Marjorie Taylor Greene faces GOP backlash after failed bid to oust speaker
WASHINGTON — A throng of media crowded around U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday evening on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, straining to hear her angry reaction after a bipartisan coalition of House members dismissed her efforts to oust Mike Johnson as House speaker.
But also nearby, still within earshot, were roughly a dozen other GOP lawmakers who wanted to make sure the media knew they were outraged, too. Congressman Rich McCormick, R-Suwanee, said even some lawmakers who like Greene and are unhappy with Johnson did not approve of her surprise move to force a vote on her motion to vacate.
“They were angry that she brought it to the floor today, thought there was a betrayal of them against what they had agreed on,” he said.

The Speaker has the authority to remove her from committees assignments, for one thing.
