The White House on Thursday bashed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for warning that she won’t vote to fund the government if Congress doesn’t hold a vote on an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, calling her the “hardcore fringe” of the Republican Party.
“The last thing the American people deserve is for extreme House members to trigger a government shutdown that hurts our economy, undermines our disaster preparedness, and forces our troops to work without guaranteed pay,” spokesperson Andrew Bates said.
Greene announced on Thursday that she would not vote to fund the government and avoid a shutdown if the House doesn’t vote to open the impeachment inquiry. She also put other conditions on her vote, including ending funding for the war in Ukraine, eliminating funding for what she called the “weaponization” of government, and eliminating coronavirus-related mandates.
