Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene renewed her threat Tuesday to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from House leadership in a lengthy and biting letter sent to her Republican colleagues.to remove Johnson from the speaker’s office after Johnson opted to work with Democrats to pass significant pieces of appropriations bills that conservative members of the Republican conference opposed, but the Georgia congresswoman has not yet brought her motion to vacate Johnson’s speakership to a vote.
The motion to vacate is the same tool eight far-right Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz , used last fall to remove then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy from office — the first time a sitting House speaker had been deposed — after he ignored the far right’s demands to shut down the government and relied on Democrats to pass a short-term funding measure.
In the letter, Greene told her colleagues that “if these actions by the leader of our conference continue, then we are not a Republican Party — we are a Uniparty that is hellbent on remaining on the path of self-inflicted destruction.”
