During a press conference outside the Capitol on Wednesday morning, Greene told reporters she will force a vote on her motion to vacate the speaker's chair next week."I can't wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican Speaker and have to go home to their primaries and have to run for Congress again, having supported a Republican Speaker, a Christian conservative.
But, she said, "my constituents and I want a functioning Congress. I will vote to end the chaos and to strip MTG of her power and influence."One House Democrat speculated Johnson is "trying to bring this to a head so that Republicans are forced to decide between crazy and just plain old arch-conservative."
"Filing it and losing is better for her crazy narrative about how all Republicans are Democrats now."
