U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed that her disagreements with her party’s leadership led to a recent call in which she “yelled ” at Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA).
The Georgia Republican recounted in a NewsNation interview that she unloaded on Johnson for his “complete and total” failure in handling the ongoing government shutdown.
Pointing to Democratic wins in Tuesday’s elections, Greene said she believed the results were a “referendum” on not delivering what November 2024 was about.”

She noted that “historically,” the majority power in government loses in the midterm elections, and the Democratic Party may have “the upper hand” going into 2026.
“But Republicans would be the ones handing Democrats the victory by not passing our agenda, and the fact that the House has been closed for six weeks now is a complete and total utter failure, and that’s on the speaker of the House,” she said.
“While the rest of America is going to work every single day, you’re going to work, people in this building are going to work, Mike Johnson is telling us to stay home and not do our jobs,” Greene continued.
She then revealed how, in a recent Republican Party conference call, she let Johnson know what she thought of the job he was doing.
“I yelled at him on the phone on our GOP conference call, [asking,] ‘Where is our health plan? It’s nonexistent. Democrats created this problem years ago, but Republicans have never fixed it.’ And I said, ‘We need to be back at work and not being in session is basically pathetic,” the congresswoman recounted.
His response, she said, was to give her “the same talking points he gives to the press every single day.”
Thank you Pres Trump!
This is what I called for from the very beginning.
Since Democrats REFUSE to fund the government, Senate Republicans need to use the nuclear option and override the filibuster!!
Enough of the drama.

“I get the text messages every single day that we have got to do something to make health insurance more affordable,” Greene said.
“They are appalled and outraged, and they’re sending me, ‘Oh my health insurance is going to go from $800 a month and it’s going up to $3,200 a month.’ These are the messages, but we’re getting the phone calls coming in,” she added. “I even have colleagues texting me now, ‘You’re right, we’ve gotta do something.’”
