Farron Cousins: 'Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Won't Take Blame For Chaos She's Causing'

Source:Farron Balanced with a look at political escaped mental patient. I mean U.S. Representative Marjorie T. Greene (MAGA, Georgia) 

"Marjorie Taylor Greene understands what's at stake with her effort to remove Mike Johnson as the Speaker of the House, and she doesn't care. In fact, she said this week that she will not accept ANY of the blame if the House ends up electing a Democratic speaker. To be fair, Greene is just continuing on the path that people like Matt Gaetz put the Party on last year, so she shouldn't receive 100% of the blame, as Farron Cousins explains." 

From Farron Balanced

"Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, the Trump ally who engineered the ouster of McCarthy by a similar contingent of far-right Republicans, warned against trying to oust Johnson for fear of ending up with a Democratic speaker.

Gaetz was among eight Republicans who voted last October to remove McCarthy of California, with the help of all Democrats who were not willing to cast votes to save the embattled speaker. 

“If we vacated this speaker, we’d end up with a Democrat,” Gaetz predicted late Thursday. “When I vacated the last one, I made a promise to the country that we would not end up with a Democrat speaker. ... I couldn’t make that promise again today.”

From the Associated Press 

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that it is not her fault if House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is promoted to the House’s top role after she filed a motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from the position last week.

Greene pushed back on criticism that her motion against Johnson could result in Jeffries being elected Speaker due to the dwindling GOP majority in the lower chamber. She argued that Republican lawmakers who have cut their terms short and left office are the true ones to blame, not her. 

“It’s just a simple math. The more Republicans, like Mike Gallagher, that resign and leave early — guess what, that means we have less Republicans in the House,” Greene said Tuesday on Real America’s Voice, a conservative cable channel. “So, every time a Mike Gallagher or a Ken Buck leaves early, that brings our numbers down and brings us dangerously closer to being in the minority.”

“It’s not Marjorie Taylor Greene that is saying the inconvenient truth and forcing everyone to wake up and realize Republican voters are done with us doing this kind of crap that we did last week,” she added."

As I wrote about this last week right here: 

"As the ABC News Congressional reporter said in the video: when you file a privileged motion to vacate the Speaker of the House, the House has to vote on that motion within two days, regardless of who files the motion and whether they're a majority or minority member of the House. 

The Greene motion is not a privileged motion. So, she might just be putting Speaker Mike Johnson "on notice here", or she might done her own whip count and can count high enough to see that most of the House Republicans would vote against it and a lot of House Democrats as well. And she doesn't want to look even dumber and crazier than she already does. But that's just my theory."

What Farron Cousins didn't mention and that might just because he's not a member of the Congressional Junkies Club of America, (don't look that up. No such club actually exists. At least that I'm aware of and I should know.) like me and isn't as familiar with the Congressional rules in the House and Senate as we are. And as I mentioned last week right here, Representative Marjorie T. Greene's motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson, is not a privileged motion. Which means House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, doesn't have to bring it to the floor and schedule a vote on it. 

Marjorie T. Greene could very well be an escaped mental patient from Mississippi or some place and then moved to rural Georgia, changed her name and physical appearance,  to serve in the House of Representatives. (Which is why her mental institution can't find her) Or, she should be an Oscar winning actress for playing the dumbest idiots and craziest maniacs in world history. And she's actually a lot saner and smarter in private, then she seems to want her constituents and public to believe. 

When it comes to her privileged motion (privileged motion being the key words here) to vacate Speaker Johnson, I'm thinking she's just a great comedic actress (who really should be in Hollywood) playing a complete idiot and maniac on TV. Because if she had the votes to vacate the Speaker of the House, she would have already filed that privileged motion by now. 

MTG is not in the House of Representatives to govern. (Also in the news: fire can burn human flesh) And to govern, you have to make deals all the time with the other party. At least to do the necessary things, like keeping the government open and avoiding debt defaults. 

MTG is there to eliminate what's left of the establishment wing of the Republican Party, (meaning the real Conservative Republicans) who right now are like Evangelical preachers at a porn convention. But who aren't having as nearly as much fun as the preachers at the porn convention.
