Marjorie Taylor Greene faced calls to resign from Congress after Democrats stripped her of power and humiliated her for her plot to impeach Mike Johnson.
After their weekly caucus meeting, the Democratic leadership of the House of Representatives said in a statement: “At this moment, having completed our work on national security, the time has come to turn the page on this chapter of pro -Putin Republican obstruction. We will vote to introduce Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to resign from the chair. If she calls the motion, it will not pass.”
Rep. Eric Swalwell has called on Greene to resign. 'It is over. How can Marjorie Taylor Greene stay in Congress? She has lost all credibility. Competence and community defeat chaos and corruption. Greene must resign immediately.”
Greene responded to the Democratic statement with a threat:
If the Democrats want to elect him chairman (and some Republicans want to support the Democrats' chosen chairman), I will give them the opportunity to do so.
I strongly support recorded voting because recording Congress allows every American to see the truth and provides transparency about our votes.
Americans deserve to see the Uniparty in full. I'm about to throw them their coming out party!
Democrats don't have to vote for Mike Johnson. Democrats in the House of Representatives will join Republicans in voting to introduce Greene's motion to evict.
What Greene calls the uni-party is nothing more than the vast majority of the House of Representatives rejecting chaos.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is outwitted and humiliated. Greene won't resign, and her rural North Georgia district won't reject her.
Mike Johnson has learned from the Kevin McCarthy fiasco. Johnson did not lie to the Democrats. He kept his word about their agreement on foreign aid bills. He has shown Democrats that he can be talked to and worked with at a grassroots level, so now the House of Representatives will come together to put the Chaos Caucus and Marjorie Taylor Greene in their place.
