Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) recently spoke on her efforts to shine a light on Speaker Mike Johnson’s power-sharing agreement with Democrats. Greene announced her intention to force a vote on a motion to vacate after House Democrats pledged to protect Johnson’s speakership. She emphasized the need for transparency in where lawmakers stand on this issue.
Greene criticized Johnson for aligning with Democrats and pushing their agenda, betraying the Republican majority given by voters. She highlighted Johnson’s policy decisions, including passing a two-part omnibus bill favored by Democrats, reauthorizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act without warrant requirements, and allocating billions in aid to Ukraine and other countries, potentially aiding Hamas.
She expressed concern about the upcoming funding deadline and the possibility of Democrats extracting more concessions from Johnson. Greene warned of the dangers of further aligning with Democrats and stressed the need for Republicans to hold their leadership accountable.
She urged her colleagues to act now and not wait until after the next election, emphasizing the urgency of fighting for the Republican and America First agendas. Greene emphasized the struggles facing everyday Americans and criticized weak Republicans in Washington for not standing up to the Democrats.
Greene plans to force a vote next week to reveal where representatives stand on holding Johnson accountable and fighting against the uniparty. She encouraged Americans to pay attention to who supports Johnson and who is willing to take action to address the issues facing the country.
