Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia is not one to back down from a fight, and she’s proving it once again. This time, her sights are set on none other than House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Greene made it clear that she’s ready to take action if Johnson doesn’t willingly step down. She’s introduced a motion to vacate the chair, a move that would effectively force a vote to remove Johnson from his position as Speaker of the House.

Now, Greene isn’t just shooting her mouth off here. She’s got a plan, folks. She’s making sure she’s not jeopardizing the GOP’s control of the House, and she’s timing her move with the utmost respect for her Republican colleagues. She’s also got some backup in the form of influential conservative Rep. Thomas Massie from Kentucky, who has hopped on board with Greene’s efforts.
But why all this fuss over Johnson? Well, Greene has a laundry list of gripes against him. She’s not too happy about his spending plan, his FISA legislative snafu, and his general knack for breaking important Republican principles, like the “Hastert Rule.” She’s not mincing words when she calls out Johnson’s actions as a betrayal to America First conservatives, President Trump, and the Republican Party. And she’s not wrong—Johnson’s recent push for a joint press conference with Trump, despite their policy disagreements, has left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
But Greene’s not just doing this for some attention or fundraising stunt. She’s grounded in her mission to support Trump and ensure a strong Republican majority in the House. She’s being careful and strategic in her approach, and she’s not about to let anyone paint her as another chaotic force in Washington.
So, as Greene goes to battle, it’s clear she’s not one to be trifled with. She’s got her eyes on the prize, and she’s not backing down until she gets what she wants. And in politics, that’s a rare and refreshing sight to see.
