Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says Representative Mike Johnson’s days as speaker are numbered.

Greene (R-Ga.) strongly opposes funding Ukraine’s war with Russia. She filed a motion to remove Johnson (R-La.) as speaker last month.

Greene said Johnson will do whatever President Biden and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) want in order to keep the speaker’s gavel.

She added that Johnson sold out Republican voters, reiterating her comments she made after the House approved the foreign aid package.

Greene’s motion to vacate Johnson is supported by Representatives Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz). It has yet to face a vote.
