Biden White House turns Marjorie Taylor Greene into She Who Must Not Be Named

If President Biden's strategy of giving his political rivals, this time a far-Right freshman House Republican, the silent treatment seems familiar, that's because he's deployed it before.

During the post-election transition period, Biden tried to avoid mentioning former President Donald Trump by name in an effort to downplay his predecessor's 2020 election result challenges. And now his aides are using a similar tactic to try muting inflammatory Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

But just as questions were raised about the effectiveness of ignoring Trump before his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the same concerns are being expressed about Greene, particularly regarding her influence on the far Right as Washington, D.C., stays on high-security alert with thousands of National Guard troops positioned around the city.
