Ex-House Republican Slams ‘Moscow Marjorie’ Taylor Greene: ‘Always Focused on Her Social Media’

Former Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) does not agree with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s assessment that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is a “serious legislator.”

Over the weekend, McCarthy told Fox News, “The one thing I’ve always found about Marjorie – she’s a very serious legislator that deals with policy, and the best way to deal with anyone like that is sit down and talk to ’em.”

Buck, who quit Congress in March, joined Monday’s OutFront on CNN to discuss.

“You’ve worked with her more recently, ” host Erin Burnett said to Buck after airing McCarthy’s remarks. “Does what he say add up to you at all?”

Buck acknowledged that McCarthy may have more experience discussing policy with Greene, but noted her history of incendiary ploys in the House, including filing articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden. He also cited Greene’s vehement opposition to aid to Ukraine as it fights an ongoing war with Russia, which invaded in February 2022.

“My experience with Marjorie is, people have talked to her about not filing articles of impeachment on President Biden before he was sworn into office, on not filing articles of impeachment that were groundless made on other individuals in the Biden administration,” he said. “And she was never moved by that. She was always focused on her social media account. And Moscow Marjorie is focused now on this Ukraine issue and getting her talking points from the Kremlin and making sure that she is popular and she is getting a lot of coverage.”
