Marjorie Taylor Greene Roasted After Admitting Republican House Majority Failed; Continues Attacks Vs. Speaker Mike Johnson
During a town hall event in Georgia, controversial Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the quiet part out loud, "Our Republican House majority has failed completely," as part of her latest attacks on House Speaker Mike Johnson, whom she is currently trying to oust from the speakership.
"And I have had enough of it," added the controversial MAGA congresswoman who has gained infamy for her conspiracy theories involving the recent East Coast earthquake and eclipse, Jewish Space Lasers, and Barack Obama.
The recent target of her ire is Speaker Mike Johnson, a fellow far-right MAGA Republican, who, according to Greene, was not MAGA enough because he and other GOP lawmakers caved to Democrats on the budget.
As Yahoo! News noted, Greene was one of the Republican lawmakers who "tanked a bipartisan border bill that included funding for many conservative priorities." With her complaining about House Republicans failing in their duties while being one of the lawmakers that helped hinder better laws supported by both parties, she received a ton of criticism online.
I actually really love when they realize they've caught the car.

The entire brand of aggrieved politics. Complaining government isn't sustainable. Sabotaging government into non-functioning. Then being shocked at the results like this wasn't the plan. https://t.co/sd1cjXlcuV

Marjorie Taylor Greene Leading House Republicans Mad About Ukraine Aid by Mike Johnson
Greene has been accused of drama-baiting as she tries to overthrow Mike Johnson from the House Speakership, and one of the main things she has been attacking is Johnson's support for US aid to Ukraine.
The Hill noted that it is still not clear whether she is ready to force a vote or just use her filing as leverage against the embattled Republican speaker. However, it should also be noted that Greene may also be under pressure herself as her colleagues are trying to get her not to force a vote because it would create chaos just months before an important election.
Greene is leading the more hard-right members of the GOP, many of whom have been frustrated with Johnson agreeing with Democrats over giving more military assistance to Kyiv. Furthermore, Greene's actions in politicking could ultimately seal the fate of Ukraine, which recently lost ground thanks to an all-out Russian offensive.

Meanwhile, as Congress is about to return after a 2-week recess, Greene has ramped up her attacks on Johnson despite warnings from her colleagues. The Associated Press noted that this shows the "Republican chaos that has defined GOP House control and threatens to grind work to a halt."
"Today, I sent a letter to my colleagues explaining exactly why I filed a motion to vacate against Speaker Johnson," she tweeted on X. She added that she "warned Johnson not to reach across the aisle to Democrats for votes he would need to pass pending legislation" that her hard-right colleagues oppose.
"I will not tolerate this type of Republican 'leadership,'" she added.
