Representative Marjorie Taylor Greenewas booed on the House floor Wednesday afternoon by Republicans and Democrats after bringing forward her motion to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The Republican Georgia congresswoman has put pressure on Johnson in recent weeks, although many lawmakers in her own party have dismissed her efforts to vacate the speaker’s chair.

It is unclear which House members booed Greene’s motion on Wednesday, although Georgia congresswoman shot back at the heckling, saying, “This is the uniparty, for the American people watching.”

video of the moment was shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, by the liberal website MeidasTouch.

    Make no mistake: Republicans are doing this because they can see their polls are waning. They haven’t learned shit. They are still moving forward with Project 2025 and are taking steps to make sure that Trump “wins” in November.

    Their majority is waning and they know if they lose more members, the Democrats will have a majority going into the election.

    If they had balls, they’d out the speaker. But they know that in order to keep their power, they need to be pragmatic.

    Greene does not have that trait.
