Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded Monday after the official White House Twitter account called her out by name over a forgiven Paycheck Protection Loan she received in 2020.
The congresswoman told President Joe Biden to “go to hell” in a tweet.
Thursday, the White House highlighted forgiven PPP loans of a number of Republican lawmakers who had complained about Biden’s announcement he would forgive a substantial amount of student debt.
A day before, Greene accused Democrats of buying votes, and said student loan forgiveness is “completely unfair” during an interview on Newsmax TV.
The White House shared a clip of the interview, and commented, “Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven.”
Friday, Greene shared a short snippet from Biden’s campaign remarks Thursday in Maryland. In the clip shared by Greene, he said, “I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.”
She commented, “I don’t respect you for leaving our border wide open allowing an invasion & deadly drugs in daily, arming
Friday was not the first time Greene has unloaded on Biden. Last August, she posted a video of her at a gym. In a 17-second clip, she said:
Joe Biden, you’re not a president. You’re a piece of shit. Thousands of Americans are stuck over there in Afghanistan and you’re letting the Taliban kick your ass while you’re lecturing governors about masks and vaccines. Do your job. Bring these Americans home.
The Biden administration equated grumbling from Republicans about student loan forgiveness to “hypocrisy” in a statement to Newsweek.
“We’ve never hesitated to call out hypocrisy, and we’re not going to stop now,” said White House spokeswoman Alexandra LaManna.
Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) disputed his forgiven PPP loan met the bar for hypocrisy.
