Marjorie Taylor Greene insists it will NOT be her fault if Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker or if Democrats take the House of Representatives after launching an effort to kick out Mike Johnson

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shed any blame for handing power to Democrats following her new bid to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.

Greene instead laid the blame on Republicans who left Congress before the end of their terms, naming Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Mike Gallagher, Wis.

‘It’s just a simple calculation. The more Republicans, like Mike Gallagher, resign and leave early – guess what, that means we have fewer Republicans in the House of Representatives,” Greene said on Real America’s Voice on Tuesday. ‘So every time a Mike Gallagher or a Ken Buck leaves early, which brings our numbers down and puts us dangerously closer to the minority.”

Buck had his last day on the job on Friday and Gallagher announced his shock resignation last week.

Once Gallagher leaves on April 19, Republicans can lose just one vote and still pass party-line legislation. After a special election in California in May for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s seat, that number will rise back to two — one of the smallest majorities in modern history.

But with Greene threatening Johnson’s chairmanship with a motion to vacate, some speculate he will be forced to bend to the will of Democrats, who could bail him out by voting down the motion.

Democratic sources have indicated they would vote to table — or kill — the motion if Johnson brings the Ukraine aid bill to the House of Representatives, which Greene has long opposed.

“It’s not Marjorie Taylor Greene telling the inconvenient truth and forcing everyone to wake up and realize that Republican voters are done doing last week’s nonsense,” she added, referring to the $1 spending bill .4 trillion.

“I’m not going to be responsible for Hakeem Jeffries being Speaker of the House of Representatives,” Greene said.

Some Republicans have left the chaos of this congressional term behind them. Speaker Kevin McCarthy resigned after being ousted from leadership, and Buck has said Republican dysfunction prompted him to run for the exits.

“I’m not going to be responsible for a Democratic majority taking over our Republican majority, which rarely falls on the shoulders of these Republicans who leave early because they don’t have the strength to take on the real fight and the responsibility that comes with it. with leadership and the end of our republic when our country is almost destroyed,” Greene insisted.

Earlier this week, Greene said Johnson had “let down” Republicans by not letting the outgoing Gallagher, a pragmatic and policy-oriented conservative, leave early enough to trigger a special election.

Under Wisconsin election law, a special election will be held to replace members of the House of Representatives if the seat becomes vacant the first week of April. If a seat becomes vacant afterward, as Gallagher wants, it could remain vacant until the next term of Congress.

“Speaker Johnson should force Mike Gallagher to leave early so his district can hold a special election, and any strong Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives would want to expel a House member for destroying our razor-thin majority in such a leaves a delicate, delicate state. We cannot allow this – we cannot allow this,” Greene said on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.

“Mike Gallagher betrayed us all,” Greene continued.

“And Speaker Johnson, as the one responsible for our majority, praised Mike Gallagher on Friday after he announced his departure, saying he’s great, and praising him and thanking him for his service in Congress,” she added .

A source close to Gallagher told DailyMail.com: Gallagher’s decision was “difficult and personal” and came “after discussions with his family.”

“Republican leadership in the House of Representatives was informed of this timeline and approved it,” the person said. “Moreover, if Vince Fong wins his election a few weeks after Congressman Gallagher’s departure, this will be a one-for-one trade and the number of Republicans in the House will be the same.”

On Friday, Greene filed a motion to evict, or a resolution that could impeach Johnson, over the spending bills he brought to the House. She said she wouldn’t immediately give the resolution the privilege of forcing a snap vote, but meant it as a “warning and a pink slip.”

But she also had strong words for the speaker on Sunday.

“Johnson cannot remain Speaker of the House of Representatives.”

Gallagher announced earlier this year that he will retire at the end of his term in Congress, following backlash for his vote against the impeachment of the Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas.

“After discussions with my family, I have made the decision to resign,” Gallagher said in a statement. ‘Effective from April 19.’

Gallagher, 39, has been in Congress since 2017. He shares two young daughters with his wife.

The policy-oriented, pragmatic conservative joins a slew of high-level retirees among the Republican ranks of the House of Representatives after a term in Congress marred by chaos.

Shortly after Gallagher’s announcement, Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, chair of the powerful Appropriations Committee, announced she would step down as chair. She has already announced that she will not seek re-election next term.

Friday was Colorado Rep. Ken Buck’s last day after an early resignation, making him the fifth Republican this year to run early or face expulsion in the case of Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y.
