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

Source: msn/Daily Beast

11h


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 Johnson’s “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 isn’t he doing anything about Cory Mills?” Greene told Axios.

“There’s 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 shutdown—another 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.

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.

What we have is literally an organized (or disorganized) crime racket in charge of the country. These gangsters are owned and operated by other gangsters.

Any chance king dumbfuck got Santos sprung simply because Greene has been loud and proud about supporting Epstein survivors lately, and denouncing current economic woes brought on by this “admin”??

Well well!! And also, hmmmmmmmm

If he has already done so, I missed it - but it’s gotta happen before too long - !

.... Meaning he isn't forgiven nor was unjustly convicted, but that the sentence was considered by tsf to be excessive.

I don’t trust her, not a bit, and I don’t think she’d do this if she didn’t think there was something in it for her. I wonder if she just hates Mike Johnson for some reason and wants to take him down.

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.

It was because her adult kids were telling her that their insurance premiums would rise that got her to act.

We should know that by now. (Sarcasm)

....he said he would rather “talk about something serious” than address the restraining order issued against Florida Rep. Cory Mills.


Okay Mikey, let's talk about EPSTEIN.

Swastikas are no big deal now either.

Let's talk about that toning down the rhetoric while saying democrats main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals.

Fuck you Mike Johnson.

She brags she takes no money from AIPAC. She’s one of a handful of Republicans congresspeople speaking out against genocide.

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

Whatever- I bet she is really pissing Trump off - I like that. She’s becoming a big problem for Trump. 🙃
