Marjorie Taylor Greene demands Mike Johnson’s resignation amid Republican rift over Ukraine aid bill

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has demanded speaker Mike Johnson's resignation as the Republican infighting continued over Congress’s approval of $61bn in military aid for Ukraine.

The US House of Representatives on Saturday voted 311-112 topass a $95bn aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Western allies in the Indo-Pacific as Democrats and Republicans banded together to overcome months of rightwing resistance to renewed American support forUkraine’s war effort.

Angry conservatives fumed at their colleagues after the vote. As dozens of members stood up in the House and started waving Ukrainian flags, one conservative member shouted into the mic: “Put those damn flags away!”

The passage of the aid package has put Mr Johnson's speakership at risk, with some Republican colleagues accusing him of siding with Democrats.

“He is absolutely working for the Democrats. He’s passing the Biden administration’s agenda,” Ms Greene told Fox News on Sunday.

“Mike Johnson’s speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated.”

Ms Greene earlier called Mr Johnson a «lame duck» for his “third betrayal” over what she claimed was «bull****».

«I support my majority, I'll support the majority next time. I do not support Mike Johnson, he is already a lame duck,» she said on Capitol Hill.

"… and then he did this bullshit in here on the House floor. Foreign war package that does nothing for America. It’s unbelievable," she told CNN.

Three Republicans have signed on to a motion for Mr Johnson to vacate his post and issued public warnings that any attempt by Democrats to save him would only backfire by rallying more conservatives against
