Biden White House feeling 'unbridled glee' at seeing MAGA diehards getting key committee spots [View all]

Multiple far-right Republicans -- including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) -- have landed coveted spots on the House Oversight Committee.

However, Politico reports that members of President Joe Biden's White House appear to be far from intimidated and are actually feeling "unbridled glee" at these appointments.

"Privately, the president’s aides sent texts to one another with digital high fives and likened their apparent luck to drawing an inside straight," the publication writes. "One White House ally called it a 'political gift.'"

Another Biden administration official told Politico that the MAGA House Oversight Committee members are “extreme and crazy, yes, and easy to dunk on in the media," which could benefit the White House politically.
