BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson Could Face Ouster Over Spending Deal

On Friday, the House of Representatives is set to vote on a $1.2 trillion spending package to keep the government open as the Saturday deadline looms. The bill has garnered significant backlash from conservative Republicans in Congress, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) even hinting that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) could face ouster for backing the deal, which will likely fail to get majority Republican support.

During an appearance on Steve Bannon's 'War Room' podcast on Friday morning, Bannon asked the Georgia Republican if she would lead the effort for a motion to vacate. Greene responded, "We are making that decision on a minute-by-minute basis today, Steve, and I think you can stay tuned."

During a speech on the House floor, Rep. Greene explained, "No Republican in good conscience can vote for the uniparty minibus. This is not a Republican bill. It is a Chuck Schumer, Democrat-controlled bill coming from the 'Republican-controlled' House. The Speaker of the House should not bring it to the floor."

"It is a complete departure from all of our principles, especially if you call yourself pro-life. This bill funds full-term abortion," Green said. "It is the will of our voters, and it is the will of Republicans across the country that this bill should not be brought to the floor. This bill will absolutely destroy our majority, and it will tell every single one of our voters that this majority is a failure. This is the bill that the White House cannot wait to sign into law. This is the bill that rips our border wide open and tells every single person in over 160 countries around the world they can invade our country. They can run over our border control. They can run over our Texas National Guard. They can come in and rape our women, murder our people, and take over our homes."

"This is an atrocious attack on the American people," she added. "The speaker of the House should not bring it to the floor, and this bill should not pass."
