MTG Escalates Threat To Oust Johnson In New Memo

The Guardian reports:

In the five-page memo sent to her Republican colleagues on Tuesday morning, Greene laid out a detailed case against the speaker, accusing Johnson of failing to deliver on promises he ran on and breaking legislative procedural rules. Johnson is “throwing our own razor-thin majority into chaos by not serving his own GOP conference that elected him”, Greene wrote.

“With so much at stake for our future and the future of our children, I will not tolerate this type of Republican ‘leadership’. This has been a complete and total surrender to, if not complete and total lockstep with, the Democrats’ agenda that has angered our Republican base so much and given them very little reason to vote for a Republican House majority.”

In a “Dear Colleague” letter, Greene escalated her threat to oust Johnson, alleging that he “broke our conference rules and the promises we made to voters.”
