Since being stripped of her committee assignments for her support of deranged conspiracy theories and the execution of her now-colleagues, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has embraced belligerence toward Democratic elected officials to preserve her standing among far-right voters.
Whether she's badgering Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to debate or seeking to impeach President Joe Biden on his first full day in office, Greene continues to preserve Trump's model of aggression and pettiness, though much of her criticisms aren't based in reality.
Such was the case this month when Greene penned a letter to Biden riddled with misinformation regarding the virus that's killed nearly 600 thousand Americans.
Today, I sent this letter to Joe Biden to demand an immediate investigation into Anthony Fauci\u2019s lies and his potential involvement in the cover up of the origins of the China virus.\n\nThe American people deserve answers on the Wuhan lab & Fauci deserves to be held accountable!pic.twitter.com/ka8PdgZrlk— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene) 1622839404
In the letter, Greene repeated her calls to fire Biden's chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose public health guidances—she says—amounted to ineptitude or deception.
While the conspiratorial contents of the letter weren't surprising coming from Greene, its last sentence stuck out:
"We urge your administration to act to provide us with these answers by June 31, 2021."
But Greene's team inadvertently gave Biden unlimited time to respond.
As the old adage goes, "Thirty days hath September, April, June and November." June doesn't have 31 days.
The error generated mockery on social media.

In all honesty, @POTUS @JoeBiden should promise her a full report to be delivered on June 31st (a date which doesn\u2019t exist) just as she requested. \n\n@RepMTG is so dumb it hurts.https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1400916114620702729\u00a0\u2026— Evan Ross \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Evan Ross \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1622941327

They were quick to remind her the date didn't exist.

MTG demands Biden investigate Fauci, which won\u2019t happen, and wants an answer by June 31st ... a date that doesn\u2019t exist.https://twitter.com/repmtg/status/1400916114620702729\u00a0\u2026— Eugene Daniels (@Eugene Daniels) 1622940210
Greene has yet to offer a corrected version.
