The House is back in session Tuesday after a two-week-long Easter recess, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is ratcheting up her attacks on Speaker Mike Johnson in a letter to her Republican colleagues on Tuesday in an effort to convince them to join her call to remove him from the House's top job.
The Georgia Republican's five-page letter outlines the way she believes Johnson is failing the party including his "total surrender to" Democrats and their agenda and his shift away from Republican ideals when it comes to providing aid to Ukraine.
"I will not tolerate our elected Republican Speaker Mike Johnson serving the Democrats and the Biden administration and helping them achieve their policies that are destroying our country. He is throwing our razor-thin majority into chaos by not serving his own GOP conference that elected him," Greene wrote in the letter.
"With so much at stake for our future and the future of our children, I will not tolerate this type of 'leadership,'" Greene later wrote in the letter. "This has been a complete and total surrender to, if not complete and total lockstep with, the Democrats' agenda that has angered our Republican base so much and given them very little reason to vote for a Republican House majority."
