“Congresswoman Greene’s comments are sick, divisive, and alarming to hear from a member of the House Oversight and Homeland Security Committees,” said White House spokesperson Robyn Patterson, in a response to Greene exclusively shared with The Daily Beast
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s call for a “national divorce” that separates “red states and blue states” has provoked fierce criticism from President Joe Biden’s White House.
Once a pariah in the House Republican ranks who was removed from her committee posts, Greene was instrumental in the election of Speaker Kevin McCarthy last month. With McCarthy firmly in her corner, and with even better committee assignments, Greene is one of the most influential GOP lawmakers. During the President’s Day holiday, as Biden visited President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in war-torn Ukraine, the far-right Georgia Republican unloaded tweets endorsing the idea that the United States should somehow be split apart.
Responding to Biden’s tweet about his visit to Kyiv, Greene declared, “impeach Biden or give us a national divorce.”
