Marjorie Taylor Greene
Johnson’s allies in House GOP leadership moved immediately to table her effort—a vote that passed with overwhelming support on both sides of the aisle.
Her announcement comes one day after top Democrats said they’d rally to protect the House speaker.
Democratic leaders announced their intention to shoot down MTG’s motion to vacate—and “turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction.”
There’s exhaustion and anger in the GOP over Rep. Greene’s push to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, but the conditions for a revolt are slowly coming into place.
“I’m embarrassed to have actually lived geographically in her district at one time before she was there,” Sen. Thom Tillis said on CNN.
“They aren’t gonna back off of what they are doing. They literally want him dead.”
Greene fumed over Johnson’s alleged offenses, culminating in the Ukraine vote, which she called “this bullsh*t in here on the House floor.”
