'You are the problem!' Marjorie Taylor Greene trolled over Mike Johnson 'doesn't want to impeach' Joe Biden claim
WASHINGTON, DC: Speaker Mike Johnson, who now holds the gavel, encountered criticism from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in the aftermath of the Biden impeachment inquiry.
The momentum behind the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has slowed under the new speaker, Johnson, as per The Washington Post.
The Speaker suggested, “that there is insufficient evidence at the moment to initiate formal impeachment proceedings.”
Rep. Greene took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to take a dig at Speaker Johnson and claimed he “doesn’t want to impeach.”
However, surprisingly, less than a month ago, Greene also voted for Johnson to become Speaker of the House.

She continued, “After 8 R’s and all D’s ousted him, we found checks to Joe Biden and evidence of a massive money laundering scheme and now the new guy you are told is way better doesn’t want to impeach. Such progress.”
The “new guy” mentioned above was Speaker Mike Johnson as she shared a post that quoted Johnson on “insufficient evidence” to initial impeachment proceedings against President Biden.
In a later post, Greene also claimed that she spoke to Johnson, “I just talked with Speaker Johnson and this is what he told me about impeachment:”
