'Not Worried': Mike Johnson Brushes Off Marjorie Taylor Greene's Ouster Threat

The House speaker weighed in after Greene claimed she would file a motion to vacate the chair if Johnson backs additional funding for Ukraine.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) dismissed threats by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday after she claimed she’d move to oust him from the speaker’s chair if he supports additional aid for Ukraine.

Johnson weighed in after Greene told Fox News on Sunday that she’d bring a motion to vacate the chair if the speaker supported a bipartisan deal that would include funding for Ukraine along with U.S. border security.

Johnson told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that he wasn’t “worried” about the threats to his job.

“I have a job to do. We all have to do our jobs. Marjorie Taylor Greene is very upset about the lack of oversight over the funding and the lack of articulation of a plan, as am I, all of us,” he said.

Greene argued last week that it’d be a “failing, losing” strategy if a deal involved trading billions for Ukraine “for our own country’s border security.”
