MTG MOVES TO DEFUND JACK SMITH’S INVESTIGATION OF TRUMP

News of President Trump’s arraignment dominated headlines this week, leading Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to take action.

Before the arraignment took place, Greene introduced an appropriations rider to pull funding from the investigation.

She posted about the decision to do so on Twitter, stating, “This is a weaponized government attempt to take down the top political enemy, and leading presidential candidate of the United States, Donald. J. Trump.”

We have to use the power of appropriations to stop the weaponization of government.

Greene also declared, “We cannot allow the government to be weaponized!”

She urged members of Congress to act and reminded them of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden’s alleged crimes which have not been as scrutinized as President Trump and remain unpunished.

Just before President Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday, Greene posted another video personally addressing the American people. She said, “It’s such an abuse of our justice system.”

The decisions made here in Washington, at the Capitol and the Supreme Court, are in some cases literally the difference between life and death. And there’s people here in Washington who are rejoicing that President Trump was arraigned today on 37 charges of election interference. pic.twitter.com/tqId0rwnxy— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) June 13, 2023

Greene pledged to defund Jack Smith’s special counsel and fight against the weaponization of the American government. She said that America has become a communist country, and stated, “We have been taken over. We’re not a Free Country anymore.”

She also noted how life and death decisions are made in Washington and described the severity of the “fake charges” being brought against President Trump.

The congresswoman pointed out concerns regarding the Biden crime family and the questionable behavior of Joe Biden and his son, as well as the FBI’s refusal to aid in investigations of the Biden administration.

Greene concluded that “Today President Trump is being arraigned because he’s winning the 2024 presidential election and the Biden regime is terrified of it.”

When are you introducing this rider and how does the rider work?

“Watch the RINOs join the demoncraps in censuring MTG”

Along with the lunatic FR Assistant Democrats who attack MTG every chance they get.

Kari Lake would be a good choice for Trump as VP,... but MTG is moving up to a close second.

I also wish Newt Gingrich would have been on his team, I wish I knew what they could not agree on.

Jack “Hoff” Smith should be under investigation, himself.

The censoring of Adam Schiff was something that could have and should have been done, the Republicans have the power to do it, this proposal by MTG is virtue signaling like you said, she backed McCarthy for Speaker and hasn’t backed off that, much like most Republicans they propose things that will never happen and vote down things that could happen

Because the same 20 RINOS who voted against Censoring Schit
Won’t vote to impeach Biden.
And McCarthy is too afraid to bring it to a vote.
And expose these 20 or more going on record with their no vote for impeachment.

I second that. If any a president deserved to be impeached, it’s Biden...they have all they need to start the proceedings.

Bump.

A number here on this thread are Trump Haters.

It is pointless to argue with them. So I won’t.

She’s a little too late isn’t she? She should have done it from the start when Garland appointed Smith as special Special Counsel.
