A video released by President Joe Biden using comments made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to tout his administration’s accomplishments has received over 30 million views in 12 hours.
Biden’s video received the second-highest number of impressions of any of his videos since he was inaugurated, according to statistics first shared with the Hill. It came only behind the president’s reelection campaign video, which was released in April. The video mocking Greene received more than 200,000 shares and more than 2 million engagements as of Wednesday morning.
The video uses comments that Greene made while delivering a speech at Turning Point USA blasting the Biden administration. However, Biden’s team mixed the comments with uplifting music and added photos and videos of the president and Vice President Kamala Harris to give it the appearance of a campaign video. The video ends with the Biden-Harris logo.
“I approve this message,” Biden wrote when he tweeted out the video.

“Joe Biden had the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs, that is actually finishing what FDR started, that LBJ expanded on, and Joe Biden is attempting to complete,” Greene said in her speech this weekend. “Programs to address education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, labor unions, and he still is working on it.”
The White House took time to highlight Greene’s comments on Monday, flipping the remarks intended to be an attack on Biden’s views into an endorsement of the president’s agenda.

“I’m sure she’ll be very shocked that I’m saying this, but we agreed with Marjorie Taylor Greene, which is not something that we say very often,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, listing Greene’s comments on Bidenomics and Medicare.
“We agree with her all around on this. We are opposed to rural poverty,” Jean-Pierre continued. “And the president is committed to protect Medicare and committed to protect Social Security, as you heard from him over and over again over the past several months.”
