“Mike Johnson has unfortunately not lived up to a single one of his self-imposed tenets,” Greene wrote.
“He is throwing our own razor-thin majority into chaos by not serving his own GOP conference that elected him,” she added.
While Greene does not indicate if or when she plans to force a floor vote on Johnson’s removal, the scathing rebuke marks her first direct pitch to the House GOP conference to join her push and indicates she is not backing down from her threat as lawmakers return to Washington following a two-week recess.
In a sharp warning, Greene also claimed she would “not tolerate” Johnson’s expected upcoming push to provide more aid to Ukraine, something he had voted against before he became speaker, and push for reauthorization of a law that permits warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals.
Greene has not said how much support she has, but with upcoming resignations scheduled to give House Republicans their narrowest majority yet — just a one-vote advantage — there is no margin for error, particularly in a Congress where any single lawmaker can force a vote seeking his ouster and where governing has proved to be near-impossible at times.
