The Georgia Republican plans to resign in early January, following an acrimonious public feud with her former close ally President Trump

Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly weighing a plot to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson before she retires in early January and is quietly gauging if she has the nine votes inside the Republican party to trigger a vote.

“Marjorie is approaching members to get to nine who will oust the speaker,” an anonymous source told MS Now. “And if we don’t get to work on codifying Trump’s agenda, anything can happen.”

The Georgia Republican previously tried to oust Johnson last year in protest at a foreign aid deal for Ukraine, and she has been a consistent critic of Johnson’s work throughout the second Trump administration this year.

    She never deserved to get known by those initials in the first place. Her name isn’t difficult to say. They were just envious of AOC and forced it.

    I always just called her Greene or Marjorie Greene. Hopefully it’s all moot now anyways and we can forget about her.

      AOC was probably more out of necessity since white America can’t handle a simple pronunciation.

      Although mispronouncing Marjorie Greene would probably really piss her off. Rep. Greené

        I thought it was hilarious when some RW jagoff was trying to get “Sandy” off the ground as far as how they talked about AOC. Probably around the same time they thought they were really coming in off the top rope with a flying elbow by sharing that video of her…dancing? During college?

        Both were bellyflops. Most people on the left just loved sharing those dancing videos because it made her all the more relatable? And, FFS, she is a smokeshow anyway, this just made that fact go viral…yeah, conservatives, you really made everyone in the United States quake in their shoes over this totally hot woman seen…now hold onto your pearls for this one… dancing during college. You’d think they were the town elders out of Footloose or something, LOL. Oh, oh, oh, I know, also this: call her SANDY, and emphasize that she had a working class job like a BARTENDER! BOO! HISS!!!
