Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made good on her threat to attempt to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson from his job, and while she was joined by a few colleagues, requiring Democrats to bail out Johnson again, many Republicans made it known that they were not pleased to have had to deal with the spectacle of her stunt. Former Senator Claire McCaskill and Brendan Buck, former press secretary to Speaker John Boehner, discuss with Alex Wagner.

    She boos the president but can't handle some of her own. She's truly weak
  • Thank God that even the MAGA Republicans are tired of Moscow Marge and her insanity.
  • @dctrevett
    All we need to know about empty green is that she harassed a Parkland shooting survivor and uttered the words "Jewish space lasers". Anything else she says or does is just doubling down on ignorance and evil.
  • @O-Aztec
    she needs to be banished from the halls of congress.
  • @Blakblooded
    A House divided cannot stand. A House united cannot stand Marge.
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene is mad because every time she walks into a girl's bathroom someone screams out, "hey, Dog the Bounty Hunter this is a ladies room dude!".😠
  • @justinwolf7490
    Who else has watched this video multiple times and it gave them pure joy too!? 😊
  • @DavidJ222
    MTG is the head of the Karen Caucus.
  • @houdinididiit
    Love how her delusions kick in and she blames a "uni-party". Really Marjorie? Maybe your party has had enough embarrassment? And the democrats are sick of the crap show too? She's clueless.
  • @franknemeth7430
    Time to get the Russian agents out of the Senate and Congress- and return America to the thing Americans love our rights .
  • @knotheadusc
    MTG has got such a big mouth. I can't wait until she gets voted out of Congress and heads back to Georgia. It's time for the lawmakers to work together and do something for the country, instead of continuing all of this ridiculous posturing that just wastes time and tax dollars.
  • @sp4263
    MTG go away. Now Congres can get back to the business of governing America for ALL Americans ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
  • @user-dd2gm7dj1x
    Speaker Johnsons first order of business this morning should be to do whatever is necessary to immediately and permanently make sure that MTG is nothing more than a memory.
  • @setsom2857
    They gave that trash on the far right too much power with a 1-member rule to make a motion to vacate.
  • @niclewis9610
    She earned every single Boo. Now Georgia do yourselves a favor and vacate the crazy conspiracy troll.
  • @charblank
    We the people paying your lifetime wages and better benefits that we'll ever have are so sick and tired of the drama! Do your job!
  • @lysdexic229
    It's called bipartisan, no such thing as the uniparty. Yet another one left behind.
  • @pcbacklash_3261
    It may have been the same number of Republicans voting to oust McCarthy as Johnson, but I don't recall "boos" resounding in the chamber like they did today. I suspect there's a growing number of Republicans who are tired of this crap.
  • @echospaw899
    Still looking forward to the day when we don't have to hear/see that 'do nothing' loudmouth ever again. However it happens. 😏
