Marjorie Taylor Greene Files Motion To Oust Mike Johnson As House Speaker

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to oust Mike Johnson (R-LA) as House speaker on Friday.

Greene filed a motion to vacate the speaker as tensions flared over a vote on a $1.2 trillion spending bill, according to The Daily Caller. Johnson spearheaded negotiations over the bill, the last chance to avoid a government shutdown.

Greene spoke out against the bill from the House floor on Monday morning.

“No Republican in the House of Representatives can in good conscience vote for this bill. It is a complete departure from all of our principles,” Greene said. She specifically mentioned provisions of the bill that deal with abortion and border security.

“This bill will absolutely destroy our majority, and will tell every single one of our voters that this majority is a failure. This is the bill that the White House cannot wait to sign into law,” she said.

Greene reportedly did not mark the resolution privileged, a procedural tool that would then require House leadership to schedule a vote on the motion within two legislative days. She may mark the resolution as privileged later, however.

Johnson took over as House speaker after former California Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the role by a small group of disgruntled Republicans led by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz in October. Johnson took control of the fractured majority after several failed rounds of internal voting to find a Republican who could unite the conference.

Matt Gaetz ‘Unleashed The Demons’ In GOP When He ‘Drove Kevin McCarthy Out,’ Newt Gingrich Says

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) blames the current House GOP dysfunction on Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.

Gingrich appeared on Fox News on Friday with host Laura Ingraham to bemoan the chaos that has fractured the House Republican caucus and which threatens to oust the second Republican speaker since October. He said trouble within the caucus has contributed to a series of early departures within the GOP that has made its slight majority even smaller.

“We shouldn’t underestimate how bad what Matt Gaetz did was for the whole system. He unleashed the demons. He went after somebody who had raised $480 million, had gained seats for three elections in a row. He drove Kevin McCarthy out of office,” Gingrich said, according to Mediaite. “From that point on, it has been a disaster.”

The incredible shrinking majority, WSJ edition

Scott Johnson

Mar. 25 2024

Let us continue to deliberate over the political genius of Matt Gaetz and his allies as they leads House Republicans into the minority. The Wall Street Journal comments in the editorial “Honey, we shrunk the majority” further to my own thoughts:

    [T]he same Members who undercut the majority boast on the House floor and social media that they are the only honest conservatives in Washington. They’re posers masquerading as principled, and they’re treating the voters at home like rubes.

    Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion Friday to oust Mr. Johnson as Speaker exposes the deception behind the coup against Mr. McCarthy. After we criticized that October coup as destructive and self-serving, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz wrote us a letter saying that in electing Mr. Johnson the GOP now had a real conservative as leader.

    So what’s wrong with Mr. Johnson now? Apparently because he’s not willing to indulge kamikaze acts like shutting down the government, Mr. Johnson is a sellout too.

Oh, yeah, I know. RINOs! GOPe! Uniparty! I concede I may be missing something, but I’d prefer to have a majority that can do something to block the Biden regime than a minority that can’t do anything.

Matt Gaetz isn't the one quitting and trying to throw the House to
the democrats. Kevin McCarthy, Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher
are the ones betraying republicans. And of course these losers
led the charge to remove George Santos. That was utterly stupid.

Powerline seems to have a soft spot for dishonest RINOs who have
done so much damage to the GOP. But mean tweets...

In some cases over the last couple of years, the candidates that have lost have been candidates that Trump has picked, bucking the State Party. I would suggest that in most cases the State Party knows their State and the candidate that would run best in their State. Sometimes Trump is as bad at picking candidates as he is Cabinet members.

In many races The Primary IS the race (I live in one of those). I others its a Crap Shoot. When someone says they have a degree in Political Science...I Laugh and Laugh.

Also for many people its all about Ideological Purity. It seems to me too many people on  our side are bound and determined to make The GOP 1. Ideologically Pure, 2. A Minority Party.

TRUMP on SPEAKER JOHNSON: “We're getting along very well with the speaker. And I get along very well with Marjorie. We have a Speaker. He was voted in, and it was a complicated process. And I think very it's not not an easy situation for any Speaker. I think he's doing a very good job. He's doing about good, as you're going to do. And I'm sure that Marjorie understands that.”
