Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizes the Republican party's lack of unity and predicts chaos during the speakership race. With a razor-thin majority and opposition from Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Mike Johnson faces an uphill battle to retain the speakership position. The article also references the previous speaker, Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted and the chaos that ensued.
“Listen, they have gone around, they have talked about how there is a mandate, and that this country issued a mandate for the Republicans to run something,” she“So go ahead and run whatever y’all gonna run,” she continued, “but listen, if it’s all about y’all, if you don’t believe in bipartisanship and you have a ‘Trump trifecta,’ then y’all work this out amongst yourselves. We’re going to sit on the sidelines and eat our popcorn.
She offered a flashback to this time in 2023, when it took former Rep. Kevin McCarthy 15 rounds to get the speaker’s gavel. He was ousted from his leadership post later that year, leading to a three-week civil war among Republicans until they ultimately settled on Rep. Mike Johnson to replace him.
