Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) dismissed accusations that she is dividing the House of Representatives amid her criticism of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over the recently passed $1.2 trillion spending bill.

Greene filed a motion to vacate Johnson after the spending bill was passed, prompting some of her fellow Republican lawmakers to criticize the idea of vacating yet another speaker. Several House Republicans are also resigning due to the division within the party. Greene argued that those leaving are responsible for the further division of Congress as the Republican Party’s majority in the House continues to shrink.
