Marjorie Taylor Greene backtracks on Biden: 'Impeachment inquiry can not be rushed'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) first jumped the gun on impeaching President Joe Biden, filing articles of impeachment just after Republicans took control of the House of Representatives, but now she appears to be backtracking.

Greene, who got bad news on Saturday in the form of a poll showing she is completely unwanted as Trump's vice presidential pick, reportedly threatened to shut down the government without a Biden impeachment vote just a few days ago. She has consistently called for impeachment of not only Biden, but also his top officials.

'Wrong on both fronts': Georgia's Raffensperger slapped down for dismissing attempts to keep Trump off the ballot

Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger could block Donald Trump from his state's ballot, according to a new analysis, but he's simply choosing not to do so.

The state's top election official published a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Wednesday stating that he "can't keep Trump off the ballot," but MSNBC columnist Hayes Brown argued that Georgia law gives Raffensperger both the power and the responsibility to remove the former president as a primary candidate.

Kristi Noem spending taxpayer funds on 'national strategy' to get Trump's attention for VP nod

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is running a national ad blitz in hopes of introducing herself to Republican voters and catching the attention of Donald Trump.

The Republican presidential primary could be considered a tryout for Trump's running mate, given the tremendous lead he has over his challengers, but Noem is pursuing another strategy by spending $5 million in taxpayer money -- backed by COVID aid -- intended to attract workers to her state but also designed to raise her national profile, reported Politico.

'It's stupid': Marjorie Taylor Greene gets straight talk from GOP strategist for 'demanding' Biden impeachment inquiry

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is "demanding" a vote on an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, listing just a handful of Republican members of Congress who support the move. While the far-right Georgia Republican has been ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to approve an impeachment inquiry, longtime GOP strategist Susan Del Percio warns if Republicans try it, "it's going to go very badly" for them.

"No evidence has surfaced," The Messenger reports Thursday, "that shows President Biden received any of the funds that flowed to his son. And plenty of moderate and establishment Republicans worry impeachment will backfire on the party."

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls on 'patriots' to help prove Jan. 6 conspiracy theory

In a rant posted to X on Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) doubled down on her previous demands to release all the security footage from the Capitol during the January 6 attack — this time suggesting it could help "patriots" prove a conspiracy theory that federal agents were planted in the crowd to incite the violence.

"I called for releasing the tapes and stopped doing so when it was explained to me that groups like sedition hunters would use facial recognition software to go after more vulnerable people," wrote Greene.

Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Burning Man guests are being 'brainwashed' to think the Earth will explode

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) sounded the alarm that the attendees of Burning Man are being indoctrinated.

Burning Man has been largely made up of hippies who create a community and society for a week that operates on a barter system and gifts. The old-school Burning Man was once described by The New York Times as "50,000 stoned, half-naked hippies doing sun salutations while techno music thumps through the air." So, it's unclear who Greene thinks could be indoctrinated.
