Marjorie Taylor Greene rebukes Mike Johnson's "hypocrisy"

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, on Saturday for his "hypocrisy" when dealing with a looming government shutdown.

Before Johnson was elected as speaker in late October, he told his GOP colleagues that he would put a stopgap bill on the House floor if needed to avoid a government shutdown. He did just that in November with what he described as a "laddered" continuing resolution or CR.

The CR, which was ultimately passed, extends government funding for the Veterans Affairs Department, Transportation Department, Housing and Urban Development Department and Energy Department, as well as for military construction until January 19. The rest of the government has funding until February 2.
