It has been noted that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blasted Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after the passage of the bill providing aid to Ukraine in the House via Mediaite.
On Saturday, House lawmakers passed a $61 billion aid package in order to assist Ukraine amid the Russian invasion with a vote margin of 311 yeas and 112 nays. The Democratic caucus voted unanimously in favor of the bill while 101 Republicans split with the party.
It has come to light that Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) have used debate surrounding the aid package to argue in favor of ousting Johnson as speaker.
Last month, Greene brought forward a motion to vacate Johnson after the passage of the $1.2 trillion spending bill.
Following the vote, Greene spoke to CNN reporter Manu Raju on Capitol Hill, raging at Johnson for his “betrayal” while calling the bill “bullshit”
RAJU: You said you wait for constituents. But where are you at? I mean, given what you said, the Republicans deserved to be in the majority.
GREENE: That’s up to the people because this is the third betrayal by Mike Johnson. He delivered a two part omnibus, funded the Department of Justice. 91 federal indictments against President Trump, funded the FBI that raided Mar-A-Lago, gave him a brand new FBI building, funded Joe Biden’s open border policies that are killing Americans every single day. Then he then he reauthorized FISA that spied on American citizens, spied on President Trump’s campaign, and he voted against the warrant requirement, the same warrant requirement that he was for six months ago. And then he did this bullshit in here on the House floor. Foreign war package that does nothing for America. I it’s it’s it’s unbelievable. I’m thankful that the American gets to see who this man is. I’m thankful that America gets to see who the people that voted for this is. Because this is the only way it’s going to change. People have to see the truth.
