WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

    I was about to ask why she would do such a thing but then I remembered to my dismay that asking why mtg does shit is like asking a flat earther why they think the earth is flat.

      There’s a difference. A flat Earther definitely thinks the Earth is flat. What Marjorie Taylor Greene actually believes is a mystery. How much of it is natural crazy and how much of it is an act?

        When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time

        I don’t think it’s an act for her
