During a Sunday interview, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) alleged that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was “owned by the Democrats”.
When questioned about why she believes Johnson would not “defund Jack Smith,” the special counsel who issued two indictments against President Trump, Greene confidently stated, “Mike Johnson is under the control of the Democrats, and this has once again been proven true.”
During an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Greene highlighted that it was the Democrats, rather than the Republicans, who saved Mike Johnson when she called the motion to vacate.
According to the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Jerry Nadler, voting to save Mike Johnson, who was impeached twice by President Trump, speaks volumes about their true intentions.
According to the source, the individual stated that Mike Johnson is aligned with the Democrats and fails to support President Trump, despite frequently visiting Mar-a-Lago and expressing strong affection towards him.
The House rejected Greene’s attempt last week to remove Johnson from his position, with only 10 Republicans and 32 Democrats supporting her in voting against House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s motion to table her resolution. As a result, the removal resolution was prevented from being voted on.
In a remarkable show of bipartisan support, the chamber voted overwhelmingly to save Johnson with a vote of 359-43-7.
