Chaos In The House - Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes Rogue Against Fellow Republican

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America

and Marjorie Taylor Greene has just gone rogue against one fellow Republican in particular

and I think it shocked a lot of people because they used to be pretty close

Look, as Republicans, we are all frustrated with what's happened in the past two to three weeks

With the Speaker's race, and I personally have been very frustrated with Matt Gaetz

for putting us in this position to begin with. I blamed him, absolutely

We were fine, you know, things were going along slowly. But if we get Mike Johnson, who is definitely a MAGA Republican

if he becomes our Speaker, then I take back what I said about Matt Gaetz, and it was the right move, and, you know, I should have trusted the process more

I will absolutely admit that. If that's what happened, then, okay, Matt, you were correct

We got a better Speaker out of the deal, and we're great

But I think a lot of Republicans are still concerned, and I'm still concerned

with the damage that was done by not being able to elect a Speaker this long

and how it makes the party look, especially heading into the 2024 elections

for President, for House, for Senate, it makes it look like a party that can't govern

Now, can that be forgotten over the course of the next year? Maybe, and probably, but Democrats will most likely use it in their campaign ads

and it could be very effective. Well, Marjorie Taylor Greene, she's furious about it

and I want you to take a look at what she had to say. Need to figure out appropriation bills

You and I have talked a lot about this. Handicap the race for me

Who is possible is going to pop up, or pop down, or when

When can we have a Speaker, Marjorie? Well, Larry, I totally agree with you

We have to accomplish all those things. I'd like to remind everyone with a history lesson

Back in 1855, the Congress went two months with 133 ballots, trying to elect a Speaker of the House

Maybe that's what we go through again, because I think, and I would argue, the GOP is going through a big change, and it needs to be an America first change

That's what Republican voters want, and that's what the American people want, and that's what our country needs

I think we're going to see some more names come back in. Mike Johnson was very close in this last race earlier today

We saw Byron Donalds running, but he also admitted to the conference

that he had negotiated with Kevin McCarthy for himself to have an office in the Capitol

That was something that turned off our conference big time. We saw Kevin Hearn, big conservative chairman of the Republican Study Committee

was also getting votes. So we're going to have to get back in the room and see who's willing to run

and be a candidate for Speaker. But I also hope that there are eight Republicans who joined the Democrats

and ousted Kevin McCarthy. They need to apologize, and we need to heal our conference in order to move forward

You know, Margie, I'm so old. Now that you remind me, I remember the 1855 thing

I was around. I was a bit young at the time, but I was a researcher for Abe Lincoln in those days

But, you know, in all seriousness, what you say is important. I'm not going to pick winners

Now, it's interesting because we all love Marjorie Taylor Greene. Matt Gaetz is a favorite among our people, too, right

And here they are. And they're saying, you know, and a lot of people, even on the MAGA side are saying

you know, Matt, here's the mistake. You should have had a plan. You can't just get rid of the Speaker and not have a plan

And if that's the only lesson that comes from this whole thing, then that's a good thing

So we'd never do this again. If you're going to take out the leader, you better have another leader in mind

That goes that way. Have you ever seen any mafia movie you've ever seen? If you're going to take out the leader, you got to have another leader in mind, right

It's the same in business. You remove a CEO, you got to have a new CEO in mind

Well, you remove a Speaker, you got to have a new Speaker in mind. And they didn't have one

And that's the frustrating part for a lot of Republicans. Did it frustrate you guys

It frustrated me. Did it frustrate you guys? I want to know in the comments what you think about this whole thing

Also, please remember to like, share, and subscribe because that really helps us out
