Marjorie Taylor Greene trolled as she defends herself for endangering House majority amid GOP criticism
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: GOP Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene defended herself against criticisms from members of her own party while discussing her motion to remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, March 24.
The US Representative shared the conversation on X (formerly Twitter) while taking another dig at Johnson, accusing him of leading Republicans to a "complete catastrophe."

"People in your own party are attacking you saying we do not need more division," Bartimoro told Greene during the interview, pointing out that with Republicans such as Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher leaving Congress, the majority is in a more precarious position.
"Those people stepping down early and leaving are the ones that are leaving us at risk of the Democrats controlling the majority, not me," responded Greene, Fox News reported.
"I filed this motion to vacate, but I haven't called it to the floor. This is like issuing a pink slip, and giving out conference a notice saying that we have got to find a new Speaker. This may take weeks, it may take months ... it may not (happen until) next Congress, but Speaker Johnson cannot remain a speaker of the House," she said.
Greene further slammed Gallagher for leaving at a time when his district could not hold a special election to replace him, and called out Johnson for supporting the move.
Bartimoro later asked if Greene's efforts could hurt Donald Trump in the upcoming elections in any way, to which the Congresswoman replied, "Not at all. President Trump is overwhelmingly winning this election in poll after poll ... Trump would drag every Republican through the victory whether they deserve it or not."
Mike Johnson has barely been Speaker for 6 months and led us to a complete catastrophe by passing Chuck Schumer omnibus wishlist.

"Marge, You and your radical right-wing extremists in the House are the reason we don't have a border bill. You'd rather shut down the government than govern. Maybe it's because you have an aversion to doing the hard work of governance, which demands compromise," noted a fourth.
