Fox News host Maria Bartiromo confronted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) Sunday for "creating chaos" in the U.S. House of Representatives.
During an interview on Sunday Morning Futures, Bartiromo noted that Greene was criticized for threatening to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) with a motion to vacate the chair.
"You're getting criticized on the left, on the right, in the media, you know, everybody, a lot of people are criticizing you," Bartiromo told Greene. "And the reason that they are is because they're saying that you're creating drama during this election year."
"How is this leading to reelecting President Trump?" the Fox News host wondered. "How is this leading to the American people believing that the Republicans can govern? People are saying, look, she's creating chaos. She's making the entire party look like it's disrupted."
Greene defended herself by suggesting her critics were not Americans.
"Yeah, those that are calling this drama are the very people that are responsible for the drama that the American people are having to live through every single day," the lawmaker quipped. "Speaker Johnson refuses to use his power as Speaker of the House to do any type of negotiating to secure the southern border and stop the madness in our country."
"The people criticizing me are not the American people," she added. "The American people agree with me, and I've talked to them, and I've seen it all over. They are outraged."
Greene said she intended to "fight harder" after the House passed aid for Ukraine.
"OK, Congresswoman, you wanted Mike Johnson out," Bartiromo pointed out. "What is your alternative plan?"
"Mike Johnson has betrayed America. He's betrayed Republican voters," Greene argued. "We're going to fight in Congress to do everything we can to stop this type of uniparty leadership. Mike Johnson's speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn't do so, he will be vacated."
