'As mature as her idol': Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked as she refuses to accept blame if Hakeem Jeffries becomes speaker

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene washed her hands of the possibility of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries becoming the speaker after she filed a motion to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from office last week, reported The Hill.

In an appearance on conservative cable channel Real America's Voice on Tuesday, March 26, the GOP lawmaker from Georgia said, "I am not going to be responsible for Hakeem Jeffries being Speaker of the House."

Greene, a staunch Trump ally, filed the motion against Johnson's speakership after the House passed the $1.2 trillion package to avert a government shutdown.

Her move came as the GOP-led House survives on a razor-thin majority against the Democrats, which will soon be 217 to 213 after Rep Mike Gallagher's early resignation becomes effective in April.
