Marjorie Taylor Greene's Biden Roast Backfires After She Says President Finishing What FDR, LBJ Started: 'Caught Us,' Says White House

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s (R-GA) attempt to criticize President Joe Biden by likening his policies to those of Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson backfired on Monday.

What Happened: Greene, at the turning point action conference, attempted to outline President Johnson’s programs, known as The Great Society, and compared them to Biden’s Build Back Better initiative.

She stated that Biden’s plan is “the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs that is actually finishing what FDR started that LBJ expanded on.” 

The White House responded to a video of her taking her comments as a compliment, stating that Biden "is working to make life easier for hardworking families."

Why It Matters: Greene has been a vocal critic of Biden’s policies, previously clashing with the President over his economic agenda. 

This came after, last month, the White House and Greene clashed after a local newspaper from the GOP lawmaker's hometown highlighted the federal public safety grants that her district was slated to receive under the American Rescue Plan.

However, Greene, along with every other House Republican, voted against the plan in March 2021.

Meanwhile, Greene’s criticism of Biden’s policies comes at a time when the US is grappling with a $32 trillion debt, record-high homelessness, and 40-year record inflation. She argues that the government is a “big fat, bloated machine” that is killing the American dream.
