Marjorie Taylor Greene Purports to Speak for U.S. Soldiers Killed in Jordan: They’d ‘Rather Be Guarding Our Southern Border’

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) used the deaths of three American soldiers killed in Jordan to make a point about the U.S. southern border with Mexico, going so far as to speculate about their deployment preferences.

The service members were killed on Sunday in what the Pentagon said was a drone strike by Iranian proxy forces. On Monday’s Kudlow on Fox Business, Greene invoked the three while discussing her effort to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Republicans have introduced Greene’s impeachment resolution, which accuses the secretary of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” over his department’s handling of the border.

“Everybody knows there was a massive problem and breakdown,” Kudlow said of the job Mayorkas and President Joe Biden doing on the border. “Now it is time to take an accounting.”

Greene responded:

Month after month, it’s another historic number of invasions. December was the highest number, but we can’t watch Americans die every single day from fentanyl overdose and illegal alien crime. You know, it’s members of Congress, we’re the lawmakers, not the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. And Secretary Mayorkas has taken it into his hands to make this border invasion possible. He’s paroled illegal aliens en masse into the country.

And here we have, you know, tragically three members of the Georgia Reserves killed in this awful attack that we’ve just learned about. You know, I think those reservists would rather be guarding our southern border and protecting our homeland than tragically getting killed because of Biden’s weakness and horrific foreign policy that’s led to this attack.

Kudlow replied by agreeing with the congresswoman.
