Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she is not surprised GOP voters have little confidence Republican lawmakers will hold senior Biden administration officials accountable for not cooperating with House investigations.
“There’s a lot of people that believe that the Republicans actually have to put up or shut up,” Ms. Greene told The Washington Times in an interview. “We don’t want that reputation anymore with the people where they go, ‘Oh, yeah, they’re just saying this, but they’re not going to do anything about it.’ That’s something that our conference needs to fix. And we need to fix it going into 2024.”
Republicans have threatened articles of impeachment, contempt charges and call for the resignation of senior-level Biden administration officials, including the impeachment of President Biden himself. Among the top officials targeted by House Republicans are Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The survey of 996 likely voters was conducted on May 11 and 14-15. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence level. House Democrats deployed similar pressure tactics when they held the majority in the last Congress. They subpoenaed former Trump administration officials, including Stephen K. Bannon, Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino. The Justice Department accepted House Democrats’ recommendation to charge Bannon and Mr. Navarro with contempt for refusing to cooperate with the now-disbanded House Jan. 6 committee.
Despite the skyrocketing fentanyl crisis and a flood of migrants entering small towns and cities across the country, the drive for his impeachment lost steam. Not enough GOP lawmakers were willing to support the measure.“Impeachment is definitely looming for him. We’re only short a few votes to get that one done,” she said.
Sometimes, though, holding a contempt measure over an official’s head can get lawmakers what they want.
