MTG: I’ll “Vacate” Johnson If He Approves Ukraine Aid

The Messenger reports:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Friday said she will fight pairing supplemental aid for Ukraine and border security together even if she has to file a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., because it is a “failing” strategy.

“We don’t have to trade $60 billion for Ukraine for our own country’s border security,” Greene told reporters on Capitol Hill Friday. “That is a failing, losing strategy and I will never support it. I’ll fight it as much as possible. Even if I have to go so far to vacate the chair and there’s others that agree with me.”

Greene’s comments come as Johnson has decided to stick to his guns in supporting the bipartisan funding deal that includes further aid for war-torn Ukraine and enhancements to U.S. border security.
