Trump Dined With Marjorie Taylor Greene To Plan 'Painful' Biden Impeachment

If you needed any more proof that the forthcoming impeachment inquiry into President Biden was nothing more than revenge theater, here it is: Donald Trump recently hosted Marjorie Taylor Greene for a dinner where the duo plotted how to make the impeachment as "painful" as possible for Biden. Trump has also been talking impeachment with other House Republicans, and it is now clear that he's the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

So Republicans in the House of Representatives are of course, moving forward with their impeachment inquiry, even though they actually didn't hold a vote to launch an impeachment inquiry. 'cause they knew they didn't have enough Republicans to support it. So Kevin McCarthy this week, of course, directed Republican held committees to go ahead and start their inquiry into President Biden. And he did this, you know, backing off of pressure from Matt Gaetz. But the question is, why is Matt Gaetz putting this kind of pressure on Kevin McCarthy? Like, what's in it for Matt Gaetz? He knows it's poison for the Republican Party. I've repeatedly said there's no good outcome for Republicans here. So why is Gates so adamant about this? Why is Marjorie Taylor Greene so adamant about this? Well, it turns out the most likely, uh, scenario is of course what happened. It's not that these Republicans desperately want to impeach President Biden.

It's that Donald Trump is pulling the strings from behind the scenes. According to new reports, Donald Trump has been having weekly phone calls with, uh, the G o p caucus chair, Elise St. Telling her that they've gotta push forward with impeachment. And of course, St was the first high ranking Republican to come out in favor of impeachment due to the pressure she was getting from Donald Trump. And now we found out that this past Sunday, Donald Trump actually had dinner with Marjorie Taylor Greene Halibut and Diet Cokes as, as she described it, um, where Green and Trump plotted what green called a long and excruciatingly painful impeachment for Joe Biden. It's all coming from Donald Trump. The man who is still so upset and so hurt that he got impeached twice is now forcing the Republican party that he technically has no authority over. By the way, he is forcing them to do this.

He is forcing them to go down this path on which there is no good destination for any of these Republican politicians. I mean, listen, Green's not gonna have to pay a price. As I've said, she's in a safe Republican district. Same thing with Matt Gaetz, Elise St as well. But that's why the moderates in the house, Republican Caucus. That's why they don't support this because they're the ones who will pay the price. Republicans will lose the house because of this. That is what the experts are already telling us. Kevin McCarthy has lost control, but he didn't lose control to Matt gats. He didn't lose control to Marjorie Taylor Green. He's now lost control of the House of Representatives to Donald Trump. And if you needed any further evidence that this entire impeachment thing

Wasn't based on evidence, it wasn't based on allegations, it was based purely on political spite, then this is the story, okay? This is the one that proves it is Donald Trump pulling the strings on these idiot Republican puppets that are serving in Washington DC and now they're gonna waste everybody's time. Now they're gonna go on what actually is a political witch hunt because Trump told him to the man who has no control over whether you win election or lose election, the man who is facing 91 felony charges, the man that was impeached twice, the man that was so bad at business, he couldn't even keep casinos from going bankrupt. The man who couldn't sell stakes, couldn't sell bottled water, couldn't run a sham university to save his life. He is the one calling the shots on this impeachment. That alone is worthy of an investigation. I mean, could you imagine, imagine for a moment that Hanana had lunch with me and we discussed ways that he was gonna make Republicans lives Hell, you don't think that would be a big, massive story of somebody who's not in Congress telling a congressman what he has to do?

Because I personally want it to happen. It may not be illegal, but it's sure unethical. And that's what's at the heart of all of this. And I'm not saying this as somebody who's just blindly loyal to Biden. I'm saying this as somebody who understands how stupid all of this is and how stupid the Republican party has become.
