WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

      That’s because of the democrats’ shared platform of not being obstructionist disruptive morons.

      The rule change that McCarthy allowed also affects Democrats. So just 1 Republican vote can oust a Democratic Speaker. They really fucked over both sides.
