On Friday, U.S. House Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to vacate against House Speaker Mike Johnson after the body passed a $1.2T spending bill.
Greene shared a clip of remarks that she made on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in a post on X and explained why she made the move.
“The ‘Republican-controlled’ House just passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill that doesn’t secure our border, but funds full term abortion and transgender ideology on our youth,” Greene declared.
Greene explained, “I filed a Motion to Vacate because the House needs a Speaker who’s able to win for Republicans and our constituents.”
