Fox News host Maria Bartiromo challenged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over the weekend about what her plan is if she manages to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
The confrontation happened during a Sunday interview when Bartiromo asked Greene what her alternative plan is if she’s successful.
“OK, Congresswoman, you wanted Mike Johnson out,” Bartiromo said. “What is your alternative plan?”
“Our plan is this, is, we have to give the American people a reason to trust us and fight for us,” Greene responded. “The American people are supporting President Trump to be the next president of the United States because they saw him — they have seen him in action. He fought against the Democrat agenda. He put America first. They desperately want him to lead this country again because they trust him and they know he will do that.”
“Mike Johnson has betrayed America,” she claimed. “He’s betrayed Republican voters. Under his leadership, he’s passed the Democrat agenda, passed the Biden administration’s policies and fully funded them. We’re going to fight in Congress to do everything we can to stop this type of uniparty leadership. Mike Johnson’s speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated.”
Bartiromo responded by noting that Greene did not answer the question.
“Well, with all due respect, you didn’t give me a plan for the speaker’s role,” Bartiromo said. “And, again, does this mean you are going to file that motion at some point?”
Greene responded, “It’s coming regardless of what Mike Johnson decides to do. And we have three more Republicans joining us for special elections coming up very soon. So people need to know this can happen.”
