Internet calls for Marjorie Taylor Greene to be censured or expelled after profane rant attacking President Biden
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted a profane and vulgar video of herself attacking President Joe Biden over Afghanistan, leading to calls for her censure or expulsion from Congress.
All House of Representative members are required by the Ethics Committee's Code of Official Conduct to "behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House."
Greene, some note, appears to have violated that rule.
"Joe Biden, you are not a president, you are a piece of s--t," Greene says in her video she posted to the far right social medias site GETTR. "Thousands of Americans are stuck over there in Afghanistan and you are letting the Taliban kick your a--, while you are lecturing governors about masks and vaccines. Do your job, bring these Americans home."
\u201cJoe Biden, you\u2019re not a president - you\u2019re a piece of shit.\u201d\n\nWATCH - a new video from Marjorie Taylor Greene on far-right website Gettr \n\nGreene is not fit to hold office and brings shame to her district and the state of Georgia.

Many are expressing outrage.
Greene shows absolute disrespect for the office of the presidency. @HouseDemocrats She should receive a censure or reprimand for her behavior. There needs to be some standards of decorum maintained.— Daniel Ray \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f (@Daniel Ray \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f) 1629375448
@SpeakerPelosi @GOPLeader - is this the proper demeanor for a member of the U.S. House of Representative?— DBdant (@DBdant) 1629340425
I\u2019m so tired of MOC getting away with *repeated* behavior the rest of us in any job of any sort would be fired from (for cause) instantly. If that district doesn\u2019t fire her at the first chance I will officially have lost all hope in humanity.— HawkeyeInDallas (@HawkeyeInDallas) 1629339512

This should be the last straw in that regard— hi3girls (@hi3girls) 1629332226
Marjorie Taylor Greene should be removed from Congress. Raise your hand if you agree.— Kim Mangone (@Kim Mangone) 1629346628
Let's ask @GOPLeader— D. Lowther (@D. Lowther) 1629345369
I get \u201cfree speech\u201d and all but this is unacceptable from an MoC. Her behavior on and off the job should reflect a more dignified demeanor.— Pamala, Dog Loving mom \ud83c\udf08\ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc36\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f (@Pamala, Dog Loving mom \ud83c\udf08\ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc36\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f) 1629348169
Wow. That\u2019s not an acceptable video for any elected official, let alone a MOC.— Greg M Jones, ModernaMan (@Greg M Jones, ModernaMan) 1629339892
