WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told reporters she's furious with her party over the budget bills. She also downplayed the GOP's failures over the Joe Biden impeachment and championed Donald Trump's immunity case headed to the Supreme Court.
"I think it's great," Greene told Raw Story at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday.
If the Supreme Court allows for presidential immunity to protect Trump, all the cases "are gone," Greene added.
"I think the Supreme Court is the place for this to be, given the fact that some of these lower courts are politically biased, which is a major problem."
"I think he had immunity. I'll tell you, I don't think President Trump did anything wrong," she continued.
Raw Story asked if she'd be as supportive if Biden could claim immunity too.
"Yeah, which you would think that Democrats would support presidential immunity as well," said Greene.
She went on to say that she introduced a bill that would allow January 6 rioters to move their cases to different courts, and "I didn't put a political bias in that."

"People need to stop looking at it through the political lens at the moment and realize how it affects everyone overall," Greene said.
That's one of the reasons that Democrats oppose presidential immunity for both Biden and Trump — arguing that presidents should not be above the law.
Greene moved onto GOP's efforts to impeach Biden, promising that effort wasn't dead despite a lack of evidence and a key witness being arrested and charged with lying to the FBI.
She said she was looking forward to having public hearings with Hunter Biden — which the GOP has previously pushed against.
She went on to say that she was disillusioned with her party after budget talks.
“I’m unhappy with our entire GOP conference. It’s a failure,” she said. “We’re doing everything we said we wouldn’t do. That’s a failure, in my opinion.”
The government is set to shut down at midnight Friday if funding measures aren't agreed.
"Why can't they have peace? Like, why can't the Senate — why can't our border matter?" Greene asked. "So, I think it's pretty foolish to bring up a funding bill — to the floor — when it's something the American people just don't support."
According to a YouGov/EuroTrack poll from Jan. 5 - Feb. 4, "a plurality of Americans, 43 percent, think the West should support Ukraine until Russia withdraws, and 46 percent think the West is not doing enough to support Ukraine." Meanwhile, 45 percent think the U.S. is spending too much money on Ukraine. The polls are split largely on party lines.
"Our job title is Representative. Our job title is not, um, fund the CIA's war against Ukraine," Greene said.
“Well, I’ve kind of brought back the name ‘House of hypocrites’ because our conference was all about no CRs, no CRs, no minibuses, no omnibuses. And all I heard talked about this morning was we’re on our third CR … so that we can vote on multiple mini-buses,” she told CNN’s Manu Raju.
