"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: "Marjorie Taylor Greene is the star of the show. The show is called Republicans Gone Wild. It is undermining the well-being of the American people and preventing us from delivering real and meaningful results on the issues that matter." "He continues, "House Republicans are either unwilling or unable to get Marjorie Taylor Greene and the extreme MAGA Republicans under control, and so it's going to take a bipartisan coalition and partnership to accomplish that objective."
From CSPAN
"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA): "I think the American people need to see a recorded vote...So next week, I am going to be calling this motion to vacate. Absolutely calling it." Full video here:CSPAN."
As I wrote about this crazy story back in back in March:
"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. "
From The New Democrat
Just a quick point about this first: the Greene motion in the House from March wasn't a privileged motion. Meaning the House never had to vote on it. What's different now, is that Representative Taylor Greene's motion is now a privileged motion. She filed it today and the House has to vote on it next week. Even if she's the only member of the House who votes for it. Well, her, Representative Tom Massie, Representative Matt Gaetz, and perhaps Representative Chip Roy, and maybe the so-called "Squad" out of 431-432 current U.S. Representatives.
But to go to what House Minority Jeffries said: "Marjorie Taylor Greene is the star of the show. The show is called Republicans Gone Wild." As I mentioned a couple weeks ago about Hakeem Jeffries:
"Hakeem Jeffries has an excellent, pretty quick, sense of humor. At least political wit. And if you follow him on social media, you really see that everyday. He called House Republicans "Moscow Marjorie Taylor Greene", Matt Gaetz, and Paul Gosar "quite a group" and did that with a smirk on his face. Meaning, that wasn't a complement. “Quite a group” is a step down from “distinguished gentleman” or “distinguished gentlelady”. But 2, he was also holding back. But 2, he was holding back."
From The New Democrat
The only thing that I would amend about the Jeffries statement here is that this is not the "Republicans Gone Wild". Yes, they're all registered Republicans. But you could register at a lovers nest under an assume name and then later claim that you were never actually registered at that hotel, because you didn't use your real name. Possible titles for this political reality TV show are:
Not even sure if this real life, political reality TV show, where Marjorie Taylor Greene who at the very least is the Washington producer, director, and star of, is: "MAGA Gone Wild"
It just might be more like: "MAGA Militants Gone Wild" where some of them are actually armed.
Or: "Escaped Mental Patients Invade Washington To Take a Bite Out of Sanity." As if there are not enough crazy people already in Washington.
As far as Representative Greene's point about Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Jeffries setting up a "uni-party": A uni-party to do what:
Prevent the government from shutting down?
Prevent the government from defaulting?
Helping our allies fend off fascist dictators from stealing their land and ethnic-cleansing them?
Does Representative Greene really want the whole country to see how stupid and crazy her own colleagues, even in the House Republican Conference, think of her? It's not just the House Democrats and the mainstream media who view her as a crazy idiot, who should be sent back to her room to get the help that she needs.
