Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) became the latest Republican to hit Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over her plan to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
He said that Greene is seeking attention with her plan and that it's a final attempt to get noticed.
Crenshaw mentioned that there isn't much support for Greene's plan and that a majority would vote to postpone her motion introduced in March.
Crenshaw questioned the basis of Greene's plan and highlighted the importance of allowing the democratic process to proceed.
Greene's push was supported by two other House members and is set to come to the floor next week. expected Greene’s push was endorsed by two other House members, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), and is to come to the floor next week.
Crenshaw pointed out that Greene and Massie haven't taken any action on border security and related legislative matters.
Crenshaw expressed that the actions of some members make it difficult for the conference to have influence in the lower chamber and result in blame being placed on Johnson.
He emphasized that it's important for voters to see through these tactics.
Some hardline House Republicans are unsatisfied with Johnson’s bipartisan dealmaking but have not backed the resolution to remove Johnson from his gavel. Democrats in the House have said they would help save Johnson following the speaker putting Ukraine aid on the floor which passed with bipartisan support.
In the upper chamber, Senate conservatives have also not supported Greene’s effort, arguing that Congress has more important priorities and that Johnson is doing the “very best possible” considering the razor-thin majority he has in the House. denounced In the upper chamber, Senate conservatives have also not supported Greene’s effort, arguing that Congress has more important priorities and that Johnson is doing the “very best possible” considering the razor-thin majority he has in the House.
