Writing on Twitter, Greene made the claim as part of her push to get Fauci fired as America's top infectious disease expert.

"We must pass my bill, The Fire Fauci Act," she wrote. "No one elected Dr Fauci. He is the highest paid federal employee. At his direction, shutdowns and masks are ruining our country, for what appears to be a man made virus that Fauci paid for with our money."

Trump, a guy who's never won the popular vote, twice impeached, rated the worst president ever, serially corrupt, a traitor, rapist, racist, gave the GOP a perfect out on Jan 6. They could've easily just turned the page. But instead they said, "Nope, we'll stick with him." - David Rothkopf

Biden Claims He's Seen No Evidence that Unemployment Benefits are Discouraging People from Returning to Work

Biden Claims He's Seen No Evidence that Unemployment Benefits are Discouraging People from Returning to Work

Frequent viewers of cable news television have heard repeated claims that the reason why unemployment numbers remain at the very high level of six percent, is that unemployment benefits are discouraging people from returning to work. President Joe Biden aimed to squash that idea, however, during a midday address about jobs and government assistance to help a cratered economy emerge from the ill effects of Covid-19.

Let's fire all these Republicans so they can see how good unemployment benefits really are. - Tea Pain tweet

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Monday said he warned House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) that his words would lead to violence on Jan. 6 but that his concerns were brushed away.

“A few days before Jan 6, our GOP members had a conference call. I told Kevin that his words and our party’s actions would lead to violence on January 6th,” Kinzinger wrote in a tweet.

Right now, it's basically the Titanic. We're in the middle of this slow sink. We have a band playing on the deck telling everybody it's fine. Meanwhile, Trump's running around trying to find women's clothing and get on the first lifeboat. - GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger
