Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Congress 'Utter Failure' Ahead of Steve Bannon Contempt VoteRep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) deemed Congress "an utter failure" just before the House voted to hold former President Donald Trump's ex-adviser Steve Bannon in contempt.
The House held Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol by a vote of 229 to 202 on Thursday afternoon. Nine Republicans joined with Democrats in favor of the contempt charge, while Rep. Greg Pence (R-Ind.), former Vice President Mike Pence's brother, abstained from voting. Shortly before the vote was held, Greene lashed out at Congress on Twitter.
"Congress is an utter failure," tweeted Greene, a staunch ally of Trump who has made multiple recent appearances on Bannon's War Room: Pandemic podcast. "Total. Complete. Failure. They don't care about you. Your family. Your job. Your security. Or your freedoms. They only care about themselves. They make me sick."

(90,761 posts)It's an unfortunate fact but still a fact.
She is a member of Congress.
Which, by her own words, makes her a complete and total failure that only cares about herself.
Oh, she can attempt to clarify her statement all she wants - she still said it like she said it - directed at the whole of Congress. Which includes her.
Though I can understand her confusion about her role in Congress since she serves no purpose there.
