Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently claimed on Fox News that the indictments against former President Donald Trump are a manifestation of communism in America.
What Happened: In a discussion with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Greene asserted that the indictments against Trump are showing Americans “what communism really looks like.”
She further criticized the Joe Biden administration, suggesting that their only strategy is to tarnish Trump’s reputation.
Greene emphasized the need for Republicans to initiate an impeachment inquiry when they reconvene in September, Rolling Stone reports.
Bartiromo, in her segment, also insinuated that the Trump indictments might be a diversion tactic from news about alleged corruption within the Biden family.
Why It Matters: Greene has been urging Republicans to place their faith in God rather than news headlines. She has consistently stood by Trump, emphasizing the importance of unity within the Republican party.
Furthermore, Greene’s interactions with President Biden have been notable, with Biden even jesting that Greene endorsed him after a campaign video went viral.
The Georgia representative has said that she is eager to become former Trump’s 2024 running mate. She sees herself on the shortlist for Trump’s VP and shares key issue agreements, according to a prior report.
