House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has made it clear that Democrats are stepping in to control Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Don't miss Predatory Is The Daily, Sarah Jones' essay on Kristi Noem.
Leader Jeffries said during his weekly press conference:
From the start of this Congress, House Republicans have brought chaos, dysfunction, and extremism to the American people. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the star of the show. The show is called Republican Gone Wild. This is undermining the well-being of the American people and preventing us from delivering real, meaningful results on important issues.
House Republicans are unwilling or unable to rein in Marjorie Taylor Greene and the extreme MAGA Republicans. So a bipartisan vote will be needed. Coalitions and partnerships to achieve that goal. We need more common sense and less confusion in Washington DC. The Republicans have done nothing but create chaos.
We are doing business with common sense.

The Democrats' decision to agree to Greene's removal from office had nothing to do with Mike Johnson and everything to do with controlling Marjorie Taylor Greene and ending the chaos in the House. Republicans can't or won't do anything about Greene, so Democrats will take matters into their own hands.
The House minority has never had so much power.
As Republicans relinquish control of the House, Hakeem Jeffries steps in to end Marjorie Taylor Greene's starring role in the House GOP chaos.
