White House goes to war with Marjorie Taylor Greene for warning she won't vote to avoid a government shutdown until Joe is impeached over any links to son Hunter's business deals

    MTG on Thursday listed her demands for helping avoid a government shutdown
    They included an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden
    The White House hit back at 'extreme House members' and a 'hardcore fringe'

The White House condemned the 'hardcore fringe' of the Republican Party on Thursday night after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she would not vote to fund the government this month unless an impeachment inquiry was launched against President Joe Biden.

Congressional Republicans are weighing an inquiry as they probe Biden family finances.

Without a new spending deal, government funding is due to run out on September 30, sending federal workers home and shuttering agencies.

In a statement on Thursday night, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said: '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.

Stupid, White House ... they're giving MTG free press, raising her media profiles, and giving her more street cred with the Biden-haters.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Speaker McCarthy says he won't start an impeachment inquiry without a House vote.  Gutless RINO bastard shows his colors AGAIN!

Why is that?? All he's saying is that he won't order an impeachment inquiry without a floor vote.  And isn't that what MTG wants too -- a floor vote on opening an impeachment inquiry?

Yeah, that's the issue.  Pelosi ordered an impeachment inquiry on Trump without a vote from the full House authorizing it.  That made it legally questionable, so the Dems had to go back later and authorize it retroactively.   McCarthy is just saying he won't do that, and the vote has to come first.  MTG isn't disputing that.

The obvious problem is that almost certainly aren't enough votes for it to pass.  At least not yet.  I suspect McCarthy wants to wait until he knows he has enough votes for it to pass, but MTG is fine with holding the vote and losing.
