BETAThis is a BETA experience. You may opt-out by&nbsp;Mar 10, 2021,New!Got it!Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) drew bipartisan ire on Thursday after she called for a vote to adjourn the House of Representatives in an attempt to delay final passage of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which is on track to be approved by that chamber and sent to Biden’s desk to be signed into law.The motion to adjourn did not pass, and the House began two hours of debate on the bill’s final passage at around 10:15 a.m. EST.Greene’s motion reflects widespread opposition to the $1.9 trillion stimulus package among Republicans, many of who believe the legislation is too expensive, given the pace of economic recovery, and contains provisions they view as unrelated to the coronavirus crisis.But the motion was met with opposition from 40 Republicans, more than double the 18 Republicans who her motion to adjourn last week, a sign of growing frustration with her tactics among her own caucus.&nbsp;Democrats were vocal in their opposition to Greene’s move, with Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) blasting it as “unconscionable” and accusing Republicans of trying to “delay getting aid to the people, including their constituents, who are in desperate need.”Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) told reporters he plans to propose a rule to bar members not serving on committees from proposing motions to adjourn, emphasizing that he was “dead serious.” The rule would only affect Greene, who was last month over past comments she made promoting QAnon and other conspiracy theories and advocating violence against prominent Democrats.“$1.9 trillion in spending is reckless, irresponsible and the wrong thing to do,” Green said on the House floor ahead of the chamber’s scheduled debate on the stimulus bill. “This Congress is ramming through unbelievable things at a rapid pace. . . . This is a waste of money and a complete waste of time.”Greene has taken controversial positions on other issues in Congress, including the that were installed in the U.S. Capitol following the January 6 attack on the building, which she compared to voter suppression. She received from both sides of the aisle after she targeted Rep. Marie Newman (D-Ill.) on Twitter over Newman’s transgender daughter and hung an anti-transgender sign outside her office. Greene was at one time an ardent and vocal supporter of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, though she has since attempted to from it.&nbsp;(Forbes)(Forbes)(Forbes)(Forbes)
