After the vote, Massie shared on Twitter the full text of Greene’s resolution, which criticized Johnson’s actions during his tenure as Speaker. The resolution highlighted various instances where Johnson failed to uphold his promises and work in the best interest of Republicans.
Overall, Greene and Massie’s efforts resulted in a failed attempt to remove Speaker Johnson from his position. The resolution outlined the reasons why they believed Johnson’s tenure was detrimental to the Republican Party and the country as a whole.
