Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Blasts House Speaker For Failing To Consult Conservatives

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisianna) after “not talking to us conservatives” about the Sept. 30 government deadline.

If the House does not meet the deadline or pass a continuing resolution, the government will be shut down for the first time since 2018-2019, during former President Donald Trump‘s term.

“Yesterday, I learned that speaker Johnson is talking to the moderate Republicans in our conference trying to get their support for a 6-month CR to be passed before the upcoming Sept. 30th government funding deadline,” she posted on X.

“But Speaker Johnson is NOT talking to us conservatives because we demand that he actually negotiate with Schumer to include our agenda items like the SAVE Act (election integrity bill) instead of just clean passing another Continuing Resolution of the Democrat’s budget, which just keeps happening,” Greene continued.

Greene accused Johnson of not wanting to “rock the boat” before the presidential election on Nov. 5.

A representative for Johnson denied Greene’s accusation.

“As he always does, Speaker Johnson is sounding out members from across the Conference on the best path forward, not any single faction,” they told the Washington Examiner. “The House has passed 75 percent of government funding for FY25 while the Senate has yet to consider a single appropriations bill. The House will continue its successful effort to responsibly fund the government when it returns from its district work period.”

Last month, Greene was mocked on social media for naming the wrong signers of the Declaration of Independence and got into a bitter feud with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) over her appearance.
