She’s still bound and determined to oust the Speaker of the House.

Well, remember when we thought Marjorie Greene might finally be backing down?

Yeah, that certainly didn’t last long, and frankly shame on me for even considering that she might actually let it go when it comes to attempting to oust the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

John Bowden with The Independent writes:

“…Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has signalled that significant divisions between her and fellow Republican Mike Johnson remain as she spoke about her failed attempt to bring down the House speaker earlier this week.

On Wednesday, Greene brought her long-awaited motion to vacate to the floor in an effort to remove Johnson from the speaker’s chair. It failed spectacularly, with 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats voting to kill her resolution.

But she appeared unable to move on during an interview with Fox News on Sunday where she accused Mr Johnson “of being owned by the Democrats” after the rival party voted to protect him.

Americans are “fed up with Republicans that will not defend President Trump”, Rep. Greene told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures…”
