Marjorie Taylor Greene compares Biden to FDR, LBJ. Thanks for the free campaign ad!

OH NO, NOT INVESTING IN SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE! HEAVEN FORFEND! INNOCENT AMERICANS MIGHT GET HELPED!

As if connecting Biden to popular social programs wasn’t enough, Greene took the high praise a step further by looping in President Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of the most popular presidents in American history.

I honestly wonder if a covert Biden campaign official didn’t slip this speech into Greene’s teleprompter ahead of time. 

It’s Marjorie Taylor Greene, so one has to expect some lies

Of course there were a few mistakes. She started out by saying Biden and Johnson are both “Democrat socialists,” which is an insult to both socialists and words. She continued the comparison by saying “Lyndon B. Johnson was the majority leader in the Senate, does that sound familiar?”

It sounds neither familiar nor relevant, as Biden was never majority leader in the Senate.

She also said Biden is trying to “complete socialism,” which doesn’t make any sense, and pointed out that “we are now $32 trillion in debt” (the debt has increased by $3.7 trillion midway through Biden’s first term, and it increased by $7.8 trillion in President Donald Trump’s one term) while lying that inflation is at a 40-year high (it was last year but has since dropped for 12 consecutive months to a two-year low in June, and America now has lower inflation than any of the other Group of Seven major industrial nations nations).

The Biden campaign should be thanking Marjorie Taylor Greene for the free campaign ad!

Pesky facts aside, Greene’s attempt to raise Biden’s profile to that of FDR and the president who launched a war on poverty and created Medicare was clearly appreciated. On Monday morning, the official White House Twitter account retweeted the video of Greene’s speech, adding: “Caught us. President Biden is working to make life easier for hardworking families.”

If Biden’s campaign officials are smart, they’ll take video of Greene’s speech, cut it into a reelection ad, run it in every market in America and cash in on the goodwill.

Thanks, Marge!
