Marjorie Taylor Greene Doesn't Like The Idea Of A Temporary House Speaker, Says Fixing Broken GOP Conference Requires 'Humility' And 'Putting The Egos Down'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has publicly voiced her disapproval of the Republican party’s proposal for a temporary House speaker.

What Happened: Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) failure to secure the necessary Republican support for House speaker led to the consideration of Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) as a temporary appointment through January.

This would allow for continuity and guidance through essential congressional business, including the upcoming Nov. 17 deadline to prevent a government shutdown.

However, Greene, a hard-line Republican from Georgia, strongly criticized the proposal, arguing that the Republican party is “completely broken.”

"I do not support this plan. Republican voters worked too hard to give us the majority for us to enter some sort of temporary speakership. Our conference has a responsibility to the American people, to our districts, to work together and unify, and this conference is absolutely broken," Taylor Greene told the media on Thursday.

"And the reason why we're broken is because Republicans worked with Democrats and put us here. It's outrageous. We have serious issues happening in our country. Terrorists have come across our border, war is breaking out in Israel, war is continuing in Ukraine, the economy is getting worse and worse and inflation is crushing everyone's ability to afford to live.”

She emphasized the need for “humility” and "putting the egos down" within the party, particularly from “the eight Republicans that worked with Democrats.“

"This is the most disappointing thing, and it has to change," she said.

Why It Matters: This came after Jordan had rescinded his support for the interim plan in response to opposition from Greene and other outlier representatives. He confirmed his intent to continue his campaign for speaker and proceed to a third vote.

The House GOP has been grappling with leadership issues since the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from the Speaker's role two weeks ago.

Jordan's plans for a third vote were put on hold as opponents showed no signs of relenting. Whether Jordan can gather enough support to claim the Speaker's position remains uncertain.
