Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she would call a vote next week to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, marking the latest chapter in an intraparty struggle between hard-line conservatives and the GOP’s governing wing.

Greene’s decision to move forward with the long-shot effort, over many Republican colleagues’ objections, came after more than a month of holding the threat over the leader’s head and pushing him to quit.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she would call a vote next week to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, marking the latest chapter in an intraparty struggle between hard-line conservatives and the GOP’s governing wing.

Greene’s decision to move forward with the long-shot effort, over many Republican colleagues’ objections, came after more than a month of holding the threat over the leader’s head and pushing him to quit.

I don't understand why she is doing this now. The Democratic leadership in the House has released a statement, saying that they will vote to table the motion. The only reason that the MAGA caucus was able to oust McCarthy was that the Dems went along.

MoscowMargie has to know that there are more than enough Republicans (RINOs, I guess) who will vote to table the motion as well, which, combined with the Dems, will kill it.

Is she just overreacting to the criticism and bad press she's been getting lately and taking as a dare the statements of a few of the less insane Republicans Trumpists who have called her out on the issue.

Not that long ago, people were referring to her as some sort of defacto Speaker, without whose support, nothing could happen. Now, she seems to be becoming a pariah even in her own party.

Greene believes she'll Own the Libs and the RINOs by forcing them to vote together, which will "prove" the existence of the Uniparty(tm).

Both factions will have the same message for their respective bases: "We voted against the distracting motion and instead choose to prioritize fixing American's problems."

Now, she seems to be becoming a pariah even in her own party.

As long as a majority votes for her in her primary, she'll get more than she could ever otherwise hope for.

She just wants her name in the news. No such thing as bad publicity...

This. Getting her name in the News is all she has. She has achieved nothing else in 2 terms in Congress. She is probably the least powerful member in the chamber, and would be seen as such if people just opened their eyes and ignored her shit.

I hear a lot of folks saying she's "stupid" she's not. She has effectively taken over the House with her control over the Speakership. If the Speaker gets any work done, he is done.
She's a thug.

[AndyinPA]

Maybe not stupid, but certainly uneducated, despite her college degree.

[Suranis]

No, you don't get it. She knows she is spouting bullshit. If you think she actually believes half the crap out of her mouth you are not seeing her as she truly is. You are falling into her confidence trick.

Bullshit is the commodity she produces, and the media and social media are her willing consumers. People who don't want to believe she has a brain do it because they are too addicted to feeling superior because of her. And that's the trap that her brand of thuggery thrives on. If people took her seriously she would be easy to crush.

Instead, she has a huge profile even though she has done sod all, because people cant bring themselves to waste their firepower on "a moron." And peoke enjoy feeling smug about her so they don't want her to go away. So she is left there to fester.

That's why George W Bush won, making people believe he was stupid so they would underestimate him. He wasn't stupid, though he was intellectually lazy.

If you think she is actually a moron you are part of the problem. She has no talents, no accomplishments, but she is not stupid, nor is she "uneducated." Get away from the high of the smug feeling you get from her, admit the woman is clever like a snake, and you would see she would be easy to get rid of and that you need to.

She has a collage degree. Or maybe it's collagen degree. Call Age? (who names their kid Age? what a cross to bear.)
