- GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Joe Biden in a recent speech.
- She compared Biden's agenda to that of former President Lyndon B. Johnson and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
- The Biden campaign ultimately used part of Greene's speech in a campaign ad published Tuesday.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene unexpectedly became the narrator of an official advertisement for President Joe Biden's reelection on Tuesday.
On July 16, Greene spoke to a crowd of activists at the Turning Point Action conference in Florida, where she tried to attack the 46th president, comparing him to former President Lyndon B. Johnson and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The Biden Administration clearly enjoyed Greene's comments — the White House's official Twitter account mocked Greene later after her speech.
"Caught us. President Biden is working to make life easier for hardworking families," the White House account tweeted.
Days after Greene's attempted attack on Biden, he tweeted out a new campaign advertisement centered around Greene's speech.
"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 can be heard saying in the advertisement.

The Biden administration ialso ncluded a snippet from her speech where Greene discussed the initiatives from Johnson's "Great Society."
"Programs to address education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, labor unions, and he still is working on it," Greene said in her speech.
Greene has been an outspoken critic of Biden since before he officially became president in 2021, pledging to file articles of impeachment against him before he officially became president. She's since followed through on several occasions, though the House has yet to impeach him.
