Showing Original Post only (View all)Greene says she won't take blame if Jeffries becomes Speaker [View all]
The HillRep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that it is not her fault if House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is promoted to the Houses top role after she filed a motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from the position last week.
Greene pushed back on criticism that her motion against Johnson could result in Jeffries being elected Speaker due to the dwindling GOP majority in the lower chamber. She argued that Republican lawmakers who have cut their terms short and left office are the true ones to blame, not her.
Its just a simple math. The more Republicans, like Mike Gallagher, that resign and leave early guess what, that means we have less Republicans in the House, Greene said Tuesday on Real Americas Voice, a conservative cable channel. So, every time a Mike Gallagher or a Ken Buck leaves early, that brings our numbers down and brings us dangerously closer to being in the minority.
Its not Marjorie Taylor Greene that is saying the inconvenient truth and forcing everyone to wake up and realize Republican voters are done with us doing this kind of crap that we did last week, she added.

I figure if Jeffries becomes speaker, we might have the votes to expel Empty

Her actually taking blame isn't important. She's one of the ones that is helping make it happen.

I agree. It's the fault of voters who gave such feckless and unserious people the house majority in the first place.
