Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) threatened to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) from the speakership if he agreed to a spending bill she dislikes.

Speaking with Real America’s Voice, Greene voiced her support for removing Johnson from his leadership position if he fails to deliver for hard-line conservatives, such as herself, growing frustrated with his perceived failures.

“In my meeting with him yesterday and many other members of Congress, I let Speaker Johnson know that in no way shape and form will I support any type of CR,” Greene declared. “We aren’t continuing … Nancy Pelosi’s budget, and that if he moves forward with a separate deal trading our border security, weakening HR 2 in exchange for $60 billion to Ukraine, I told him yesterday in his office that I would vacate the chair, that that is absolutely unacceptable. And we actually have the power of the purse. We’re the ones that are in control, and we need to control the negotiation.”

She concluded by remarking that the ball is now in his court.

Greene was likely referring to Thursday’s meeting that Johnson held with a number of conservative lawmakers, which he described as “thoughtful.”

“We’re having thoughtful conversations about funding options and priorities,” Johnson said on Thursday. “While those conversations are going on, I made no commitments.”

Conservatives made known their frustration on Wednesday when 13 lawmakers voted against a procedural vote that effectively brought Congress to a standstill. They warned of further action if Johnson struck a deal with the Democrats.

“We’re making a statement that what the deal as has been announced that doesn’t secure the border, and that doesn’t cut our spending — and it’s going to be passed, apparently, under suspension of the rules by predominantly Democrat votes — is unacceptable,” Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), chairman of the Freedom Caucus, said.
