US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blasted her right-wing colleagues during a Tuesday interview over their failure to back her ongoing efforts to impeach President Joe Biden, The Daily Beast reports.
Following House Republicans' failed attempt to oust Biden, CNN reported in April that "after 15 months of coming up short in proving some of his biggest claims against the president, [House Oversight Committee Chair James] Comer (R-KY) recently approached one of his Republican colleagues and made a blunt admission: He was ready to be 'done with' the impeachment inquiry into Biden." CNN added that the chairman's probe had reached "a dead end."
During a conversation on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast Tuesday, the Beast reports Greene said, "Today, we should be voting to impeach Joe Biden, because of the invasion in the United States. Oh, but no! None of that is happening up here in Washington, D.C. because Republicans continually have their head up their a**."
The right-wing leader added, "This is a new time in America, and I am so fed up, Steve. I am so fed up. I am so sick of it because I know people at home are sick of it. People are sick and tired of a feckless, useless Republican Party that never does a damn thing to stop any of this. They just sit in the boat and row along with the Democrats and row."
The Beast noted, "House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told reporters that impeachment needs to be 'very methodical' and that his colleagues should wait to see what current investigations will yield, according to Roll Call."
New York Times opinion writer Michelle Cottle explained that the Georgia lawmaker also found herself without support in her efforts to oust Johnson last month.
"In the wake of Ms. Greene’s failed crusade to depose House Speaker Mike Johnson, her craziest-clown-at-the-carnival act seems to have descended into a sad clown party of one," Cottle wrote.

"Not long ago, people were buzzing about the MAGA radical as a kind of shadow speaker, the woman who had her party’s leadership running scared," the Times writer continued. "Three years into her congressional tenure, Ms. Greene has reached a defining moment of sorts. Does she want to remain a fringy, bomb-lobbing troll in the backbenches, or will she try to become something more?"
