Marjorie Taylor Greene Baselessly Claims She’s ‘Not Full of Sh*t Like Mike Johnson Is’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed that she is “not full of shit like Mike Johnson is” during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s show.

It was just the latest salvo fired at Johnson by MTG, who has emerged a loud critic of the House Speaker in recent weeks, inserting herself at the center of a potential vote to vacate the speakership just months after Johnson was voted in to replace ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

“They know I mean exactly every single word I say,” Greene told Bannon on his show Friday. “And I’m not full of shit, just like Mike Johnson is. And I’m actually going to follow through with actions instead of lie to people on television and in press conferences and out on the campaign trail.”

Here’s the thing, though. Greene is famously full of shit. There is an impossibly long list of nonsense statements dotted throughout her political career, including a number of claims she has had to apologize for. Remember her claims about “Jewish Space Lasers” or QAnon conspiracy theories, theories she has since apologized to her Republican colleagues for amplifying.

Future historians will debate which of the two is most full of shit, but there is no question that Marjorie Taylor Greene currently has the advantage. You can add her claim on Bannon’s show to her long and growing list of total whoppers.
