Mr. Jeffries you are right. They need to get rid of her.😡

[sherylmarshall]

please oust MTG... how do we do THAT??

[borgsiam]

MTG has no shame. She should be outcasted from the US.

[markushayes]

Time for MTG to get the George Santos treatment.

[lenzellkaufman]

Now please get rid of MTG from Congress

[Longtack]

Greene is a divisive element in times of much needed cohesion and unity. Kick her out.

[socialmediacookiejar]

It was so awesome watching her meltdown, lol

[tpliscon]

What greene is to simple minded to understand is both parties need to work together for the betterment of our country.
Ignorant people will never get it.

If the Maga movement loves Russia then why not move there. Please.

She knew it wouldn't pass. This is all for media attention.

[homiehomerson]

Perjury Traitor Greed is a disgrace to our nation.

[davidderowan]

How the voters in Georgia can support her is ridiculous

[whiskyjames]

She needs to go ASAP. .. including Donald Trump.

I'm puzzled. Why don't they reverse the authority for a single Congressman or Congresswoman to initiate a motion to vacate the Speaker of the House?

[MrTmm]

God forbid we have some bipartisan efforts.. I don’t know how she got elected. Governing isn’t about who wins and loses or who is able to pass what… it’s about keeping order and serving to people. Keeping the house on topics that can potentially help the American people by tabling the vote this time was the right thing to do.

Uniparty = anyone who doesn't agree with MTG.

[barrysmith]

I'm not a MAGA Mike fan but MTG is the one that should be ousted....not just from congress but from Washington and better yet from is calling you Marge !

[uNails]

The rebuttal to Marj was the sound of Americans refusing chaos, and the circus party politics. MTG, if you cannot lead, get out of the way for those who can.

[maggiemims]

That is how you compromise for the good of the Country! Thank you mr.jeffries

[ManyfiresWoman]

MTG's failures always put a smile on my face! 🤭
