Newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced on Wednesday that she would be filing articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on the first full day of his presidency.
Greene made the announcement during an interview on NewsmaxTV.
“I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies,” said Greene.
“So on January 21st, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden,” she added.
NewsmaxTV host Greg Kelly noted that the effort would have a slim chance of success in the Democratically controlled House of Representatives and asked her if if would be merely symbolic.
“Well, like I said, I’m a big believer of having people in office that are actually willing to do the job. And I can’t imagine people in this country being so fearful of a future of a Biden presidency that they may be willing to commit violence like they did in the Capitol here in Washington, D.C.,” said Greene.
“We cannot have that, I do not condone that violence. The American people need hope,” she added. “They need to know that there are Republicans in Congress that are willing to stand up and fight for them, regardless of being in a minority, regardless of having all odds against us, against me, or against anyone in Congress. We have to hold people accountable.”
She followed up with a short statement on Twitter about her plan.
On January 21, 2021, I’ll be filing Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden for abuse of power.

“On January 21, 2021, I’ll be filing Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden for abuse of power,” she tweeted.
When TheBlaze reached out to Greene’s office to clarify her motivation for filing impeachment articles, her spokesperson offered the following response:
Rep. Greene simply wants to be a voice for the voiceless. American conservatives have been banned, censored, deplatformed and physically attacked. Unfortunately that removes hope from the people. Congresswoman Greene wants to defend these Americans and represent the Silent Majority.
Greene made the announcement on the same day as a vote in the House to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time.
Critics of Greene, including other Republicans, have accused her of employing inflammatory rhetoric in order to raise campaign funds and to gain political prominence. Greene has also been criticized for previously supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory.

What happened to the Biden corruption investigation? They should all be in prison.
YES! Do not file Articles of Impeachment based on “abuse of power” but file charging Conflict of interest and bribery based oh his behavior and bragging concerning the Ukraine Quid Pro Quo having a prosecuting attorney removed from investigating Joe Biden’s son Hunter biden.
Yes Ma’am……
On the evening of the day, you file for IMPEACHMENT… I shall send you a GOOD DONATION….
Honest….
Bribing the Ukraian government with 1 billion $$ if they don’t fire their prosecutor. China collusion, rigging an American election, aiding & abetting his son in criminal enterprises, hiding proof of collusion, & treason PLUS much more all verifiable! He & democrats went after Trump for much less and all fabricated FOR 4 YEARS AND ARE TRYING TO IMPEACH TRUMP AGAIN FOR SOMETHING HE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN! YUP, BIDEN DESERVES TO BE IMPEACHED AND DOGGED FOR THE REST OF HIS POLITICAL CARRIER.
Thank you Representative Greene. You have more cajones than the rest of the swamp! I used to be a fan of Rubio and some of the other Republicans but they have sold their souls to the devil!
Also, the ten Republicans that voted for President Trump’s impeachment better never ask me for anything. I am so upset at them. I’d feel better if they joined the demoncrat party.
Well the Dems have been doing this since Trump was elected. Even when they didn’t have the majority so why not.
If by some small chance it worked she would than have to impeach Harris for inciting riots all summer. That is if Harris can even become president constitutionally since it is said she isn’t a naturally born citizen. I know. I know the dems couldn’t care less about the Constitution.
Very Good! There is actual evidence to convict Biden as opposed to the garbage they tried to pin on President Trump. Thank you!!!
Joe Biden didn’t win. It was a rigged election. Plan by the democrats and Soros. Your vote didn’t count. Nancy Pelosi and her husband have stock in the voting machines. Our Supreme Court has turned against the constitution and the truth. No longer trust anyone in Congress. They are against the constitution and the American people. Communists everyone of them. America died when joe Biden cheated his way to the White House.
Y’all are some really “”SICK SOUNDING PEOPLES!
I’m praying that GOD will intervene and help us to get our country on track again.
It’s a sinful spirit that’s moving into our land and only GOD” can make things right again!!
Blessings and love to all people, and May God bless AMERICA
Thank yu .. Joe Biden IMO should not hav been able 2 run .. st least until Hunter Biden & the Biden family fraud implications hav been settled .. did the Democrsts not hav a stronger contender than this feeble man ..
Just like in 2016, was hillary their best choice. The only difference, the media and a few hundred crooked liberals got slo-joe elected.
It is past time to fight fire with fire!
You are exacttly right. I’ve been saying that for 12 years now.
The DOJ as well as the FBI are on an extended Vacation ~ That’s why Nothing has been done on the Biden Crime Family~!!!
Finally, a Republican with some guts to uphold the Constitution and do the right thing! Drain that swamp!!! All of them!!
Bidden will NEVER be my President!!
Been waiting 47 years for this. Count me in.
Maybe we need to open up to idea of two presidents.Trump won simple fact.We have all sat back idle and let the Dems crash in.The courts and the political parties have sold USA.we have to fight and shout out for ourselves and our children,their childrens childrens.
Hang Biden by the balls if he has any. His only interest is his own greed, he doesn’t doesn’t care about this country.
What’s good for the goose………..!
Don’t need to worry about Buden! Kamala has a deep hole ready for him, somewhere…
