Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared crestfallen Thursday as the House of Representatives was no closer to electing a new speaker, saying,"our conference is broken."
The firebrand Republican has made a name for herself in Washington by making controversial statements and, at times, deploying an antagonistic attitude. But she was not one of eight Republicans to vote for the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy , which has left the House speakerless to this day.Greene: We owe the American people an apology pic.twitter.com/dC0WAaiLtA"I'm supporting Jim Jordan and voting for him, but I have to tell you, our conference is broken.
McCarthy was the first House speaker in United States history to be ousted from the position. The vote left the House leaderless, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan have been unable to whip enough support to their respective causes.The fights for support have showcased the differences between various factions of the conservative conference, but it is not so simple as all hard-line Republicans having one pick and all centrists having another.
The friction also comes at a most inopportune time. The U.S. is seeking to provide further aid to Israel and Ukraine, as well as bolster up its southern border, all while a possible government shutdown looms in the middle of November.
