Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene explains that she will not force the motion to oust Speaker Johnson, but it is a warning. The clock has started, and it is time for our conference to choose a new Speaker. She said she won’t force it at this time because she has no wish to throw the House into chaos and put members in difficult positions.
She hasn’t announced a timeline but said the conference must look for a new Speaker.
What she isn’t saying here is that it greatly handicaps the Speaker. However, she says the entire bill was led and decided by Chuck Schumer, and the House had no role. They couldn’t even file amendments.

This is actually too late; when the SOBs first half dozen acts as Speaker were in service to a foreign, enemy nation [israhell] then he shoulda been fired and tarred and feathered immediately.
After the lobotomy does it hurt to pick up the crayon and write those pitiful rantings or does your minder have to do it for you? Or are you just a gender studies major from Harvard?
I completely understand her frustration. There are only a handful of Republicans who I admire. The rest of them are RINO’s . . democrats in sheep’s clothing. Both parties SUCK!
Time for him to go and find his place at the trough.
Johnson failed America. The house originates spending bills, according to the Constitution. Johnson did not try to amend. That is weakness and collusion.
A real leader, an oath follower, accepts risking their career to stop the invasion of America. Others pretend to be trampled.
He’s not doing his job competently enough to be of any use. So he must resign or be made to resign and replaced by someone that can do the job. Simple as that. I agree 100% with her assessment. The timing is a crucial factor.
