Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ongoing feud with fellow Republican Mike Johnson has reached new heights as she continues to push for his removal from the House speaker’s chair. Despite her failed attempt to bring down Johnson earlier this week, Greene remains steadfast in her criticism of him, accusing him of being “owned by the Democrats” during a recent interview on Fox News.
During the interview, Greene expressed her frustration with Republicans who she believes are not defending former President Trump, a sentiment she believes resonates with many Americans. She also highlighted the need for the GOP to prove to the American people that they are worth their vote, a challenge she believes the party has failed to meet under Johnson’s leadership.
Greene’s efforts to oust Johnson have not been well-received within the Republican party, with some members criticizing her for causing unnecessary disruption and chaos. Despite facing backlash from her own party, Greene remains determined to challenge Johnson’s leadership, even going as far as to ask him to defund the justice department’s special counsel overseeing investigations into Trump’s actions.
The feud between Greene and Johnson has now become a focal point in the lead-up to the November elections, with Democrats seizing on the division within the GOP to undermine their chances of winning control of the House. While Greene’s efforts may have failed to remove Johnson from his position, the ongoing conflict between the two Republicans continues to highlight the deep divisions within the party.
