Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals that nemesis Mike Johnson made “a lot of excuses” during their 70-minute peace talks. Will she continue a bid to oust the chairman?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Speaker Mike Johnson gave her ‘a bunch of excuses’ in a meeting and is not backing down on his threat to call a bid to impeach him.

The two political foes sat down for a 70-minute meeting to air their grievances, which came to light last month.

“We discussed the omnibus and I explained all the reasons why he failed as our speaker as the Republican Speaker of the House, he funded the Biden administration to fund their open border policies,” the Georgia Republican said.

‘This will not be tolerated by Republicans and is not the way to win elections if Republican voters do not want to vote for a Democrat’s agenda. I have a lot of excuses for why it happened,” she said.

Greene launched the motion to vacate after Johnson passed three continuing resolutions, or CRs, that funded the government at fiscal 2023 levels before passing a pair of packages costing $1.6 trillion to fund it in 2024 .

She did not immediately force a vote on the issue, but considered it a ‘warning’ and a ‘pink slip.’

The pair tried to hash out their differences for an hour and 10 minutes on Wednesday. “We didn’t go out with a deal,” she said.

Greene’s meeting with Johnson came just as another rule vote — this time to advance the controversial spying tool FISA — failed on the House floor.

She said she ‘made it clear’ to the speaker that pushing FISA reauthorization and Ukraine aid could further threaten his job – though she said she ‘looks after the majority’ too much to commit to anyone red lines to make good on his threat.

“I didn’t give him a red line, and I’ve been paying a lot of attention to my conference,” Greene said.

“I have no doubt that he has prayed every day to try to do the right thing,” she said. ‘But he has not done the job that we elected him to do.’

Greene said she warned Johnson that “he will be personally responsible for finding the continued murder of people in a foreign country that is not our NATO ally and that the American people do not support.”

She also said Johnson offered her and advisory role on his team.

“He discussed having a kitchen, a kitchen cabinet, a group that would be a group of advisers for him, asked me if I was interested and I said I would wait to see what his proposal is on that ,” Greene told reporters. . ‘Right now he doesn’t have my support. I am keeping an eye on what is happening with FISA and Ukraine. Those are the two things we will look at.’

Johnson could now bring the FISA bill back under suspension — meaning he wouldn’t need all of his Republicans to pass a rule, but he would need two-thirds of the House to pass a final bill.

This could further embolden Johnson’s opponents and push them into the arms of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to leave the threat.

If Greene called her motion to leave the floor, there would be a vote to remove Johnson from the speakership, which would require only a small handful of Republicans to sign if all Democrats again vote to start a Republican speaker.

A senior GOP aide told DailyMail.com there is a ‘strong’ likelihood the anti-FISA bill Republicans would embrace the motion to vacate (MTV) if Johnson put the bill back on the floor under suspension.

‘Bringing it under suspension is another slap in the face to members who are already thinking about MTV.’

Whether Greene acts on her measure to oust Johnson over FISA or IKRaine is still up in the air.

She and like-minded conservatives have warned the speaker not to bring foreign aid funding to Ukraine to a vote, saying the U.S. border crisis must be resolved before doling out dough for wars abroad.

But pleas from the White House, Ukrainian President Zelensky, Democrats and moderate Republicans to vote on aid for the crisis-stricken country also put Johnson in a difficult position.
