Greene Threatens to Oust Johnson Over Spending Bill
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia began the process of calling for a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson after he pushed through a $1.2 trillion bipartisan spending bill.
-
Today I filed a motion to vacate after Speaker Johnson has betrayed our conference and broken our rules. We were promised regular order. That’s what our conference had started out as, with rules and promises to the American people that we would bring regular order back to Congress. The bill that we were forced to vote on forced Republicans to choose between funding to pay our soldiers, and in doing so, funding late-term abortion. This bill was basically a dream and a wish list for Democrats and for the White House. I filed the motion to vacate today, but it’s more of a warning and a pink slip. I respect our conference. I’ve paid all my dues to my conference. I’m a member in good standing, and I do not wish to inflict pain on our conference and to throw the House in chaos. But this is basically a warning, and it’s time for us to go through, through the process, take our time and find a new speaker of the House that will stand with Republicans and our Republican majority instead of standing with the Democrats.
