Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene  had some harsh words for her fellow Republicans  
[5]
this week in a statement that she gave on the  steps of the Capitol. Marjorie Taylor Greene said  
[10]
that any Republican who supports the bipartisan  infrastructure package is in fact a traitor. And  
[19]
that might be one of the biggest cases of  projection we've ever seen. But here's her  
[24]
exact statement. Any Republican that votes yes  to an infrastructure bill that helps president  
[30]
Joe Biden pass his agenda when bumbling  Biden doesn't even know what he's doing,  
[35]
then that Republican is a traitor to our party,  a traitor to their voters and a traitor to our  
[41]
donors. Eh. You know, Marjorie, sometimes  and I love to say this because it's so true,  
[49]
sometimes the best thing to say is nothing  at all. And in this particular instance,  
[54]
you could have just stopped at a traitor  to our party, a traitor to our voters. 
[59]
Okay. At that point, your statement may have  had a little bit of effect on those Republicans.  
[64]
But once you said a traitor to our donors, oh  man, you just gave up the game there, Marjorie.  
[72]
How are you still so bad at this? I mean,  really you've been in office for 10 months  
[78]
now. I would think you'd be a little bit better  at choosing your words a little more carefully.  
[84]
But no, you didn't. A traitor to our donors who  don't want to see Republicans join with Democrats  
[92]
to give the public something good. And of course,  I'm talking about the infrastructure bill,  
[97]
not the reconciliation bill. The infrastructure  bill, even though it is not quite as big as  
[102]
had been originally promised, in  fact, it's a lot smaller than that,  
[106]
does provide necessary relief for every  single county throughout the United States.  
[114]
Every county, that's how big this thing is. And again, it should have been bigger.  
[119]
We needed it to be bigger. But even as it is  right now with bipartisan support, by the way,  
[126]
it provides money for every single county here  in the United States, which means every single  
[131]
representative, including Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Her district is going to get a lot of money  
[137]
to improve their infrastructure. This is  the kind of legislation that literally  
[142]
everywhere across the country is going to benefit  from it. Again, maybe not to the degree that we  
[148]
had wanted them to, but the infrastructure  bill is still a pretty decent bill. And it  
[153]
is absolutely a necessity that we pass this  piece of legislation. And Marjorie's out there  
[160]
scaring her fellow Republicans saying, if you  do this, you're a traitor. You want to talk  
[165]
about traitor? Marjorie, we learned earlier  this week that you had been coordinating  
[170]
with the organizers of that stop the steal rally.  Stop the steal, the steal wasn't even real. 
[177]
And you have the audacity to call  anybody else in this country a traitor?  
[182]
No, you need to look in the mirror  when you make statements like that,  
[186]
because that is the person you need to  be directing this towards, yourself.  
[193]
But the biggest reason she does not want  Republicans to support this bills because  
[196]
she does not want it to pass because if it  passes, then that will have meant that Joe  
[200]
Biden and the Democrats gave something good to  the American public, which is going to diminish  
[205]
Republican's chances of taking back the House  and the Senate in the midterms. That's what she's  
[209]
really concerned about. And she would rather throw  literally every single county in this country,  
[215]
under the bus, in order to  score a political victory.
