As Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for the removal of Mike Johnson as House Speaker, the Democrats and RINOs booed loudly in unison.
MTG immediately called them out, “For Americans watching this is the Uniparty.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene laid out turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson, listing his complete failures as Speaker and his absolute abandonment of Republican principles and promises he made to the American people.
This was brutal. And once again the Uniparty exposed itself.
Marjorie Taylor Greene included in her list the fact that Mike Johnson repeatedly called votes to remove Republican George Santos from office and turn the seat over to Democrats. So weak.
I just called up my Motion to Vacate Nancy Pelosi-endorsed Uniparty Speaker Mike Johnson.

The final vote was 359 to 43 with 7 members abstaining.
196 Republicans voted to keep Mike Johnson as Speaker. Disgraceful.
163 Democrats also supported Mike Johnson including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and current Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
MAGA has few friends in Congress today.
Only 11 Republicans voted to remove Mike Johnson.
It’s a new paradigm in Congress.
Nancy Pelosi, and most republicans voted to keep Uniparty Speaker Mike Johnson. These are the eleven, including myself, who voted NOT to save him. pic.twitter.com/8HnfDQ7lBe
