'Powerless, neutered': Greene accuses Congress of being 'totally controlled' by White House

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a scathing critique of the federal government on Sunday, March 1, characterizing Congress as "powerless, neutered," and "totally controlled by the executive branch."

Her remarks came amidst a major joint US-Israeli military operation dubbed 'Operation Epic Fury', which she claims had been executed with a blatant disregard for legislative oversight.

Greene alleged that the White House "didn’t even bother to inform Congress" of the specific reasons behind the attack on Iran.

Furthermore, she claimed that the administration failed to adequately brief the 'Gang of Eight', the group of top lawmakers responsible for receiving sensitive intelligence, noting that only five out of the eight members were barely informed of the mission.

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Congress a 'complete waste of time'

Describing the current state of the legislature as a "complete waste of time," Greene argued that the executive branch's dominance was the primary reason so many lawmakers were choosing to leave their positions.

She asserted that Congress was merely obeying the White House rather than serving as a co-equal branch of government.

Greene warned that the administration's "bully" tactics and name-calling would not last forever.

She claimed that anyone who dared to disagree with the administration, even on a few issues, was quickly labeled a "panican" or a "traitor," a dynamic she believed was causing the American people to "stop caring."

Skepticism over the War Powers Resolution

The former congresswoman expressed deep skepticism regarding the impact of any upcoming legislative checks.

While acknowledging that there should be a vote on the War Powers Resolution (WPR), she cautioned that even such a measure wouldn't "stop the admin from doing whatever they want to do."

Greene's comments suggested a belief that the administration had reached a level of unilateral authority where it no longer felt bound by Congressional mandates.

She emphasized that this disregard for traditional democratic processes would ultimately alienate the coalitions necessary for future Republican electoral victories.

Alienating the Republican voting base

Greene concluded her message with a warning to her own party and the administration, stating that they could expect coalitions to "go out and vote for Republicans again" if the current pattern of behavior continued.

She believed that the public’s apathy was a direct result of being ignored and bullied into agreement.
