Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Kevin McCarthy ‘Doesn’t Have the Votes’ to Become Speaker if GOP Wins House
mediaite ^ | Nov 25 | By Alex Griffing

Posted on 11/25/2021 9:04:41 AM PST by RandFan

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has a podcast now, called Firebrand. He was joined by fellow pro-Trump stalwart Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who weighed in on the growing battle within the Republican Party — suggesting that House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) “doesn’t have the votes” to become speaker if the GOP flips the House in 2022.

Greene’s comments come on the heels of a recent report claiming that former President Donald Trump is keeping McCarthy on a short leash, leveraging his support for McCarthy’s speakership bid to keep him in line.

“I hope she is right. Both Mitch $ McCarthy have to go.”

Correct.

While Pelosi tears up State of the Union speeches and Schumer refers to any non-Democrat as a racist hatemonger, McConnell and McCarthy regularly refer to their “good friends across the aisle.”

Fewer Kinzingers and fewer MKG’s would be my preference. More serious conservatives like Jordan rather than RINO’s like Kinzingers or lightweight circus clowns like MKG.

They should give the gavel to The Donald.
Two years of Mr. Trump as speaker would make what ever pathetic is president miserable.

The elections aren’t for a year, no point in getting excited yet.

I don’t know who MKG refers to, but Marjorie Taylor Green is no lightweight.
Lightweights are people like Stefanik that talk a good game and assist the Democrats.

'Put Jim Jordan or one of the other Freedom Caucus members in as Speaker of the House. Then clean the house!'

I doubt any of those guys want it. It's far too easy to scream from the bleachers. Leading and getting votes isn't easy, even if it is failed leading.

Sorry, she is wrong. His 8+ hour speech just won him the job.But did his 8+ hour speech change anything? I don't hear any whooping and hollering as a result of his speech.

Whatever. I call her a lightweight because she’s more interested in trolling the left than actually defeating that. Either that, or she’s just too dumb to realize those two things are not the same.

We can’t defeat the left when more than half of “our” team is playing for the other side.

Jim Jordan has been approached to run for the Speaker position numerous times since the Obama era. Jim finds some reason to turn it down every time.
I don’t think he wants to be the point man for what some consider a thankless job. Some have liked being Speaker of the House to herding cats.

Bring Newt back. The speaker does not have to be an elected member of the House.
