Trump rebukes Marjorie Taylor Greene's failed attempt to oust Speaker: 'Not the time'
Fox News
Former President Donald Trump called on House Republicans to table a motion from Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is seeking to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.
Green appeared to catch most Congressional watchers by surprise when she moved to force a vote on her motion to vacate the chair, which should have allowed for the vote. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
Though she has been seen in the past touting a MAGA hat in favor of Trump, the former president called on Republicans to table her motion. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
"I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come," Trump posted on Truth Social. "However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country. With a Majority of One, shortly growing to three or four, we’re not in a position of voting on a Motion to Vacate. At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time."
