Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) lashed out at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after House Republicans passed a bipartisan government funding bill.
"Republicans and the House of Representatives, where we hold on to a razor-thin majority," Greene told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. "But yet this week, Speaker Johnson, who has barely been a speaker for six months, led us to a complete catastrophe."
Greene blasted the bill passed to fund the government before excoriating Johnson for allowing Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) to retire without leaving time for a special election to replace him.
"You're right, Maria, and those people stepping down early and leaving are the ones that are leaving us at risk of the Democrats controlling the majority, not me," Greene said.
"I filed this motion to vacate, but I haven't called it to the floor," she continued. "This is like issuing a pink slip and giving our conference a notice saying that we have got to find a new speaker."
Greene said that finding a new speaker "may take months, and it may not even happen until next Congress, but Speaker Johnson cannot remain a speaker of the House."
