WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

He actually just said he wouldn’t hold up support any further. He must’ve seen this coming.

Imagine his view of the Republican caucus shit-show. I'll bet he's downright desperate to get out at this point.

Luckily MAGA was there for him to be Putin his place.

Knowing him this is less of a matter of conscience and more a "fuck it I'mma burn this bitch to the ground on the way out".

Probably more the swing-district republicans saying, "Government shutdowns always get blamed on the GOP. You gotta take one for the team here. Take it up with Donald later."
