Republican Party Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is absolutely appalled by the amount of taxpayer dollars being spent on prosecutions that she believes are 100 percent politically motivated and wants to find a way to fight back against the assaults launched by the radical left to try and take down former President Donald Trump.
And, according to The Western Journal, she’s planning to do so getting special counsel Jack Smith defunded. Hey, that’s a great way to strike back at these big government thugs. Nothing gets the attention of the left like taking away their money.
“Smith was named last fall to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation and ultimate prosecution of former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents. He also was given carte blanche to investigate whether there was obstruction of justice in connection with the Capitol incursion on Jan. 6, 2021,” the report said.
“Although Smith has secured a 37-count criminal indictment against Trump in the documents case and the current federal fiscal year’s budget has long been approved, Greene said it was never too late to fight back,” it continued.
“This morning, I’m writing an appropriations rider to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation,” she stated in a post published Monday on Twitter. “I will not vote for ANY appropriations bill to fund the weaponization of government. I hope every one of my Republican colleagues will join me.”

I will not vote for ANY appropriations bill to fund the weaponization of government.
I hope every one of my Republican colleagues will join me.

MTG posted another tweet, saying, “We have to use the power of appropriations to stop the weaponization of government. I’m introducing an appropriations rider to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation. Where are the investigations into true criminals like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton?”

There was also a video posted of Greene delivering a powerful statement on the House floor earlier this week.
“Today, I’d like to announce that I’m writing an appropriations rider to defund Jack Smith, special counsel, his office and the investigation,” she remarked. “This is a weaponized government attempt to take down the top political enemy and leading presidential candidate of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”
“We cannot allow the government to be weaponized for political purposes. I’d also like to ask all of my colleagues to join me in this effort. We have to use the power of appropriations to stop the weaponization of government, especially in light that we know that there are others who are guilty of true crimes,” the congresswoman went on to say, making a reference to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s now infamous email scandal and the classified documents that were discovered in President Joe Biden’s garage.
Back when Smith was first appointed to be special counsel, he was given a budget of his own that he could use to hire staff to help him with his work.
GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida was a big fan of Greene’s idea, saying, “ENDORSE!!!! This must happen.”

James Bradley, who ran as a Republican candidate for Senate in California, is onboard as well.
“She’s the only one who seems to have our back in this fight. So again I stand with Trump, MTG and any other Republicans brave enough to fight the Biden administration’s hostile takeover of America,” he said on Twitter.
“I don’t know if this will work, but I celebrate the creativity of this initiative!” another Twitter user went on to say about the strategy. “We need Republicans to get every bit as creative as the Democrat Rat Finks & shove back twice as hard!”
I don't know if this will work, but I celebrate the creativity of this initiative!

Let’s hope Greene gets some traction in her attempt to hold the left accountable for their actions.
