RepresentativeĀ Marjorie Taylor Greenewas booed on the House floor Wednesday afternoon byĀ RepublicansĀ andĀ DemocratsĀ after bringing forward her motion to remove House SpeakerĀ Mike Johnson.

TheĀ RepublicanĀ Georgia congresswoman has put pressure on Johnson in recent weeks, although many lawmakers in her own party haveĀ dismissedĀ her efforts to vacate the speakerā€™s chair.

It is unclear which House members booed Greeneā€™s motion on Wednesday, although Georgia congresswoman shot back at the heckling, saying, ā€œThis is the uniparty, for the American people watching.ā€

AĀ videoĀ of the moment was shared to X, formerly known asĀ Twitter, by the liberal website MeidasTouch.

    So here we are. 8 years roughly is the amount of time the degens in the Republican party tire of MAGA nonsense. Children got to grow up eventually, so at at least theyā€™re making some progress I suppose.

      Make no mistake: Republicans are doing this because they can see their polls are waning. They havenā€™t learned shit. They are still moving forward with Project 2025 and are taking steps to make sure that Trump ā€œwinsā€ in November.

      Their majority is waning and they know if they lose more members, the Democrats will have a majority going into the election.

      If they had balls, theyā€™d out the speaker. But they know that in order to keep their power, they need to be pragmatic.

      Greene does not have that trait.

        Yeah just the fact that theyā€™re still allowing a traitor and giant piece of shit to run for president again tells you everything you need to know about republicans.
