Rep. Marjorie Greene (R-Ga.) said on Saturday that she had received a call from former President Donald Trump during which he expressed his support.
She didn’t elaborate on the details of the call.
Trump’s office did not respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times.
Democrats have hyped up attacks against Greene, a staunch supporter of Trump’s policies as president, after she filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden on the first full day of his presidency.
She vowed that she will not back down.
“I won’t back down. I‘ll never apologize. And I’ll always keep fighting for the people. For me, it’s America First!!!” she wrote.
“America Last policies are policies for sell outs and losers,” she continued.
The newly-elected congresswoman announced that she had introduced the articles of impeachment against Biden on Jan. 21.
“Her very presence in office represents a direct threat against the elected officials and staff who serve our government, and it is with their safety in mind, as well as the security of institutions and public servants across our country,” Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) said in a statement.
In announcing his resolution plans, Gomez claimed that Greene has supported Facebook posts that called for violence against prominent Democratic leaders. Greene has also expressed support for the QAnon movement, which has been labeled by the mainstream media as a fringe conspiracy theory.
QAnon follows clues from cryptic messages posted to anonymous imageboards. A prominent aspect of the theory alleges that global elites are part of a satanic pedophile ring.
Gomez hasn’t yet indicated when he will be introducing the resolution to expel Greene.
Greene also is facing pressure from the Republican side as the Democrats have been pressing House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to remove Greene from her committee assignments.
“These comments are deeply disturbing and Leader McCarthy plans to have a conversation with the Congresswoman about them,” Bednar reportedly said in a statement.
