Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., cautioned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., about the potential ramifications of removing House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., in an interview with Newsmax on Saturday.
"She's unhappy with Speaker Johnson, obviously, as a lot of us are," Burchett said on "America Right Now."
"It's not a privileged motion. A privileged motion would have to be up in two days, and we would have actually stayed in Washington. It's a chess move, really, in a world of checkers. She can sort of pull at any time she wants. And so, you know, it's just a strategic move on Marjorie's part to do that," Burchett added.Greene and other hard-line conservatives expressed anger with Johnson's handling of the six remaining appropriations bills for fiscal year 2024.
