Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene Files Motion to Remove House Speaker | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Republican House leadership is once again hanging by a thread. It was only 6 months ago when far right members of the House ousted then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Now, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene is threatening to do it again. Just ahead of Easter break, Congresswoman Taylor-Greene filed a motion to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson. This week, she and the Speaker met, and had a "passionate 70-minute meeting". Afterwards, the Georgia lawmaker said discontent with the Speaker is spreading. Taylor-Greene says, "It's pretty clear and obvious and being whispered among the conference, Mike Johnson does not have the support of the conference. The letter that I sent has been well received and it was basically speaking the quiet part out loud." After 19 Republicans voted this week with Democrats to bring down the FISA Reauthorization Bill, Congresswoman Taylor-Greene is now waiting to see what the Speaker does with the Senate passed Ukraine Aid Bill, which has been on his desk for months. Speaker Johnson said, "She is a colleague. I've always considered her a friend. Marjorie and I don't disagree on any matter of philosophy. We are both conservatives, but we do disagree sometimes on strategy."
