Marjorie Taylor Greene backs off threat to oust Johnson as speaker [Video]

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on Tuesday to be backing off her threat to force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson this week, though she signaled that she’ll preserve her threat indefinitely — keeping Johnson on a tight leash as he navigates a one-vote majority in the chamber.

The development comes after Greene and Johnson met on Tuesday afternoon — their second meeting in as many days. The meetings came after Greene said she would force a vote to remove Johnson from the leadership post this week.

“I will tell you one thing I did say in there: I am so done with words,” Greene told reporters on the House steps Tuesday afternoon after the meeting with Johnson. “For me, it is all about actions. And that is all the American people care about.”
