Rep. Marjorie Greene says she will file for impeachment against Joe Biden on the first day of his presidency in order to avoid violence

She said people may commit more violence because they're afraid of Biden's presidency

Newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Wednesday that she would be filing articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on the first full day of his presidency.

"I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies," Greene said.

"So on January 21st, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden," she added.

NewsmaxTV host Greg Kelly noted that the effort would have a slim chance of success in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives and asked her if it would be merely symbolic.

"Well, like I said, I'm a big believer of having people in office that are actually willing to do the job. And I can't imagine people in this country being so fearful of a future of a Biden presidency that they may be willing to commit violence like they did in the Capitol here in Washington, D.C.," said Greene.

"We cannot have that, I do not condone that violence. The American people need hope," she added. "They need to know that there are Republicans in Congress that are willing to stand up and fight for them, regardless of being in a minority, regardless of having all odds against us, against me, or against anyone in Congress. We have to hold people accountable."

Knowing full well it will not go anywhere; knowing that it will not bring “unity’ to this already Grand Canyon sized political divide in this country, knowing full well it will not quell the absolute anger that many of us feel and have, knowing full well that Bidenidiot will never be acceptable as my or our President. I, for one, will never forget nor forgive what the Left and RINOs did and have done to Trump over the last 4 years, EVER!

FOOTNOTE: Eligible if acting officers whose prior executive branch appointment required Senate confirmation are included in the line of succession, which is unclear. The current succession act states that the list of eligible cabinet officers includes only "officers appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate," whereas the previous act stated that the list (of eligible cabinet secretaries) only applied to persons confirmed to "the offices therein named," thus excluded acting secretaries. Many officials who serve as acting secretaries have previously received Senate confirmations for deputy-level posts, and so might be eligible under the more ambiguous wording of the current law.

"And I can't imagine people in this country being so fearful of a future of a Biden presidency that they may be willing to commit violence like they did in the Capitol here in Washington, D.C.," said Greene.

She can't imagine that happening? Or she can imagine that happening? There's a bit of a difference.
