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.”
Things that go bump in the night...
This is why they went after The Cleanest Guy In Washington, Donald J. Trump.
They ain't got nothing on him.
Look at me.....Look at me....
Dead girl [Joe Scarborough] or live boy [Ol’ Bugeyes Schiffty]?
Speculation about blackmail almost seems designed to mollify those of us who object maybe to feel sympathy for the ‘blackmailed’.
Regardless of whatever excuses are offered including the slim GOP majority in the House the money for Ukraine has consequences for GOP House and Senate candidates not in MTG’s league.
Dave McCormick for US Senate here in Pennsylvania Adios.
MTG is 100% correct.
How come the pubs “never” blackmail the dirtbag “D’s?” Trust me, they’d have a field day but when you haven’t a spine,this is what you get.
Green is right. At the very least there are a handful of hard core never Trump rino traitors who have threatened to hand the House over to the rats if they don’t get what they want. I am convinced of that.
Buck and the other traiter Gallagher that just screwed the country? Makes you wonder.
Oh please.

When rats 🐀 are blackmailing Republicans, isn’t it usually because the Republicans have sexual peccadilloes in their history?
What about you... What about you?
An earlier pubbies speaker was revealed to be making big monthly payments just under the bank notification requirement, as blackmail payments, ITGRC.
Shouldn’t assume “Blackmailed’ without some sort of suspicion... Could be that he is Bought, or has been a ‘Decepticon’ from the start.
Yea that. Narcissism not conservatism.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was most likely blackmailed.
Probably something to do with the black kid they adopted. That was a youthful and misguided good deed. It will not go unpunished.
It’s just a coincidence that the Republican leader in the House and Senate both work for Democrat interests and initiatives? What are the odds?
i may not know the what... but i’m pretty sure i know the where
