On January 13, the US house of representatives gathered to debate the second impeachment of President Donald Trump. Republican representative from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, voted against the impeachment while wearing a mask that said “Censored”. Nonetheless, the House votes to impeach Trump by the vote of 232 against 197. The debate ended with Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing the charges and making Trump the only president in US history to be impeached twice.
Greene also shared a video on Twitter calling the impeachment “Democrat’s witch hunt” adding that she proudly voted NO.

In a tweet, Greene has now revealed that she plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on January 21, a day after he was sworn in as the President of the United States.
On January 21st, I’m filing Articles of Impeachment on President-elect @JoeBiden.
75 million Americans are fed up with inaction.
It’s time to take a stand.
I’m proud to be the voice of Republican voters who have been ignored. #ImpeachBiden#QuidProJoe #BidenCrimeFamily pic.twitter.com/E83s1iOoVF
