Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tore into her fellow Republicans, yet again, over their unwillingness to impeach President Joe Biden.

“What we should be doing right now. Today, we should be voting to impeach Joe Biden because of the invasion in the United States. Oh, but no, none of that is happening up here in Washington, DC, because Republicans continually have their head up their ass and can’t figure out how to actually use the power that the people gave us,” Greene raged on Steve Bannon’s far-right War Room podcast Tuesday.

“This is a new time in America, and I am so fed up, Steve. I am so fed up. I am so sick of it because I know people at home are sick of it. People are sick and tired of a feckless, useless Republican party that never does a damn thing to stop any of this. They just sit in the boat and row along with the Democrats and row,” Greene concluded.

Greene also took to the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday and made the case for impeaching Biden over his policies on illegal immigration. Greene posted a clip to her X account, adding:

Democrats are abusing our justice system to target political opponents like President Trump.

Their sham trial is a disgrace!

I’ll be talking with Speaker Johnson. Our Republican conference has to take action.

I have Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden drafted and ready. I’ll force a vote if I have to.

It’s time for Republicans to grow a spine and hold Democrats accountable!

Greene has long been pushing for House Republicans to impeach Biden. In the past some of her Republican colleagues have pulled no punches in denouncing her desire to use impeachment as a political lever. In September 2023, then-Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) slammed Greene and urged her to read the U.S. Constitution before pushing forward with articles of impeachment that do not allege treason, high crimes, or misdemeanors.

“ The Constitution says Congress shall count the votes. Doesn’t say Congress may overturn an election result. It doesn’t say Congress can do whatever the heck it wants with this election. ‘Shall count the votes,’ that’s what the Constitution says. In her CrossFit class maybe they didn’t cover that,” Buck told a local radio show, adding:

And it also, the Constitution, also says that, you know, the impeachment of a president shall be based on treason, high crimes, and misdemeanors. It doesn’t say it’s a political exercise and we hope the Senate does the right thing.
