‘You Got Played’: Republicans Blame the Media for Marjorie Taylor Greene Furor

“If media coverage is power, she’s a pretty powerful person in Washington right now,” one Georgia GOP aide told NOTUS.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s will-she-won’t-she effort to force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson will continue another day. And as long as she’s got the eyes — and cameras — of the Capitol on her, some think there’s no end in sight.

“The longer y’all keep talking about it, the longer this thing will go,” Rep. Tim Burchett told reporters Monday.

Greene promised a vote on a motion to vacate Johnson this week, seven weeks after she first introduced it. That didn’t come on Monday, despite a two-hour meeting with the speaker that ended with no resolution. It didn’t happen Tuesday, either, after she and co-sponsor Rep. Thomas Massie had a second extended meeting with the speaker.
