Marjorie Taylor Greene melts down over House Speaker: ‘I don’t think Republicans deserve to be re-elected’

Marjorie Taylor Greene has launched a furious tirade at House Speaker Mike Johnson after he pushed through legislation to avoid a government shutdown, accusing him of being “a Speaker for the Democrats.”

Johnson defied Donald Trump on Wednesday by letting the House of Representatives vote to approve a spending bill to keep the government funded until December, even though it included no provisions to tighten elections.

The House voted 341-82 to pass the continuing resolution, which will fund the government at levels set in the fiscal year 2024 budget, through December 20.

In her rant, Taylor Greene said one of Johnson’s failures was greenlighting government funding for the Department of Justice.
