This President’s Day, right-wing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was less than impressed with President Joe Biden’s visit to Ukraine and insisted that the United States should be divided.
“We need a national divorce,” the Georgia Republican wrote on Twitter. “We need to separate the red states and the blue states and shrink the federal government.”
‘Biden did not go to East Palestine, Ohio, on President’s Day. He went to the Ukraine, a NON-NATO nation whose leader is an actor and apparently now commanding our US Army in world war. We must impeach this foolish America Last before it’s too late.
“Everyone I talk to says this,” he added.
“From the sick and disgusting culture issues pushing us to the America Last treasonous policies of the Democrats, we are done.”
This President’s Day, right-wing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested that the US needs a “national divorce” between red and blue states.
Twitter users were quick to point out that Greene herself lives in a state that has elected Democratic senators in its last three Senate races.
Greene asked for a cut from the federal government just weeks after complaining that his salary from the federal government does not pay him enough.
‘Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. I made a lot more money before I got here. I’ve lost money since I got here,” Greene said while appearing on journalist Glenn Greenwald’s podcast.
“It’s not a life that I think is something I enjoy because I don’t enjoy it, but I’m committed to this work because I believe in it,” she said.
Members of Congress earn a salary of $174,000 and, under new rule changes, can now pay rent and meals for their time in Washington, DC.
The national divorce comment came on President’s Day, a day to celebrate the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, who fought to prevent a national divorce between North and South during the Civil War.
Not surprisingly for Greene, who regularly makes controversial and antagonistic statements, some of which stripped her of her committee assignments last Congress.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, criticized Greene for his tweet.
This rhetoric is destructive, incorrect and, quite frankly, perverse. We don’t need a divorce, we need marriage counseling. And we need elected leaders who don’t profit by tearing us apart. We can disagree without hate. Healthy conflict was critical to the founding and survival of our nation,” she wrote on Twitter.
Greene, who allied with President Kevin McCarthy, was rewarded this Congress with a seat on the high-profile Homeland Security and Oversight committees.
The congresswoman has said she regrets expressing her QAnon-aligned past, including a suggestion that the “lasers or beams of blue light” were under the control of a Jewish family leading a left-wing movement.
In another tweet, MTG shared a poll by Rasmussen showing the deep political divisions in the nation regarding Donald Trump being rated the number one “best” and “worst” president at the same time.
When asked who is the “best” president since Bill Clinton, 36 percent of respondents said Trump followed by Barack Obama at 30 percent, George W Bush and Clinton at 9 percent, and President Biden at 9 percent. 8 percent.
When asked who is “worst,” Trump got 41 percent of the vote, Biden 39 percent, Obama 5 percent, Bush 4 percent and Clinton 3 percent.
Greene, who served as a go-between for Donald Trump in trying to get McCarthy’s gavel as Speaker, is now seeking to be his vice-presidential pick.
“This is not a shrinking violet, she’s ambitious, she’s not shy about it, nor should she be,” Bannon said. “She sees herself on the short list for Trump’s vice president. To paraphrase Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror, she sees a would-be president who smiles back at her,” she said of the late NPR and ABC commentator.
Greene told a crowd at a Young Republicans event in New York in December that if she had organized on January 6, “we would have won” and “we would have been armed.”
