Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is doubling down on her commitment to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), saying his days in the leadership position are “numbered” as House members await a potential privileged vote on a motion to vacate.
Greene last month filed a motion to remove Johnson, saying he crossed a line by holding a vote for additional Ukraine aid. Two other GOP lawmakers have already backed it — enough votes to remove the Speaker if all Democrats vote with her — though Democrats have generally opposed her effort.
“Permanent funding for Ukraine is exactly what they want and Mike Johnson will give it to them,” Greene said Sunday in a post on the social platform X, referring to Ukrainian leadership and the Biden administration. “Peace is not an option for them because it doesn’t fit the government appropriations war business and economic model, which is vile and disgusting.”

Hakeem will come to his rescue. Combined with the other GOP members, he will survive.
They are going to screw around until they have Jefferies for Speaker..
Johnson is now number 3 in the Dem Party.
He’s looking to sew up 10 year funding for Ukraine boondoggle.
Will be interesting to see what happens. I suspect the dems will throw johnson under the bus and with the help of the communist RINOs, they will put Jefferies in. It’s too tempting not to. They will be able to issue amnesty and ban guns and most importantly, pass a resolution that Trump incited an insurrection. Quite simply, the country will be lost at that point.
She’s just Putin’s whore.
Greene says Johnson’s ‘days as Speaker are numbered’ because she is proving to the public that she is the principle [ or one of them ] reasons why the GOP cannot govern and will cause the public to vote Dem for the House. And so Johnson’s days will be numbered. As will hers, as she returns to a back-bencher with no power, no press.
True "Republicans" are those who provide occasional tax cuts in exchange for adopting the entirety of the Democrat agenda from five years ago.
Yes, we get the occasional fiery speechifier like that idiot with the folksy drawl and funny hair and now the Cuban-Canadian who can grannyspeak, but that's about it.
Wait till after the election.
If we’re not careful, Mitch might retire, too! Perish the thought.
We might need to give them both personal Ukraine packages.
This.
Johnson is a traitor and needs to be replaced ASAP. Whatever happens is his fault for betraying the country and his constituents.
why waste the time. reps will not have a majority after the 24 election anyway. So all hail the dullard face of speaker Jefferies.
They are using Ukraine to give it all away, and Ukraine is going to lose, but the Money is the vital thing to them.
Traitor Johnson goes well beyond Ukraine, he sent money to Hamas, he made sure the FISA doesn’t apply to Congress but normal Americans have no protections.
He’s working for the Dems on all fronts. Give him a briefing, and wait for the money spigot to spray.
the rinos and narrative control cubicle seem to reign here now..
once they ensconce themselves and intimidate, bully and use their rino mod to silence us magans , they will quit donating too.
r.i.p free republic.
“She’s just Putin’s whore.”
And Putin has a lot of them. His main mistress during the past two decades was gymnastic champion Alina Kabaeva but information about her is so closely controlled that it is not known for sure whether she has three children by Putin or two. What is known is that now she seems to have lost out to other love interests and she must make do with her multi-million-dollar properties in Switzerland and elsewhere.
maybe i spoke too soon
sure hope so !
I liked her more before she became a star.
Actually it's Chip Roy and Massie who want to move now to vacate. Greene has indicated that she will reluctantly wait until after the election.
You should trash Roy and Massie, not Greene.
Make it so, MTG!
