MTG calls reelecting Republicans for House majority ‘double-edged sword’ as she blasts Mike Johnson
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed her anger toward her party as she went on to claim that Republicans don’t “deserve to be reelected".
The 50-year-old politician appeared on Real America’s Voice show ‘War Room’ on Thursday, September 26, where she once again slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) amid their long-standing feud, as per The HuffPost.
Johnson reportedly prevented a pre-election federal government shutdown, which would have helped Donald Trump, much to the dismay of Greene. The House passed a three-month stopgap bill on Wednesday, September 25, to prevent a government shutdown.
Greene said, “I share the anger and frustration, and I don’t think Republicans deserve to be reelected to hold the majority. And it's a double-edged sword, and here it is.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses Mike Johnson of ‘funding' Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration
Marjorie Taylor Greene asserted, “I was right, I just was early on my motion to vacate on Mike Johnson, but everybody, everyone knows it now. Mike Johnson is not our Speaker. He is the Speaker for the Democrats.”
“And he has delivered that through his actions of fully funding the Biden-Harris administration, fully funding the weaponized DOJ, fully funding the FBI that had agents and was involved in January 6th and raided Mar-a-Lago and has raided a lot of January 6th defendant homes," she claimed.
Greene also supported Trump in her fiery speech as she noted, “We have to elect President Trump in order to control the federal government, in order to take back all of these huge agencies and departments and set the course right.”
“Look, vote for President Trump like your life depends on it, and then hold your nose and vote for that RINO that you absolutely hate, because we need a good tax code in place,” she added.
Greene said Republicans could "take these people out" in future primary elections. "Everybody in their district needs to pick one woman or man that they're going to get behind, and that's how you primary these RINOs."
What is Marjorie Taylor Greene’s feud with Mike Johnson?
The issue between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Johnson began earlier this year when Greene accused him of "betraying our conference and broke our rules" by passing a $1.2 trillion package to fund the government with more Democratic support than the Republicans.
In March, she even filed filed a motion to oust him. “This is not personal against Mike Johnson. He's a very good man. And I have respect for him as a person. But he is not doing the job,” she stated as per NPR.
Johnson then fired back at her by saying, as reported by ABC News, “I think that all of my other Republican colleagues recognize this is a distraction from our mission.”
Also, in April, he received Trump’s support who praised him for his “very good job”.
“He's doing about as good as you're going to do. And I'm sure that Marjorie understands that,” the former leader added.
Internet reacts as Marjorie Taylor Greene rants against Mike Johnson
Meanwhile, people online have reacted to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest attack on Mike Johnson.
A comment below the Raw Story article read, “You hear that people in Marjorie's district? She doesn't deserve to be re-elected! Out of her own mouth, she doesn't deserve to be re-elected! So please listen to her and DON'T vote for her. VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY DOWN YOUR BALLOTS!!”
The second comment read, “Hopefully, she'll be one of those that gets kicked out of office.”
An individual wrote, “Well, she spoke the truth there, whatever the reason was. GOP needs to be dismantled if the US is to survive.”
Another said, “MTG is right. And Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, GA-14) should be at the top of the list to go.”
A person remarked, “She's right that Republicans shouldn't be re-elected, but not for the reason she thinks. She thinks the party should be as deranged and extreme as she is. Republicans should really not be re-elected to national office because they unhesitatingly support the GOP over the law and the good of the country. Let her be the first to be ejected, hopefully without a parachute.”
“How about you help by resigning? As for Trump, we fired him. We're not re-hiring him,” another added.
