Taylor Greene Files Motion to Oust Speaker Johnson Over Funding Bill

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion on Friday to remove Mike Johnson from the speakership over the government funding bill.

“The House would have to consider Greene’s motion within two legislative days after she is recognized. The chamber is heading for a two-week recess, and Greene told reporters she would not call up the resolution on Friday, which means the clock to force a vote has not started,” Axios reported.

“After Greene filed the motion, she was swarmed by her Republican colleagues. A source close to the conversations told CNN that a number of fellow GOP lawmakers were trying to convince the Georgia Republican not to bring the motion. Two of the lawmakers who were there, GOP Reps. Barry Loudermilk and Kat Cammack were observed to be in an extended conversation with Greene,” the outlet added.

Greene later spoke to reporters.

“Short of getting the votes necessary, how can you find someone to succeed Mike Johnson who can get the votes and keep the conference together and not plunge the chamber into chaos?” she was asked.

“It’s because the country is in crisis. We have a border invasion happening every single day. People under 30 years old have lost hope for their future. The younger generations cannot afford to buy homes, and inflation is running rampant,” she said.

“Our country is in crisis, and we need real leaders who know how to fight and know how to walk into the ring and do not get rolled by the deep state, or by the Democrats, do not get rolled into doing whatever it takes to maintain that power and position. We need a Speaker of the House that actually represents the people. This is not Washington, D.C., this is the people’s house,” she added.

“I have respect for him as a person, but he is not doing the job – and the proof is in the vote count today. He passed a budget that should have not been brought to the floor and it was passed with the Democrats and without the majority,” Greene said.
