White House Denounces Marjorie Taylor Greene's Threat to Shutdown Government

The White House has condemned Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for threatening to shut down the government unless an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden is initiated. The government funding is set to run out on September 30, and without a new spending measure, federal workers will be furloughed and agencies will be closed. The White House spokesperson criticized the "extreme" and "hardcore fringe" of the Republican party, stating that triggering a government shutdown would harm the economy, disaster preparedness, and military pay. Greene, a conspiracy theorist, has also called for funding to be withheld from special counsels investigating Trump and Hunter Biden. Other hard-right Republicans have also threatened to vote against government funding. The White House is urging Congress to prevent a government shutdown and is requesting additional funds for disaster relief efforts.
