Exclusive: MTG goes after Johnson again -- this time over Cory Mills comments

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) accused Speaker Mike Johnson of "hypocrisy" for brushing off questions about a protective order issued against Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.).

Why it matters: It's the latest example of a pattern that has defined Greene's time in Congress: supporting leaders when it suits her political agenda and scorching them when it doesn't.

Greene leveled the hypocrisy jab at Johnson (R-La.) during an interview with Axios on Thursday.

She was referring to Johnson telling reporters a day earlier that he would prefer to "talk about something serious" than address the protective order issued against Mills for allegedly threatening to release sexually explicit photos and videos of his ex-girlfriend.

I can offer my support for at least her having some moral fiber to her being.
