Marjorie Taylor Greene Tears Into Mike Johnson's 'Hypocrisy' in Raging MAGA Civil War

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has lashed out at House Speaker Mike Johnson for dodging questions about a Republican lawmaker accused of harassing his former girlfriend. Greene, a one-time MAGA loyalist who has become increasingly critical of Donald Trump and the GOP, blasted Johnsons hypocrisy after he said he would rather talk about something serious than address the restraining order issued against Florida Rep. Cory Mills.
Mills is accused of threatening to release sexually explicit videos of a woman after their breakup and of warning that he would attack her future boyfriends. Mills has denied the harassment and threat allegations against him. A Florida judge granted a protective order, barring Mills from contacting Lindsey Langston, the reigning Miss United States, or coming within 500 feet of her home or workplace. They expelled George Santos, Mike Johnson did. He was Speaker and oversaw George Santos being expelled. Why isnt he doing anything about Cory Mills? Greene told Axios.
Theres clearly proof behind her accusations if a judge is issuing a restraining order. So I would say to Speaker Johnson, this is a serious matter, and it needs to be taken seriously. Santos, a former New York lawmaker, was expelled from the House in December 2023 after being accused of multiple ethics violations and fraud charges. Johnson did not support the move to expel Santos because he had not yet been convicted of a crime. Santos was later sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Greene continued her tirade against Johnson over his handling of the government shutdownanother issue on which she has broken ranks with the GOP. She has sided with Democrats in demanding that Republicans not allow subsidies under the Affordable Care Act to expire, warning that doing so would raise healthcare costs for millions of Americans, including her own constituents. Republicans have no plan, Greene told Axios. Mike Johnson has not had a single conference meeting about any sort of plan to deal with the ACA tax credits expiring. If me saying those things is considered breaking with my party, then what is the Republican Party? she added.

(163 posts)her family is being affected by public funding cuts. In one sense, she's a multi-millionaire and she can cover for any economic shortfalls that her family members encounter. She may not be a kissy-face Trumper, but she's still a Republican and she'll vote Republican nearly every time.

(12,354 posts)That she's going to call for vacating the speaker once the House goes back into session. And Little Johnson knows it, or at least suspects it. That's one of the reasons that he's not calling the House back into session.

Its believed AIPAC will look for a candidate to run against her as it plans to do with Massie. Who knows?
