Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Tuesday that she would be endorsing Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) for House Speaker, a notable win for the Louisiana Republican given Greene has at times found herself at odds with him.
“Here’s what I’m asking my colleagues to do: Let’s put aside our pride, let’s put aside our egos and let’s put aside the infighting,” Greene said in a video posted on the social platform X. “It’s time to come together as Republicans, and it’s time to do whatever it takes to make sure that we deliver the mandate that the American people told us to do.”
“And that’s why I’m excited tomorrow. I cannot wait to get started. I’ll be voting for Mike Johnson,” she continued. “I will be looking ahead in complete hopefulness and working as hard as possible.”
Lawmakers are convening at noon to elect a Speaker, with Johnson hardly able to afford any defections as he looks to keep his gavel.

Good for her.
She’s right. The infighting only hurts US. And it gives the Demonicrats ammo to use against Trump.
Prayers for Trump transition to go smoothly and that infighting doesn’t rip apart what little majority we have in Congress.
What changed her tune is that she finally figured out she looks like a moron when she opposes a House Speaker candidate but can’t find anyone else who can get more than 20 votes for the post.
Let’s face it......there are still sonsabitches on capitol hill that call themselves Republicans looking to throw a monkey wrench into DJTs vision for the next 4 years and this is the 1st opportunity and they’re taking advantage of it.....and we all know it....
I am out of the loop, I thought Mike Johnson was instrumental in campaigning for Trump and helping to get him elected? Why is everyone so against him now?
We can’t just expect the whole world to turn MAGA overnight. *eyeroll*
I’m not against monkey wrenches when they’re warranted. But this is not the time.
Wonder what changed her tune? Trump called her?
Well....probably. I would have, told her to let it go for now so that things could get started. He undermines Trump, the knives come out and he is done at a later date. Seems like common sense...which probably isn’t common in DC.
She never struck another tune. She has always been 100% Trump
To some on Free Republic, Mike Johnson is too liberal, and too willing to make nice with Democrats, and willing to compromise on some issues.
That’s why some conservatives dislike him now.
Trump wants him, and 300 EVS overrules political purity.
now persuade your pals, MTG
Nope. She always been a 100% Trump. When Johnson was selling u s out to Biden and Schumer out she opposed him.
Situation is vastly different now that we have Trump and a GOP Senate to work with.
“this is not the time.”
damn right it’s not the right time....they could settle this later.
SOBs piss me off to no freakin’ end.
You mean like Massie who voted 15 times for McCarthy and opposed ousting him from the Speakership?
Today Massie posture looks like infantile egotism, not principals
Nope. She always been a 100% Trump. When Johnson was selling us out to Biden and Schumer out she opposed him.
Situation is vastly different now that we have Trump and a GOP Senate to work with.
Exactly. They need to coalesce around MAGA. I don’t care about their personal ego’s and agendas.
Thank you Marge. Live to fight another day.
