Greene, Speaker Johnson to meet amid ouster threat
The Hill ^ | 05/06/2024 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Posted on 05/06/2024 9:27:49 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will meet with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Monday afternoon as the Georgia Republican vows to force a vote on the GOP leader’s ouster, two sources familiar with the matter told The Hill.

The meeting is set to take place at 3:30 p.m. EDT, one source said. Greene requested the conversation, the source noted.

Greene announced last week that she would move to force a vote on Johnson’s ouster this week, after dangling her motion to vacate resolution over his head for more than a month.

Her effort, however, is all but sure to fail. A growing number of conservative Republicans have said they do not support the motion to vacate, despite their frustrations with the Speaker’s recent legislative moves, and top House Democrats said they will vote to table the removal resolution if Greene calls it to the floor for a vote, two dynamics that are eroding support for Greene’s gambit.

In the few months left until the election this traitor will destroy this country. How could you stand next to this communist Jeffries and have a smile on your face, spit.

Full speed ahead, MTG.

Yes and she puts her money where her mouth is. A rarity in the Republican party.

She’s only been in politics for a short time. Most of her life was spent working for daddy. She just said what she thinks will work for her and a couple boot lickers.

She is exposing Johnson like opening one’s eyes expose the sun.

Our whole universe knows of Benedict Johnson.

Pres Trump being the leader of our party chose to ignore it.

You should be too.....I guess you are more informed than him.

You are hopefully aware that Mike Johnson has now come out and said he wants to retaliate against the Republicans who are refusing to vote for his democrat backed legislation by removing them from their committee assignments and changing the House rules so its basically impossible to vacate the seat.

You’re not “furthering an agenda” if you keep passing Democrat bills.

So I wonder how it went? Any press statements?

Or it may be that SOTH Johnson is trying to keep a hair thin majority patched together until the November elections.

I agree with you. I am praying that all stays like it is until we get TRUMP elected in 2024.
