The Georgia Republican says she's “not backing off” from her motion to vacate Mike Johnson, likening the speaker to Nancy Pelosi.
However, the Georgia Republican may not be bluffing. In an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju Wednesday, Greene said she is “not backing off at all” from her push to oust Johnson if he passes Ukraine funding, calling his proposal to turn the foreign aid into a loan a “steaming pile of bullshit.” “He’s literally turned into Mitch McConnell’s twin and worse,” Greene said of Johnson. “He’s a Democrat.” “There’s not even any daylight between him and Nancy Pelosi at this point,” Greene added.
“Nobody cares what Marjorie Taylor Greene says or thinks,” fellow right-winger Bob Good told CNN last week. “And she’s a one-man show. She’s grandstanding, and she wants attention.” But Matt Gaetz’s pursuit to oust Kevin McCarthy began as grandstanding, too; it ended with McCarthy losing his gavel and giving up his seat.
