This incident marked \u200cthe second time \u200dit has happened \u200dthis summer. Greene wasted \u2063no \u200btime\u200c seizing\u2064 on the situation, using \u200cMcConnell&#8217;s example to \u200cadvocate for\u200c age limits in Congress. \u2064She also highlighted\u2062 other \u200bpoliticians who suffer from mental ailments, emphasizing the \u200cneed for change.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Severe aging health\u2062 issues and\/or mental\u200d health incompetence in our nation\u2019s leaders\u200b MUST\u2063 be addressed,&#8221; Greene passionately stated. &#8220;Biden, McConnell, Feinstein, and Fetterman \u2064are examples of people\u2063 who are not fit for office, and it\u2019s time to be serious about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greene didn&#8217;t stop \u2063there. She went on to criticize the friends and family of McConnell and other politicians, expressing her belief that they should be &#8220;ashamed&#8221; for\u200b enabling and allowing these individuals to remain in\u200c office. The stakes, according\u200c to Greene, are nothing less than our country&#8217;s national \u2064security.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We are talking about our \u2064country\u2019s national security, and it\u2019s all at stake!\u2063 The 25th amendment and other measures need to be on the table,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Interestingly, Greene&#8217;s statement found support from \u200can unexpected source.
