Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene aired speculative concerns regarding Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent political actions, suggesting a potential blackmail situation to explain what she perceives as a radical departure from his known conservative stances.
It can be recalled that the Georgia Congresswoman filed a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker thanks to his actions over the House Omnibus bill, which will fund the government until September 30.
The legislation passed by a 286-134 vote, achieving the necessary 2/3 vote to avoid a government shutdown. Democrats bailed out Johnson after over 100 members of his caucus rebelled.
During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show on Wednesday, Greene expressed bewilderment at Johnson’s recent legislative decisions, which she argues starkly contrast with his proclaimed values and the expectations of his conservative base.
“Mike Johnson has made a complete departure of who he is and what he stands for, and to the point where people are literally asking, is he blackmailed? What is wrong with him because he’s completely disconnected with what we want?” asked Greene.
Carlson probed further, asking directly if Greene believed Johnson was indeed being blackmailed.
Greene, though expressing uncertainty, highlighted drastic changes in Johnson’s actions that she finds inexplicable. “I have no idea. I can’t comprehend what radically changes a man,” she responded.
Greene added:
“I mean, if we break down the the second part of basically an omnibus. Let’s break that down. So Mike Johnson is pro-life. And the second part of the omnibus, just less than two weeks ago, he funded full-term abortion clinics, full-term abortion clinics. He funded the trans agenda on children. I mean, how does that even happen from a Christian conservative Republican speaker?
He did nothing for the southern border and did nothing to secure the border. And this comes on the heels of Laken Riley being brutally murdered. This came on the heels of a video that was running on loop on social media, where illegal aliens had rushed our border, ran over Texas National Guard, ran over Border Patrol agents in order to invade our country. These were military-age men, by the way. He did nothing to secure our border. It’s the number one issue in the world.
He completely changed who he was, funded the FBI, gave them a brand new building, fully funded the Department of Justice that is persecuting everyone on the right and actually targeting a presidential candidate for election this year. Literally trying to put him in jail for the rest of his life. We don’t know who Mike Johnson is anymore.”
Was it because of sexual peccadillos in his background?
Wanna bet he’s gay (bi). The Republicans come to Joe’s rescue every time. This is like a coyote that takes in chickens and nurses them. He’s doing what he’s told.

exactly-nut case for attention
Johnson’s knife in our backs may have been the coup de grâce not only of the Republican Party, but of America. That bill just reeks of sulfur from the pit of Hell. Completely undermines the Republic. There’s so much crap in it we won’t hear the end of how it was one gargantuan weapon against America.
This is nonsense.
Dude - that was a total hit-piece on Greene from NewsLeak’s utterly biased editors and shouldn’t be used as a reference. Distortions, quotes out of context, insinuations and outright lies. These propagandists posing as journalists now days have no conscience, moral compass or sense of shame.
Prostitutes and actors used to be held in society’s lowest regard but I think these people, as a group, may have taken the lead.
Makes you wonder if the democrats that *rebelled* and voted against the party were given permission to in order to get him in, knowing they had dirt on him to be able to control and blackmail him.
Interesting post and thread.
Leftists are masters of deception. Johnson is not the only sleeper in the Republican Party. Soon the Democrats will gain control of the House. Intel official Rudd claims the government will kill Trump. In any case he will never take control of the government unless he is also a sleeper.
MTG has very accurate, incisive radar.
SO what she questions bears close scrutiny.
How have the oeft gotten to the Speaker?
It has to be extortion of his family some how.
We need to see it clearly and MTG also likely knows that both the CIA, and the FBI are involved.The Deep State is at work.
Remember the 10000 fbi files in the Clinton White House, trivial compared to today’s ability of the govt to surveil, think of st Valentine’s Day “massacre” where seven gangsters were gunned down. Not even a notable day in Chicago these days. They gather info on every one, and on a scale the Clinton’s could only dream of.
Polititians tend not to be the most moral and ethical people so there are lots of skeletons in their closets.
I am sure each and everyone of them have revived a phone call or a note about exposing xyz, if they don’t comply. Roberts is a good a candidate as I can think of.
Trump is fighting all of this, as has been said the process is the punishment
A govt with nearly unlimited resources can destroy anyone if they wish, Flynn comes to mind.
As the soviet kgb said show me the man I will show you the crime.
It is tragic
Sadly I think green is no more free of being controlled as anyone, and that she is just playing her part.
If not I am sure she would have already been invited to ft Marcy park.
Ally has been made about Ukraine corruption and money laundering, and I am sure much is true, but with 34 trillion and debt, I think Ukraine is just the shiny object to gather attention, and truth be told a minor sideshow in the world of corruption and money laundering
Just my 2 cents
“Oh please”???
You think democrats are above blackmailing people?
Of course he is being blackmailed.
A politician can be "blackmailed" for voting for ugly bills just in the normal given and take of political life. Or perhaps it is a small collection of things that look unappealing when assembled together or even a threat based on a lie that can't be disproven publicly (because the "dis"-proof is confidential or even classified).
Politics is a dirty business...even for honest people. And MTG might be seeking revenge for McCarthy.
Maybe they have pictures of Gallagher sledgehammering watermelons
And don’t forget to thank our biased media.
If that’s what her instincts are telling her then they should also be telling her that she’ll regret it if she’s wrong,
