Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) condemned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) efforts to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Thursday, calling the plan “silly,” “counterproductive,” and “really unhelpful to the country.” After Cruz was asked on the Real Clear Politics Podcast whether he supported Greene’s efforts to oust Johnson as speaker, Cruz replied, “Look, I think it is silly. I think it is seriously counterproductive.”
