Greene says she won't take blame if Jeffries becomes Speaker

The Hill

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.

1. That sounds promising...

🤔

[mercuryblues]

2. I hope she tests that theory

[Hassler]

3. Openly Cro-magnon Margery Traitor Greene is

The gift that keeps giving.

[3catwoman3]

17. We need a different designation for someone...

…as vile and worthless as Marge.

How about Homo stupidicus vulgaris?

[Turbineguy]

4. She probably hopes that Jeffries becomes speaker

she'll be able to really act up.

7. I figure if Jeffries becomes speaker, we might have the votes to expel Empty

[keithbvadu2]

18. Oooooooh! That does sound good. She can campaign with her pal Santos.

[struggle4progress]

5. This sounds ever more enjoyable by the minute!

[nolabear]

6. I think they might have actually jumped the shark.

They thought they were taking down the Democratic Party and even the not-batshit-crazy GOP, the ones so deluded they thought they could ride that wave without drowning. But even they can only take so much before wearing down. Maybe I’m
A fool but it looks like self-destruction to me.

[Kennah]

8. She's doing work with youth in Asia

[Attilatheblond]

9. What is she worse at: Strategic thinking, or math?

She is another one who just says any ol thing and never thinks first.

[republianmushroom]

10. As the wind blows so goes MTG as do most republicans.

[Cha]

11. lol.. paranoid much

[getagrip_already]

12. she needs her meds adjusted, but I hope she doesn't......

Hopefully her outbursts, mood swings, and irrational behavior just keeps getting worse.

We can only hope. C'mon biology.

[Ohio Joe]

13. So...

It’s not her fault people are resigning because they don’t want to be associated with loons like her? Join the cult to destroy America or it’s your fault the plot failed?

She is an idiot.

[enough]

14. She's hilarious

[Red Mountain]

15. TOTALLY not her fault

and she's starting to refer to herself in the third person.

Two thumbs up for Marge!

[patphil]

16. Her actually taking blame isn't important. She's one of the ones that is helping make it happen.

You're one of the owners of that dysfunctional, steaming pile of shit that the Republican House has turned into.
You're doing good Marge, keep it up.

[EnergizedLib]

19. I don't know, if Jeffries becomes Speaker

I won’t blame her, I will thank her.

[meadowlander]

20. I agree. It's the fault of voters who gave such feckless and unserious people the house majority in the first place.

[Ping Tung]

21. She got her Masters Degree in Math from Big Lou's Lawyur School and Fried 'Possum Cafe.

[Initech]

22. Well... she opened the flood gates.

May the MAGA assholes get what is coming to them!

[Emile]

23. She is a typical Republican. Never ever take personal responsibility.

Sitting on their hemorrhoidal ass and pointing their finger is their game

[Aristus]

24. She'll never understand or admit that her repulsive, revolting behavior is one of the things that sent

the very few mainstream, halfway-pretending-to-be-decent republicans bolting for the exits.

There was a time when Republicans at least had enough respect for our country to behave like adults during solemn national traditions like the SotU. To not roam the hallways of our government institutions spewing reactionary hate in every direction.

I swear, John Boehner handing out tobacco company bribe checks on the floor of the House is starting to look positively quaint.

[lame54]

25. She is the reason they are leaving early

[ProudMNDemocrat]

26. Speaker Jeffries will sure THANK MTG for his job.

In his way, it will be BLAMING her for the chaos that made his ascension to having the Gavel.

[liberal N proud]

27. People like her never accept responsibility

They shit all over everything and take no blame.
