White House condemns Marjorie Taylor Greene threat to shut down government

Georgia Republican demands Biden impeachment inquiry as government funding due to run out on 30 September

The White House condemned the extreme" and hardcore fringe" of the Republican party after one high-profile, hardcore extremist, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, said she would not vote to fund the government this month without an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.

Without a new spending measure, government funding will run out on 30 September, with federal workers furloughed and agencies shuttered.
