Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership, according to sources familiar with the matter, amid anger about the government funding bill.

The House would have to consider Greene’s motion within two legislative days after she is recognized. The chamber is heading for a two-week recess, and Greene told reporters she would not call up the resolution on Friday, which means the clock to force a vote has not started.

Asked for a reaction by CNN, Johnson didn’t respond, dismissing the question with a wave.

After Greene filed the motion, she was swarmed by her Republican colleagues. A source close to the conversations told CNN that a number of fellow GOP lawmakers were trying to convince the Georgia Republican not to bring the motion. Two of the lawmakers who were there, GOP Reps. Barry Loudermilk and Kat Cammack, were observed to be in an extended conversation with Greene.

Part of the argument to Greene from her Republican colleagues is that if she goes through with this, it could lead to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries inadvertently becoming speaker, a source who witnessed the conversations told CNN.

Let the Radical Right Wing shut the Government down...let Americans feel the results of a RRW agenda...

Then vote every RW politician out of office and take back our country.

The American voters are still in control of the UNITED STATES and we have a golden opportunity to show the RRW, that the majority of Americans are still in charge.

VOTE THEM OUT..!

...and never elect a Radical RWer again.

And there's a theater right down the hill.

I bet she could get two sticks to light up in record time.

That depends on who the sticks belong to.

FATE said go big or go home. Word on the street is he’s bout to take her on a date to see Disney on Ice.
