Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said President Mike Johnson in a meeting gave her “a lot of excuses” and is not backing down from her threat to call for an attempt to overthrow him.

“We discussed the omnibus and I explained to him all the reasons why it failed as our president, as the Republican speaker of the House, funded the Biden administration and funded his open border policies,” the Georgia Republican said.

‘This will not be tolerated by Republicans and is not the way to win elections if Republican voters do not want to vote for a Democratic agenda. “I have a lot of excuses for why that happened,” he said.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said President Mike Johnson in a meeting gave her “a lot of excuses” and is not backing down from her threat to call an effort to overthrow him.

He did not immediately force a vote on the issue, but expressed it as a “warning” and a “dismissal.”

The couple tried to resolve their differences for an hour and 10 minutes on Wednesday. “We didn’t come to an agreement,” she said.

Greene’s meeting with Johnson came just as another vote on the rule, this time to promote the controversial FISA spy tool, failed in the House.

He said he “made it clear” to the speaker that pushing for FISA reauthorization and aid to Ukraine could further threaten his job, even as he said he “cares too much about the majority” to commit to red lines to make good on his threat.

“I didn’t put a red line on it and I’ve been very considerate of my conference,” Greene said.

“I don’t doubt he prayed every day trying to do the right thing,” he joked. “But he hasn’t done the job we elected him to do.”

Greene said he warned Johnson that “he will be personally responsible for finding out about the continued murder of people in a foreign country that is not a NATO ally of ours, and that the American people do not support.”

He also said Johnson offered him a consulting position on his team.

“He talked about having a kitchen, a kitchen cabinet, a group that would be an advisory group for him, he asked me if I was interested and I told him I would wait to see what his proposal was on that,” Greene told reporters. . ‘Right now, he doesn’t have my support. I’m watching what happens with FISA and Ukraine. “Those are the two things we’ll be looking at.”

Johnson could now suspend the FISA bill again, meaning he wouldn’t need all of his Republicans to approve a rule, but he would need two-thirds of the House to pass a final bill.

This could further irritate Johnson’s detractors and push them into the arms of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to rescind the threat.

If Greene called her motion to vacate the floor, there would be a vote to oust Johnson from the presidency that would only need a small handful of Republicans to sign, if all Democrats vote again to remove a Republican president.

A senior Republican adviser told DailyMail.com there is a “strong” chance Republicans will accept the motion to kill the anti-FISA bill. [MTV] if Johnson were to put the bill back on hold.

“His suspension is another slap in the face to members who are already thinking about MTV.”

It’s still up in the air whether Greene acts on her move to unseat Johnson over FISA or IKRaine.

She and like-minded conservatives have warned the president not to bring foreign aid funding for Ukraine to a vote, saying the U.S. border crisis must be addressed first before doling out money for foreign wars.

However, calls from the White House, Ukrainian President Zelensky, Democrats and moderate Republicans to vote on aid to the embattled country are also putting Johnson in a difficult position.
