Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Matt Gaetz, Seven Other Republicans ‘Need to Apologize’ For Triggering House Chaos

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said the eight Republicans who voted to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker should apologize to “heal the conference.”

McCarthy got the boot three weeks ago when Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a motion to vacate, thus triggering a vote on whether McCarthy would keep his job. Gaetz and seven other Republicans joined 208 Democrats to fire him. Since then, the GOP conference has nominated three candidates, all of whom withdrew their names after discovering they did not have enough votes of the full House to win.

Greene appeared on Tuesday’s Kudlow on Fox Business at a time several Republicans were vying for the speakership nomination.

“Handicap the race for me,” Larry Kudlow told her. “When can we have a speaker, Marjorie?”

Greene responded with a bit of trivia.

“Back in 1855, the Congress went two months with 133 ballots trying to elect a speaker of the House,” she replied. “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.”

She then listed a few of the speaker candidates before turning her attention to the eight Republicans who helped put the House on this path.

“So, we’re gonna have to get back in the room and see who’s willing to run and be a candidate for speaker,” she said. “But I also hope the 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.”
