Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spoke at Turning Point USA’s Detroit convention on Saturday, saying people may have to vote for “horrible, sh**ty” RINOs” in order to retain the GOP majority in the House. RINO is a pejorative term meaning “Republican in name only.”

“If you care about President Trump getting in the White House, you have to get all your friends and family, everyone you know to get out and vote for him, but you also may have to swallow down voting for that RINO, horrible, sh***y Republican you hate just so we can control the House,” Greene said to Steve Bannon, who also spoke at the convention.

“I want all the RINOs gone, but that’s the reality … if you care about the taxes you are forced to pay at gunpoint by the IRS, then you need to understand at home that the House of Representatives will be the body that writes the next tax code, so if you love President Trump’s idea for no tax on tips, you want every Republican you can get in the House of Representatives,” she said.

Greene, who is a former member of the far-right Freedom Caucus, has often been contentious with more moderate Republicans that some in the party have labeled RINOs. She implied Speaker Mike Johnson was a RINO, saying he was a “so-called Republican” in a rant about how he was working with Democrats.

Republicans currently hold a five-seat majority in the House, and November’s general election is widely expected to be a contentious one.

Trump’s recent push to eliminate taxes on tips has been a key part of his campaign messaging, an effort to reach working-class voters who aren’t looking to give any of their tips to the government. Greene is willing, for now, to work with who she describes as RINOs to pass legislation on it if the GOP can retake the House.
