Republicans In Disarray -- Greene Does Trump's And Putin's Bidding



Braying gym rat Rep. Marjorie Taylor Traitor Greene (Sedition-GA) continues her threats to depose Squeaker "MAGA Mike" Johnson over the Ukraine aid package:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bluntly warned Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday that moving ahead with an aid package for Ukraine would be one of “the most egregious things he could do” as she said she was “not backing off at all” over her threat to force a House vote seeking his ouster.

In a phone interview with CNN, the Georgia firebrand said GOP voters were “furious” at Johnson over his recent deal-cutting to keep the government open and suggested that she wouldn’t accept any package that included more funding for Ukraine in its war against Russia, even if it included some border security provisions.

The congresswoman, who plans to speak with Johnson on Friday, warned against moving any Ukraine bill with significant Democratic support under a process known in the House as “suspension of the rules” – a practice Johnson has employed repeatedly for must-pass bills amid deep divisions within the GOP ranks.

“Let me tell you, when he forces that vote, again, under suspension with no amendments, and funds Ukraine and people find out how angry their constituents are about it, that’s going to move the needle even more,” said Greene...

We can't have the government staying open, passing border security legislation and aid to Putin's enemies!  My lord the Malignant Loser ordered us not to!

Giving in to this nihilistic nutball to the detriment of our national security would be yet another sign that the Christofascist Republican/ MAGA cult is completely and utterly off the rails, along with its cult leader.  There's also the continuing infighting among the asylum inmates:

...Greene also took aim at a fellow GOP hardliner: Good, a Virginia Republican who is battling to hang onto his seat ahead of a June primary. Greene has endorsed Good’s Republican opponent, John McGuire, in the race.

Last week, Good attacked Greene, telling CNN: “Nobody cares what Marjorie Taylor Greene says or thinks. And she’s a one-man show, she’s grandstanding and she wants attention.”

Greene responded on Wednesday, saying she planned to campaign in Good’s district as she attacked him for backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the GOP presidential primary over Trump, noting he backed the Florida governor as Trump was facing criminal charges but later endorsed Trump after DeSantis dropped out of the race. She said she has relayed her concerns about Good directly to Trump.

“You can’t even bring up another example of a backstabber like that, that I can even think of,” Greene said. “He is strictly only supporting Donald Trump because he has to. He’s such a liar.”... (our emphasis)

She must know that being a liar is one of the litmus tests for membership in the Christofascist Republican/ MAGA cult, along with being a destructive dumbass-- both prerequisites she's passed with flying colors.  To the voters in Georgia's 14th Congressional District:  you are who you vote for.
