Conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene told Fox News on Monday that the Democrats have become a communist dictatorship spying on the American people.
Greene was responding to reports that the U.S. Treasury Department confirmed terms like “MAGA” and “Trump” were used in searches of private bank transactions.
“The Democrats are straight-up Communists,” MTG bluntly started.
“They have abused their powers, spied on the American people.”
“Think about the way they censor people, threw people off of social media — they used every ounce of power that they had, and it was all for political reasons,” she continued.
Greene also took aim at Republicans who voted with all Democrats last week against impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
In a tweet, Greene wrote:
“I’m calling on all Republicans to vote to IMPEACH Secretary Mayorkas tonight.”
“If we have trouble getting Republicans to D.C. because of the weather, we should hold the vote open as long as it takes to remove this traitor who has invited the invasion of America!”

Greene has been calling for Mayorkas’ impeachment for over a year due to his lack of action in combatting the millions of migrants flooding into the U.S.
Since Biden took office, some 10 million people have crossed into the U.S.
MTG also accused the DHS chief last week of lying to Congress more than 20 times about the ongoing border crisis.
“Here’s some of Secretary Mayorkas’s effective results: approximately 10 million illegal border crossers from over 160 countries have invaded the United States since President Biden took office and Secretary Mayorkas has started his job,” Greene said.
Since 2021, approximately 73,000 immigrants arrested at the border were identified as being “special interest aliens,” MTG noted, adding that the classification by DHS for persons whose travel habits make them potential threats to national security.
Greene also said the massive migrant surge has cost local governments more than $115 billion last year, while the federal government’s spending topped $182 billion.
“That is an unbelievable expense for the American taxpayers,” said Greene.
“So what are the results of Secretary Mayorkas’s job performance? He’s violated the Secure Fence Act of 2006 by not maintaining operational control of our border.”
“He’s violated the Immigration and Nationality Act. He has violated the INA by implementing catch-and-release policies when federal law specifically mandates the detention of inadmissible aliens,” she added.
“He’s violated the guarantee clause set forth in Article Four Section Four of the Constitution, which requires the federal government to protect states against invasion.”
MTG also blasted Mayorkas for defending his job performance.
“There have been over 20 occasions that Secretary Mayorkas has claimed that the border is either closed or secure starting even back in 2021 when he is on record stating the border is secure, the border is closed,” said Greene.
“He stated to Fox News’s Peter Doocy, ‘The border is closed.'”
“Then he stated again to congressman (August) Pfluger here on this committee. The congressman asked him. He said, ‘The border is secure. We are, we are executing our plan.’ As he stated to Congressman Pfluger, Secretary Maryokas said, ‘I have been very clear and unequivocal in that regard. Congressman, the border is no less secure than it was previously,'” Greene continued.
“He also stated to Congressman Michael Guest on our committee when he was asked by Congressman Guest, ‘Do you maintain today in light of the statements made by [former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz], the border is secure?'”
“Secretary Mayorkas replied, ‘Congressman, I stand by my prior assessment because indeed, I define it as maximizing the resources we have to deliver the most effective results,'” she added.
