Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) fired back at President Joe Biden after he took a weird swipe at the congresswoman in a post on Twitter. Biden issued his first veto with a post on social media where he made some bizarre comments about Greene.
Biden said: “I just vetoed my first bill. This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don’t like. Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.”
Green said: “No one has put our retirement at risk more than you, Joe. American families can’t count on checks from China to pay their rent and groceries like your family does.”
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) was not happy with Biden’s veto and slammed him in a blistering statement.
Manchin said: “This Administration continues to prioritize their radical policy agenda over the economic, energy and national security needs of our country, and it is absolutely infuriating.
“West Virginians are under increasing stress as we continue to recover from a once in a generation pandemic, pay the bills amid record inflation, and face the largest land war in Europe since World War II.
“The Administration’s unrelenting campaign to advance a radical social and environmental agenda is only exacerbating these challenges.
“This ESG rule will weaken our energy, national and economic security while jeopardizing the hard-earned retirement savings of 150 million West Virginians and Americans.
“Despite a clear and bipartisan rejection of the rule from Congress, President Biden is choosing to put his Administration’s progressive agenda above the well-being of the American people.”
Biden took a bizarre swipe at Majorie Taylor Greene when he vetoed the bill:
“I just vetoed my first bill.
“This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don’t like.
“Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.”
No one has put our retirement at risk more than you, Joe.
