Few things unite the Republican conference these days, but irritation with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is bringing them together.

Greene has been ripping into House Speaker Mike Johnson for weeks and circulated a five-page letter this week laying out her case to oust him. Republicans on Tuesday were mostly laughing off the effort, with some saying she’s out on a limb and seeking attention.

“It’s embarrassing in many ways,” said Rep. Troy Nehls, a Texas Republican.
