Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bluntly warned Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday that moving ahead with an aid package for Ukraine would be one of the most egregious things he could do as she said she was not backing off at all over her threat to force a House vote seeking his ouster.
In a phone interview with CNN, the Georgia firebrand said GOP voters were furious at Johnson over his recent deal-cutting to keep the government open and suggested that she wouldnt accept any package that included more funding for Ukraine in its war against Russia, even if it included some border security provisions.
The congresswoman, who plans to speak with Johnson on Friday, warned against moving any Ukraine bill with significant Democratic support under a process known in the House as suspension of the rules a practice Johnson has employed repeatedly for must-pass bills amid deep divisions within the GOP ranks.
Let me tell you, when he forces that vote, again, under suspension with no amendments, and funds Ukraine and people find out how angry their constituents are about it, thats going to move the needle even more, said Greene.

(7,451 posts)It seems like she has already assumed the Chair. I don't think that Johnson has much chance to retain it. How many more Repubs do we need to resign before Jefferies gets it? If this lowlife beech gets Johnson ousted so SHE can get nominated, if I were him I'd take several Repubs with me and foul her plans up. She wants to fall on her knees in front of Trump, anyway, make her pay. Loss of the House would sure make her look bad. What Committee is she on?
