House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries made it clear that Democrats are stepping in to rein in Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Don’t miss Sarah Jones’ article on Kristi Noem, “Predatory Is the Top of the Daily News.”
Leader Jeffries said at his weekly press conference:
From the beginning of this Congress, House Republicans have seen the chaos, dysfunction, and extremism of the American people. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the star of the show. The play is called “Mad Republicans.” It is harming the well-being of the American people and preventing us from achieving real and meaningful results on important issues.
House Republicans are either unwilling or unable to rein in Marjorie Taylor Greene and the extreme “MAGA” Republicans. So it will require a bipartisan vote. alliances and partnerships to achieve this goal. We need more common sense and less chaos in Washington, DC. The Republicans have done nothing but create chaos.
We are in the common sense business.

Democrats’ decision on Greene’s withdrawal motion has nothing to do with Mike Johnson and everything to do with reining in 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.
Republicans have relinquished control of the House, so Hakeem Jeffries is stepping in to end Marjorie Taylor Greene’s starring role in the House Republican chaos.
