'Shameful!' MTG attacks Mike Johnson for 'horrific' choice to keep government open
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tore into House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on the right-wing Real America's Voice streaming channel Tuesday, calling the funding bill to keep the government open "horrific" and "shameful."
Her attack came shortly after she threatened to call a motion to vacate Johnson from the speakership — the same procedure that toppled Kevin McCarthy last year.
"We have a Speaker of the House right now, with Mike Johnson, that is supporting Joe Biden's policies," said Greene. "He just funded a brand new FBI building for the FBI that invaded Mar-a-Lago.
"Mike Johnson just funded the Department of Justice that is weaponized, going after Donald Trump, and going after and arresting new January 6 defendants every single day. Mike Johnson is funding the wide open border, funding the invasion of America, and funding the murder of 300 Americans every single day from fentanyl."

"We have got to have a unified Republican conference next Congress, if we're lucky enough to even win the House, because let's be real, the work that has happened here under House Republicans, this vote that just happened, passing this government funding ... this is exactly what we cannot have under President Trump's next administration," she added.
This is the latest in a long string of complaints Greene has made against the leadership of Johnson, a right-wing Christian nationalist hardliner who was voted in after weeks of chaos following the McCarthy ouster, but who has been forced to work with Biden as a reality of governing.
Earlier this month, after another funding bill was passed, Greene raged that Johnson has "led us to a complete catastrophe."
