It was a weekend of horrors at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, where the extreme far right, otherwise known as Republicans, gathered for the Turning Point Action conference. It might have gotten a little awkward for the Freedom Caucus members in attendance when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who they recently booted from the group, showed up to give her little speech. It will be no less awkward when President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign ends up lifting clips from her speech for his ads.
Greene was attempting to scare the crowd by comparing President Biden to Lyndon B. Johnson and even Franklin Delano Roosevelt in this snippet, tweeted by @acyn. Biden and LBJ are both “Democrat Socialist,” she said, which is not a thing. LBJ, she explained in her third grade-level history lecture, created the Great Society program, including “education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare, the Office of Economic Opportunity, and big labor and labor unions.”
