Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's remarks about a schedule for an impeachment investigation of President Joe Biden were deemed "absurd" by Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., a member of the extreme conservative House Freedom Caucus, in an interview with "Inside with Jen Psaki" on Sunday.

In a video published online last month, Greene declared she wouldn't back any government funding bill unless the House voted to formally launch an impeachment investigation into the president. Last weekend, however, Greene changed the tone of her post on X, now known as Twitter, saying that "Our country deserves for Congress to vote for an impeachment inquiry for very important reasons, not a rush impeachment vote."

When asked by Psaki to comment on Greene's change in strategy regarding a vote to launch an investigation into Biden's impeachment, Buck pointed out that the far-right lawmaker first submitted articles of impeachment against Biden shortly after he took office, saying that "the idea that she is now the expert on impeachment or that she is someone who should set the timing on impeachment is absurd."

"If there is evidence connecting Vice President Biden to a serious crime or misdemeanor, then that is the time for impeachment," the speaker said. Right now, that doesn't exist," he remarked. "And it's really something we can commit to doing in February," she continued. It is based on actual events. You follow the facts wherever they lead.

Rep. Ken Buck of the GOP deems Marjorie Taylor Greene's remarks on the timing for the Biden impeachment investigation ludicrous. "If there is evidence connecting Vice President Biden to a serious crime or misdemeanor, then that is the time for impeachment," the speaker said. That doesn't exist at the moment, according to Buck, a conservative House Freedom Caucus member.

The Republican Party should not prioritize impeachment, Buck continued, pointing out that numerous congressional committees are looking into Hunter Biden's overseas business transactions but have not yet discovered a "strong connection" to the president.

The "perfect storm" that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy must navigate in order to pass both a short-term budget bill and a vote to impeach Vice President Joe Biden was then discussed by Buck. Right-wing supporters of McCarthy are revolting against a stopgap measure meant to avoid a government shutdown and buy more time for talks with the Senate.

On the one hand, he remarked, "we have to adopt a continuing resolution. The impeachment matter is another concern. Additionally, we have House members who care about policy problems, including my dear buddy Chip Roy. They demand a guarantee of some sort of border security in the form of riders or modifications in the spending bills.

"So you take those things together, and the speaker, Kevin McCarthy, has given different groups pledges on each of those topics. And now it's all due at once," he continued, pointing out how challenging it was to pass a continuing resolution with only Republican votes. And so, "I think that is really the issue that I think will cause him problems down the road if he reaches across the aisle and gets Democrat votes that goes with a higher number than he has promised before."

Buck, however, predicted that McCarthy would ultimately hold onto his speakership, despite those challenges due to the lack of people willing to step up and take his job.

“I don’t see anybody else that really has risen up and is willing to take on this job,” he said. “Having a five vote majority — you wouldn’t wish that on your worst enemy in terms of being speaker of the U.S. House. And so it is very difficult for him to operate the House in a way that keeps everybody happy.”

“I think there will be challenges, but I don’t see anybody stepping up and say, I’ll take Kevin’s job,” he added. “So I think that’s really what saves Kevin is the lack of enthusiasm from anybody else to do the job.”

Buck’s comments come months after he confirmed that Greene had been booted from the House Freedom Caucus, citing her repeated “attacks” on GOP colleagues.
