Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) warned attendees at a conservative conference in Florida on Sunday that President Joe Biden is a Democrat socialist who wants to complete the work started by Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson by addressing issues such as education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation. Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare.

Greene said Biden wants to complete 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: socialism, Greenesaidin remarks at the right-wingTurning Point Action Conferencein West Palm Beach.

Roosevelt and Johnson created some of the most popular social safety net programs in the United States, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Medicare and Medicaid, programs that provide health insurance to Americans over the age of 65 and low-income Americans, respectively, are also overwhelmingly popular. Johnsonsignedboth of the programs into law in1965.Fifty-seven percentof Americans have a favorable view of Medicare, while 51% have a favorable view of Medicaid.

Under Biden, the Democratic-controlled Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which allocated billions tofix roads and bridgesacross the country,expand access to high-speed internet, andmodernize public transportation. The Democratic-controlled Congress also passed theInflation Reduction Act, which included provisions to lower insurance premiums and prescription drug prices, andgavetax incentivesto Americans to transition to green energy or make energy-saving improvements to their homes.

A Data for Progresspollin February found both of Bidens landmark pieces of legislation are overwhelmingly popular. More than three-quarters of voters, 76%, support the infrastructure bill, while 68% support the Inflation Reduction Act.

Democrats said Greene was actually helping Biden with her comments.
