Far-right Republican congresswoman says she is ‘absolutely’ calling vote on motion next week and thinks vulnerable Democrats could be hurt by supporting Mike Johnson
Greene said she thought voting on the motion to remove Johnson, which at this point does not appear to have enough support to succeed, would help Republicans maintain their slim majority in the House after the November elections:
I’m gonna tell you, at over $34t in debt, with millions and millions of people invading our country and an economy that I don’t even know how is staying afloat because every business owner I know has been suffering, and people fed up with the drama on television and fed up with the fighting and fed up with the bullshit from Washington DC, are ready for a Republican majority that’s ready to support President Trump and his agenda in January of 2025. And I’m happy to deliver that vote for everyone next week.
I can’t wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican speaker, and have to go home to their primaries and have to run for Congress again, having supported our Republican speaker, a Christian conservative, I think that’ll play well. I’m excited about it.
[I] also can’t wait to see my Republican conference show their cards and show who we are. Because voters deserve it. Is the Republican party … have they finally learned their lesson? Have they finally heard the message from voters back at home? Are they willing to actually fight? Are they going to just keep going along to get along? Because it’s really easy to do that in Washington DC.
