Over the weekend Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked President Biden for following FDR and LBJ's visions.

The White House and Karine Jean-Pierre responded.

Over the weekend, the Congresswoman, Majority Leader Taylor Greene, criticized Bidenomics as being in line with FDR's creation of Social Security, and Lyndon Johnson's creation of Medicare.

She also bizarrely attacked Bidenomics because it's reducing poverty in rural areas. We agree with her all around, all around on this.

We are opposed to rural poverty, and the President is committed to protect Medicare and committed to protect Social Security, as you heard from him over and over again over the past several months.

Now, to be fair, we are aware of her misgivings about Medicare and Social Security because she's a member of the Republican Study Committee, which recently, again, proposed cutting those very benefits.

But this is the first time that we are aware of being attacked for trying to reduce rural poverty, although we probably should have seen that coming since Majority Leader Taylor Greene or Marjorie Taylor Greene is also trying to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, policies that are responsible for high-paying manufacturing jobs coming back to her own district.

Now, President Biden looks forward to visiting her district, as you've heard him say many times before, to highlight those good-paying jobs and the differences that they are making in the lives of real people on the ground.

Nuff' said.

The White House Twitter account also trolled Greene:

And of course, last week the man himself had a chuckle at Greene's expense.
