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."
