Self-described conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ripped President Joe Biden and his State of the Union address last night, calling him out of touch with regular people reeling from inflation and poor leadership.
Quoting the mother of one of the 13 American service members killed in the withdrawal from Afghanistan, she called Biden a “dementia-ridden piece of crap” who has been compromised on the world stage by revealing secrets on his son Hunter’s laptop.

In her retort to the president’s speech, the Georgia Republican said, “For four years, our country had a real leader that led America and the entire world to peace through strength. But now, we have a mentally incompetent, feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap, to quote Kathy McCollum, who is still grieving the loss of her heroic son, Rylee McCollum, one of the 13 killed in our chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.” The lawmaker delivered her retort in front of a banner reading “Women for America First.”
She added, “The president of the United States is totally compromised, because every world leader has the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop and much more to blackmail him. So it’s no wonder America’s weak. We do not have a president that can defend our country. We have a president that puts America last because he is literally serving China, Russia, and the world.”
Greene has long been critical of Biden, and her address was a “greatest hits” of the sort of complaints Republicans, especially Trump supporters, have with Biden.
While the president talked about supporting troops, fixing border problems, and other issues, Greene, in a reaction separate from the official GOP reaction, challenged the president’s view.
She also chased after some in her own party, notably Rep. Liz Cheney, who have been critical of the former president.
