Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Calling Biden ‘A Liar’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she isn’t “one bit” sorry for calling Joe Biden a “liar” during his State of the Union address, adding that the president got “exactly what he deserved.”

Greene showed no remorse for her actions, despite being criticized on social media for disrupting the president’s annual address.

“People are angry,” he told CNN on Wednesday. She got exactly what she deserved. And I’m not sorry one bit.

He again accused Biden of lying about the economy and the border. Republicans were furious Tuesday night when Biden, in his remarks, accused the GOP of wanting to “cancel” Medicare and Social Security.

The president was referring to a plan by Republican Sen. Rick Scott to automatically cancel the laws if they are not renewed, which Democrats say would include Medicare and Social Security.

Chairman Kevin McCarthy, earlier on Tuesday, had implored Republicans to behave during the president’s remarks.

During the speech, when Republicans began yelling at Biden to “secure the border,” McCarthy silenced them from his place in House days.

But Greene said he didn’t think the speaker was angry about the interruptions.

“I don’t think Chairman McCarthy is upset with any of us for expressing our views and not being willing to allow the President to lie. What am I going to do stand up and golf clap? No, thanks. I don’t applaud liars,’ he said.

She is not the only Republican who is redoubling her attacks on the president.

Scott, the Republican senator from Florida, is running a new ad in his state calling on Biden to step down.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy accused Biden of making outrageous claims about Republican plans for these entitlement spending programs as “political layering” to “incite” a backlash from Republican lawmakers.

After Biden spent much of his State of the Union address Tuesday night trumpeting that he rebuilt the economy and quelled inflation after the pandemic, he hit a sore point when he claimed Republicans want to “hold the economy hostage.” .

It comes as polls show that most Americans feel they are worse off financially and the economy is in worse shape because of Biden’s policies.

The president’s remarks quickly drew the biggest response of the night from Republicans, who booed, booed, and shouted that he was “lying.”

Biden primarily used Tuesday night’s State of the Union to tout his economic achievements, express optimism for the future and urge Republicans to work with him.

However, it turned into an unusually chaotic night as many Republican lawmakers loudly voiced their anger at some of Biden’s claims, particularly about his administration’s handling of the fentanyl crisis and the economy, to cries of protest. ‘liar!’, ‘it’s all your fault’ and ‘secure the border’.

Biden tried to hit back, continuing to call for bipartisanship, but the message being set to support his likely re-election announcement came under repeated attack.

“Well, the president was trying to incite the members, and the members are passionate about that,” McCarthy told Fox and Friends on Wednesday morning. “But all the president was saying was something he knew wasn’t true. I just spent an hour with him, I’ve said it many times before: Social Security and Medicare are off the table.’

“He’s trying to use that for a political ploy,” the Spokesman alleged. ‘But the only thing we have to be is that we have to be smart. He is trying to play politics with the debt ceiling by not negotiating, by lying about our position. I want to be responsible, I want to be sensible, I want to sit down and work on this problem.’

Scott also said in his ad that Biden is lying about Republicans wanting to cut these programs while avoiding their own responsibilities for them.

“Joe Biden just cut $280 billion from Medicare and we know about his 80,000 new IRS agents,” Scott said in his 30-second ad while donning a Navy hat. “But what they don’t know is that Joe Biden also cheated on his taxes and got away with it.”

‘Biden misused a loophole to avoid half a million dollars in taxes that should have gone to Medicare. Now that Biden has ripped off Medicare out of $500,000, he wants to close the loophole and raise taxes on him,” he added.

“I’m Rick Scott, Biden should resign,” the Republican senator concluded.

Scott posted the clip on Twitter Tuesday with the caption: “Here’s my ad coming out tomorrow to welcome Joe to FL – he’s a tax evader and needs to quit.”

He repeated this same message when he spoke to the media after the State of the Union address on Tuesday night, stating that it is time for the president to step down.

During Biden’s remarks before a joint session of Congress, he took aim at the Republicans for the debt ceiling negotiations and their proposals for the economy. Many felt that his comments were intended to elicit some sort of big backlash from Republicans, which he earned.

“Some of my Republican friends want to take the economy hostage, I understand, unless I agree with their economic plans,” the president said during his speech. “All of you back home should know what the plans are: Instead of making the rich pay their fair share, some Republicans want to see an end to Medicare and Social Security.”

“I’m not saying it’s a majority,” he added as some legislators began to boo.

Republicans yelled, while others, like Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, frowned and shook their heads in disapproval.

Rep. Ronny Jackson, once a White House physician, tweeted: ‘Tonight’s State of the Union was ALL LIES! EVERYTHING has gotten worse under Biden.

‘If you REALLY cared about the state of our country, you would resign IMMEDIATELY!’ said the Texas congressman.
