***BREAKING*** Marjorie Taylor says GOP men in Congress are 'weak' [View all]
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) spent part of last week fielding angry texts from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana).
She posted on social media that the Senate should abolish the 60-vote filibuster threshold so senators can end the government shutdown with just Republican votes. “He told me they can’t do it and it’s math,” Greene said.
As with many things Johnson says these days, Greene disagreed.
“I sent him the article about them doing it yesterday,” she said, referring to the Senate changing its own rules to confirm a large group of nominees on a single vote. “I said, ‘They just did it.’” (Johnson told reporters on Friday that he called her and they had a “good discussion” as “colleagues and friends.”)
