Marjorie Taylor Greene Accidentally Reveals Truth About House Republicans

The Georgia Republican called for unity but also rejected a compromise plan to empower a temporary speaker.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) slammed her own conference on Thursday as the House descended further into chaos.

“Our conference has a responsibility to the American people, to our districts, to work together and unify, and this conference is absolutely broken,” she said. 

A far-right revolt forced Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) out of the speaker’s office early this month. House Republicans have been unable to rally behind a new leader in the time since, with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) falling short in two attempts.

That’s caused business to grind to a halt, with a looming deadline to pass the fiscal bills needed to keep the government operating.  

But Greene, a conspiracy theorist who once spoke at a white nationalist event  and earlier this month claimed she would only support Donald Trump for House speaker, also slammed calls for a compromise that would allow Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) more power in his role so that bills could get passed.  

“Republican voters work too hard to give us the majority for us to enter some sort of temporary speakership,” Greene told reporters.
