Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-NY) has had it with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and the turmoil she has wrought in the House of Representatives.
Last month, Greene filed a motion to vacate the chair, thus putting Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) job at risk. The congresswoman slammed Johnson’s decision on Wednesday to hold a vote on aid to Ukraine, which Greene has opposed.
“I don’t know how long people are going to tolerate this because he’s doing nothing but serving the Democrats,” she told CNN. Greene seems poised to press the issue and force a vote of the full House on Johnson’s speakership.
Hours later, Molinaro joined CNN’s The Source, with guest host John King, who noted that Molinaro narrowly won his election last year in a district President Joe Biden carried by five points.
Molinaro said he does not cast votes based on election margins before noting the divided nature of the government.
“We have a bipartisan government, and the only way good policy is gonna be made better, the only way we’re gonna stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies – Israel and Ukraine – the only way we push back against evil like Putin, is to do it in a bipartisan way,” Molinaro stated. “And I want to be judged by my ability and willingness to work across the aisle with anyone who’s honest and earnest about solving the problems that face America and the people I serve.”
The response prompted King to ask about one of Molinaro’s fellow Republicans:
KING: Is Marjorie Taylor Greene honest in earnest?
MOLINARO: Her theater and this constant effort to hold the Congress hostage has to come to an end. I’m gonna have no part in it. And a good number of my colleagues – conservative and moderate – believe that enough is enough. It is time to move on and to move past this kind of nonsense.
