Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced that she filed Articles of Impeachment against President Joe Biden on Thursday—just a day after he took office. 

“I just filed Articles of Impeachment on President Joe Biden,” she says in a short video posted to her Twitter account. 

“We’ll see how this goes,” she adds.

People online, however, think they already know exactly how it’s going to go. “It’s not going to go well,” Colin Hanks, son of Tom Hanks, responded.

“You’re the only person who doesn’t know how this is going to go. Bless your heart,” another said.

Greene followed up her video with a statement. In the statement, Greene reveals she is introducing impeachment articles against Biden for “his corrupt actions involving his quid pro quo in Ukraine and his abuse of power by allowing his son, Hunter Biden, to siphon off cash from America’s greatest enemies Russia and China.”

A spokesperson for Greene told the Daily Dot that she has filed the articles and will share them with colleagues before presenting them to the public.

Greene’s efforts to impeach Biden are a long shot as Democrats control both chambers of Congress.

Earlier in January, the QAnon-supporting congresswoman announced her plans during a Newsmax TV appearance.

“We have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies,” she said at the time. “So on January 21, I will be filing Articles of Impeachment on Joe Biden.”

People online similarly dismissed her announcement with jokes and memes. 

Greene is a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy, which claims that former President Donald Trump is embroiled in a war with “deep state” enemies, and has also been accused of racism, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia. 

The congresswoman is also busy trying to get the hashtag “ImpeachBidenNow” going.
