Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) beat down on her own party on Thursday when she declared that — in her own opinion — Republicans don’t deserve to control the House.
The conspiracy theory-peddling Donald Trump acolyte — appearing via phone on the Real America’s Voice show “War Room” — renewed her monthslong attacks on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), this time for his work to avert a federal government shutdown. Trump had reportedly favored a shutdown in a bid to make the Joe Biden–Kamala Harris White House look bad.
“I share the anger and frustration, and I don’t think Republicans deserve to be re-elected to hold the majority,” said Greene. “And it’s a double-edged sword, and here it is.”
Greene urged voters “to elect President Trump in order to control the federal government, in order to take back all of these huge agencies and departments and set the course right.”

“We also have to control the House because if we don’t control the House, the Democrats are going to rewrite the tax code. That happens in Jan. 2025, so it’s a nasty double-edged sword,” she added.
“Look, vote for President Trump like your life depends on it, and then hold your nose and vote for that RINO that you absolutely hate, because we need a good tax code in place,” said Greene.
Those so-called RINOs could then be defeated in future primary elections and replaced by MAGA Republicans, Greene explained. “Everybody in their district needs to pick one woman or man that they’re going to get behind, and that’s how you primary these RINOs.”
