Marjorie Taylor Greene Says People Who ‘Meddle in Democratic Elections Should Be Nowhere Near Public Office’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tore into USAID administrator Samantha Power during a speech on the House floor, Wednesday, during which she argued that “a person who abuses her position in government to meddle in democratic elections should be nowhere near public office.”
Introducing an amendment to reduce Power’s salary to one dollar, Greene claimed, “Samantha Power is a globalist, left-wing activist who uses government positions to force the regime’s views on the American people and the rest of the world.”
She continued:
Under Samantha Power, USAID has installed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion advisers in all bureaus, offices, and overseas missions, and created an agency-wide dashboard and D.E.I scorecards to track staff compliance with the administration’s DEI directives. These blatantly political scorecards demand ideological conformity and should have no place in the government workplace or elsewhere.
Furthermore, Samantha Power has repeatedly met with influential left-wing foundations while serving in the role. According to nearly 700 pages of internal calendar entries obtained by Fox News, Power met with George Soros’ Open Society Foundation multiple times. Of course she did. She also met with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation at least five times. She also held meetings with several other powerful groups, like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations. Power’s intimate association with these entities exemplifies how the Biden administration, its officials, and agencies keep close contact with left-wing outside groups who help execute extreme policy initiatives.
When Samantha Power served as Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations, she made hundreds of requests to intelligence agencies to unmask names associated with the 2016 Trump campaign in order to support the Russia hoax narrative. For her activism, the Biden administration granted Samantha Power a permanent suit on the National Security Council, a more prominent role than the USAID administrator she has had under previous administrations.
Greene – who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election and supported former President Donald Trump’s claims that the election was rigged – declared, “A person who abuses her position in government to meddle in democratic elections should be nowhere near public office.”
She concluded, “Instead of fulfilling her role as an administrator, Samantha Power is focused on imposing a left-wing agenda throughout the entire U.S. government and its proxies around the world.”
Trump infamously attempted to overturn the 2020 election and is under indictment in two jurisdictions over those efforts.
