongdoing. Some in the audience shouted out Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). But Greene said it was Graham.
"That's right. Lindsey Graham, today, on 'Meet the Press' said that there is not a 'smoking gun,'" quoted Greene. "Even though, let me tell you something people. We had produced checks written to Joe Biden. Is that not a smoking gun?"
