Marjorie Taylor Greene Stands Defiant as Fellow Republicans Continue Slamming Her Over Failed Mike Johnson Ouster Attempt
Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting continually railed on by her fellow Republicans after her stunt to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson failed miserably as Democrats sided with him. Other House Republicans have already called her Moscow Marjorie over her vehement opposition to the Ukraine aid bill, while others made fun of her Jewish space lasers conspiracy theories and her often anti-semitic rhetoric.
"You can be productive, or you can be destructive, Ms. Taylor Greene is choosing destructive," South Dakota Republican Rep. Dusty Johnson told reporters on the Capitol steps regarding Greene. "Most of us by the time we turn 12 years old figured out the tantrums don't actually work, but apparently not everybody in Congress got the memo."
"Moscow Marjorie has clearly gone off the deep end, maybe the result of a space laser," added New York Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, joining the many others piling on the infamous and controversial Georgia congresswoman.
"But this type of tantrum is absolutely unacceptable, and it does nothing to further the cause of the conservative movement," Lawler added. "The only people who have stymied our ability to govern are the very people that have pulled these types of stunts throughout the course of this Congress to undermine the House Republican majority."
Matt Gaetz, who butted heads with Greene earlier, also dunked on Greene. However, many pointed out his hypocrisy as he is the one behind the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which previously threw the entire US government into chaos.
"I voted to table the motion for one principal reason - with a two-seat majority in an election year I believe 2-3 Republicans could be susceptible to bribes to resign or even vote for a Democrat," he said on X, though he was making excuses for not going with his far-right allies. "Democrats would then instantly deem Trump an 'insurrectionist' to bar him from the ballot. House Republicans must do better. We must be led better. We must return Trump to the White House."
Marjorie Taylor Greene Backed Down But Remains Defiant Despite Other Republicans' Criticisms
Although it is her Republican colleagues who are slamming her for the chaos she caused, Greene is standing defiant but slammed Democrats instead, according to BBC.
"Democrats voted to save Johnson because they knew it was impossible to take control of the House," she said on X. "They want to keep Johnson because he's given them everything they want... The good news this morning is now the American people have been shown the truth."
Marjorie Taylor Greene Slams Fox News, Say They Want to 'Murder Tucker Carlson'
Greene appeared on Steve Bannon's podcast, where they took aim at Fox News, which openly criticized Greene for her Mike Johnson ouster attempt.
"You got to remember Fox News that literally fired Tucker Carlson, the number one cable TV news host in the nation," she told Bannon. "Tucker, who was basically the voice of everyone, that's the Fox News that refused to cover me calling the motion to vacate."
"Fox News wants to control what Republican voters think and the control and the information that they give you is the establishment Republican Party view, the Bush view, the Cheney view, the same view that led us into the Iraq War claiming that there was weapons of mass destruction," she added. "...And that's why Fox News attacks Steve Bannon. That's why Fox News attacks Charlie Kirk, and that's why Fox News would love to murder Tucker Carlson, and that's the reality. And that's why Fox News is losing viewers because I think you guys are smart."
