Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizes Politico for referring to Mike Johnson as 'conservative speaker'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to slam a publication for referring to Mike Johnson as a "conservative speaker" on Thursday, March 28.

Greene's tirade was triggered by an article published by Politico, which examined how her efforts to remove Johnson from the Speaker's chair could lead to Republicans relinquishing control of the House.

Sharing a link to the Politico article, the US Representative for Georgia wrote, "Politico needs to issue a correction. It’s Uniparty Speaker Johnson, NOT 'Conservative Speaker Johnson.'"

"Look kids, it’s simple math," she proceeded to explain. "If Republicans keep leaving early then we will lose the House. Under Speaker Johnson, George Santos was expelled and a Democrat won his seat."

"Now under Speaker Johnson, Gallagher is leaving past the deadline for his district to hold a special election to replace him with another Republican from his red district."

"And under Speaker Johnson, the House just passed a two-part omnibus that gave Democrats everything they ever wanted and then some, by tying Republicans hands behind our backs and suspending the rules and NOT allowing us to make amendments," she continued.

"But hey if my colleagues want to defend Mike Johnson be my guest, but our voters feel differently. And by the way, don’t forget we have another government funding deadline coming on Sept 30th. What does everyone think that will look like?"

"Are you going to swallow that down before re-election in November or will it be another CR of the disgusting omnibus Johnson just crammed down our throats? Republican voters hate it," Greene concluded.

MTG received criticism from X for her rant, as evidenced by the following tweets.

"You overplayed your hand. You dont call for a motion to vacate when you know you don’t have the votes," wrote a user. [sic]

"Why don't you run for the Speaker's seat and keep calling for Decorum while everyone laughs at you?" mocked a user

"Lady, do you ever stop crying," jibed another person.

"FYI, you can't govern demanding 'it's your way, or the highway'. Governing consists of negotiating, and everyone getting SOME of what you want it's @HouseGOP MAGAs, that's running off their members. This should be a wakeup call for you all," commented a user. [sic]

"Republicans are leaving because of members like you. They said it. Your ridiculous impeachment crap" slammed another user.

"Republicans deserve to lose the House. Y’all can’t govern," stated another user.

"MAYBE, and I'm spitballing here, you people should try working with each other instead of throwing one another under the damn bus! You MIGHT have better retention that way," quipped a user.
