Trump praised Greene for her «spirit» but argued that her attempt to oust Speaker Mike Johnson was escalating GOP «disunity.»
Former President Donald Trump has hit out at Representative Majorie Taylor Greene for potentially stirring «chaos» that could jeopardize his election chances by pursuing her failed attempt to oust Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
Greene, a favorite of Trump’s MAGA movement, has been lobbying for Johnson’s removal since he allowed military aid for Ukraine to pass through Congress, arguing that the speaker is a member of «the uniparty» and should lose his job like former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy did last year.
The Georgia Republican’s push to vacate Johnson’s speakership failed overwhelmingly in the House on Wednesday night, with 359 members, including all but 11 Republicans and 32 Democrats, voting to table the motion.
Trump praised Greene for her «spirit» and «fight» but warned that she was encouraging GOP «disunity» in a post to Truth Social shortly before the motion was killed. The former president urged House Republicans to help fight «radical left Democrats» by voting to table Greene’s motion.
