'Absurdity from absurd members': Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle slam MTG's new move

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are slamming Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's new motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson, they said in interviews with Raw Story Friday. Outrage churned on Capitol Hill as Greene targeted Johnson — who forced members to vote on a massive omnibus spending package to prevent a government shutdown — by taking steps similar to those that ousted the previous House speaker Kevin McCarthy just last October. "I came here to focus on gun violence and the issues I think are really important right now, but we can't really do that because nothing is coming to the floor," Frost told Raw Story. "If Speaker Johnson wants to break from the.Trump-MAGA faction that's been controlling the Republican party, I would love to see it."
