Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out Johnson over House not meeting during shutdown

Source: ABC News

November 4, 2025, 11:32 AM


Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, appearing on ABC’s "The View" on Tuesday, called out Speaker Mike Johnson over the House staying out of session for weeks during the government shutdown, saying, "it's an embarrassment."

The outspoken Georgia Republican said, "I have no problem pointing fingers at everyone. And the worst thing that I that I just can't get over is we're not working right now. And I put that criticism directly on the speaker of the House, and we should be at work." While lawmakers are still getting their paychecks amid the shutdown, Greene said she is not taking her paycheck.

"I want all federal employees to be paid. I want all the programs to be funded, and I think that is our job, all of us together, Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate," she said. "Look, I am with women, so I feel very comfortable saying this, I am really tired of the pissing contest in Washington, D.C. between the men."

Greene continued to air her grievances with congressional GOP leaders, saying, "When I talk about weak Republican men, I am pretty much talking oftentimes about the leadership in the House and Senate, and they are just not getting our agenda done."

but she is going hard after House Repubs.
Of course, after the govt. is reopened, I expect her to revert back to her old self, but for now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend...............for now.

2. I agree, I thought she acted like a decent person today. I wish someone would ask what it is she likes about Trump.

Also question her about her nasty comments about the Parkland and the Sandy Hook shootings. I agree with comment about eliminating the capital gains tax on the sale of a home.

I think it is his willingness to promote all the CT stuff. She is drenched in the "government controls the weather", "Jewish Space Lasers", "Aliens at Area 51", "vaccines have microchips" type of CT stuff.

Epstein was the main CT - the "sex trafficking and pedophiles ring" thing that started the most extreme wing of the MAGat movement and they were "promised" to have all of those files released because "the deep state" was hiding them, and now they are realizing their own ARE "the deep state".

Railing against the male establishment, sidling up to her female colleagues, solidarity with Democrats because everything is stalled, but but but still pushing "our agenda". She doesn't mean Democrat's offerings for sure.

She can piss off Chump or Johnson if she wants to, and she won't be primaried. It's not that she's suddenly seen the light ... it's that she probably wants to be the next Speaker.

13. I still say she is laying the groundwork for running for president.

She'll push it as being a gender-based contest... the men running "pissing contests" between themselves, but what the repuglicans do to and have done to women... even women representatives of their own party... is going to be hard to get around. The fact that she has backed every one of those restrictions is going to high mountain, IMO.

People don't trust her, and with good reason. The fact she is steeped in every conspiracy theory running around out here doesn't help her, IMO. Only the most idiotic, brain dead magas would vote for her. Which is the reason she's not going to burn her bridges with trump. He is her lifeline with magas.

But I have to give credit where credit is due.

Whoever transformed Marge into a normal human being is a genius.

8. Didn't I just see on DU that her change was caused by Trump telling her that she couldn't run for the Senate in GA?

I thought she had an epiphany from hanging with the Epstein survivors.
I always give people too much credit.

I haven't seen the changes everyone's talking about. But if her soul is still touting the cruel policies of repuglicans, she can't hide that forever. That evil shows in a person... it really can't be hidden.
