Greene, Speaker Johnson to meet amid ouster threat
The Hill ^ | 05/06/2024 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Posted on 05/06/2024 9:27:49 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will meet with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Monday afternoon as the Georgia Republican vows to force a vote on the GOP leader’s ouster, two sources familiar with the matter told The Hill.

The meeting is set to take place at 3:30 p.m. EDT, one source said. Greene requested the conversation, the source noted.

Greene announced last week that she would move to force a vote on Johnson’s ouster this week, after dangling her motion to vacate resolution over his head for more than a month.

Her effort, however, is all but sure to fail. A growing number of conservative Republicans have said they do not support the motion to vacate, despite their frustrations with the Speaker’s recent legislative moves, and top House Democrats said they will vote to table the removal resolution if Greene calls it to the floor for a vote, two dynamics that are eroding support for Greene’s gambit.

She has been a loud mouth disruptor since she joined the house. Bet she was a pip in kindergarten....and all through her school years.

I hope he can convince her that what she sees with her EYES is not true and there’s some 4D chess going on. Because, so far, Johnson is proving himself a complete trojan horse for the left, selling us out at every turn.

I’m beyond grateful for her exposing this sellout POS. You should be too but...I guess you like leftist policies being shoved down our throats.

She’s more conservative than Trump.

People who practice 4D chess are vanishingly rare. People who exhibit cowardice, stupidity and/or a complete lack of principle are far more common. Occam's Razor tells me Mike Johnson is in the latter category.

I really don’t want Johnson ousted, as much as I’ve come to dislike him, but there is nothing wrong with making these threats to keep him aware of his errors and hopefully have him wise up.

Yeah. Those disruptors are the pits. Much better to have the Pubs all be Assistant Democrats.

I like the way MJT votes, but that is all. She is not helpful when it comes to governing. Republican’s majority is paper thin. Nearly impossible to further an agenda.

Or it may be that SOTH Johnson is trying to keep a hair thin majority patched together until the November elections.

A majority that includes a conservative minority.

Which means most members of his party favor compromising with the Left - and are willing to resign and throw the House to the Democrats rather than yield to the MAGA faction.

Herding cats would make his job look easy.

agreed

the House of Reps will choose the next President of USA in case the Democrappic Party’s ETM (election theft machine) fails to decide it for some reason or other

Is there a better alternative than keeping him in the job at least until the election is over?

Quite right.

MTG may well be playing the less difficult "Dynamic Remote Chess Without a Board".

She would be relying on a handful of strong principles, her experience as a hog hunter and her instincts as a "mama bear" personality.

Like it or not....things have to get done. Johnson separated the pkgs into separate deals. It was the only way to go. More people support Ukraine at this point in time. The vote tells the story. She’s a PITB.

Her criticisms of Johnson are right on target. And if it turns out that she DOESN'T force the vote to vacate she will be right again.

This meeting is all about saving face.
Johnson will give her some kind of concession verbally, she’ll avoid the embarrassment of having her motion scrubbed, and they’ll all go to an after work party together.

Says who? I certainly hope you have a source that's more then a complete zero like yourself.
