White House Dunks On MTG After Her Self-Own Rant Comparing Biden To FDR And LBJ

White House Dunks On MTG After Her Self-Own Rant Comparing Biden To FDR And LBJ
Turning Point USA

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's speech to the Turning Point Action Conference about how Biden's 'Build Back Better' program was adding to the deficit ended up sounding like a campaign ad for the President.

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is well known for her hyper-conservative views and tendency to spread conspiracy theory nonsense.

So her comments about President Biden over the weekend were totally on-brand.


Greene, who was reportedly kicked out of the conservative congressional Freedom Caucus for her behavior—especially an incident in which she allegedly referred to fellow far-right conspiracy theorist and Representative Lauren Boebert as a "little b*tch"—apparently decided to go after President Biden instead of her fellow Republicans this time.

During a speech at Turning Point USA's Turning Point Action conference over the weekend, Greene slammed Biden and accused him of trying to "finish what FDR started" in regards to economic policy and addressing concerns such as rural health care, education and poverty.

People were pretty confused about why Biden attempting to address rural poverty and systemic inequality was supposed to be such a problem.



Or, indeed, why Greene thought that comparing Biden's domestic policy decisions to those of former Presidents Roosevelt or Johnson was such a bad thing.

The White House's snarky response to Greene's accusation delighted Twitter users.

"Caught us. President Biden is working to make life easier for hardworking families."





Joe Biden's re-election campaign even turned it into an effective ad.

Greene was trying to make Biden out to be the bad guy, but if his administration manages to make positive change in the areas she listed, he will likely be celebrated in the future for those improvements. Better education, medical care access, and financial security would make everyone's lives better.

Santos' political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief. He has been soaking up attention since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence a couple of months ago.

Amanda Seyfried Refuses To Back Down After Calling Charlie Kirk 'Hateful': 'I'm Not F—king Apologizing'

Actor Amanda Seyfried said she has no plans to apologize after calling the assassinated far-right activist Charlie Kirk "hateful," telling Who What Wear that she merely "said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes."

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at a university in Utah; the suspect was caught after a two-day manhunt and has since been charged. The Trump administration has used Kirk's murder as an opportunity to crack down on free speech and to target leftists even though the shooter is aligned with the far-right.

Lauren Boebert In Hot Water After She's Busted Spending Campaign Funds On Kid Rock Concert Tickets

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is facing criticism after Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed she spent over $3,300 of her campaign funds on concert tickets and a hotel in Texas on the same weekend her once-rumored boyfriend—MAGA singer Kid Rock—was performing.
