Marjorie Taylor Greene Prepares to Unleash Chaos on the House
The Georgia Republican is finally calling for a vote on her motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Two months after announcing it, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she’s finally going to file a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Jonhson sometime next week.
“Next week, I am gonna be calling this motion to vacate,” Greene said at a press conference Wednesday morning, calling Johnson a “uniparty” lawmaker for getting the Democrats to back him and claiming that the “American people need to see a recorded vote.”
Greene filed a motion to vacate in March after Johnson worked with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate to pass a $1.2 trillion omnibus bill, torching him for accomplishing one of the legislature’s primary annual responsibilities: funding the government.
In the months since she announced her intentions to undermine the Republican House leader, Greene has had just a small handful of GOP defectors join her.
In a Tuesday interview on NewsNation’s The Hill, Johnson threw his own shade at Greene.
“Bless her heart,” the Louisiana lawmaker said when asked if he considers her a serious lawmaker. “I don’t think she is proving to be. No. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about her.”
This is a developing story.
