Default MTG- Bipartisan Rejection of her Again!

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...bd71bcba&ei=12

House quickly rejects Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's effort to remove Speaker Johnson from office

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hardline Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tried and failed in sudden action Wednesday to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, her long-shot effort swiftly and resoundingly rejected by Democrats and Republicans tired of the political chaos.

One of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters in Congress, Greene stood on the House floor and read a long list of “transgressions” she said Johnson had committed as speaker. Colleagues booed her in protest. Greene of Georgia criticized Johnson’s leadership as “pathetic, weak and unacceptable.”

No sooner than Greene triggered the vote on her motion to vacate the speaker from his office, the Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise countered by calling first for a vote to table it.

An overwhelming majority, 359-43, kept Johnson in his job, for now.

Raise your hand if this is surprising.

No one?

Not one hand?

Yeah, that's about right.

Well, I must add that it seems like piss poor timing on her part.

There are bigger fish to fry at the moment, like expanding their majority in November, taking the Senate and WH?

Sorry, while I do more or less agree with her point, she's a dumbass with lousy tactical skills

I'm sure she had no expectation of success. It is grandstanding to make sure everyone knows she is against RINO behavior.

I have no issue with her attempt, but she needs to not come across as such a spooled up nut. Calmly express why he is a bad fit, make your submittal for pushing him out, and get back to work.

It's the high energy crap that makes her appear unhinged. Even if she is unhinged, she needs to mask it and make her points so they are at least considered.
