Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks MAGA stupidity barrier as Democrats vow to save Mike Johnson
Well, they said it couldn’t be done. Americans who’ve maintained their sanity saw no way, in this age of performative political extremism, that a Donald-Trump-loving lawmaker could ever go too far. They said the MAGA stupidity barrier could never be broken.
Then along came Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Witless), whose crusade to oust GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson – for the high crime of governing – has somehow brought Democrats and Republicans together, united against her unique form of legislative ludicrousness.
On Wednesday, speaking to reporters who probably wanted to be elsewhere, Greene confirmed that next week she will trigger her motion to boot House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“Mike Johnson is not capable of that job. He has proven it over and over again,” Greene said. “Now we have (Democratic House Minority Leader) Hakeem Jeffries coming out over and over again, embracing Mike Johnson with a warm hug and a big, wet sloppy kiss.”
Democrats, of all people, say they'll save the House speaker from Greene
Greene’s dime-store bipartisan erotic fan-fiction aside, her motion is destined to fail, much like the lawmaker’s political career. Democrats have said they will vote to save Johnson’s speakership, and Greene has only a couple equally loony GOP lawmakers on her side in this fight.

On Tuesday, House Democratic leadership released a statement saying Greene’s motion to vacate “will not succeed,” adding: “From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have put people over politics and found bipartisan common ground with traditional Republicans in order to deliver real results. At the same time, House Democrats have aggressively pushed back against MAGA extremism. We will continue to do just that.”
To his credit, Johnson has remained resolute in the face of Greene’s attacks: “I have to do my job. We have to do what we believe to be the right thing. What the country needs right now is a functioning Congress. … I have to do what I believe is right every day and let the chips fall where they may.”
