Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted out a statement on social media Thursday, voicing her frustration over the slow pace at which votes are taking place in Congress.
Greene didn’t mention House Speaker Mike Johnson specifically, but she clearly has concerns with the way he is operating.
Below is her full statement:
Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just going to tell you what l’ve been told.
There is extreme frustration, rightfully so and I agree, not seeing DOGE cuts being passed through Congress in the form of rescission bills.
I have been told that White House OMB is working with the House Appropriations Committee on a rescission package that we are supposed to see after we get done arguing with each other over this reconciliation bill – Trump’s big beautiful bill.
And I’m still unclear why we aren’t passing executive orders every week. I was told we are waiting to get done with reconciliation. And that a portion of them have already been drafted with input from the WH.
In my opinion we should walk and chew gum at the same time.
So far this week, we saw members of Congress fall asleep in absurdly long overnight committee markups for reconciliation, we have voted to rename a park and a historical site, and voted on the 19th antisemitism bill since l’ve been in Congress. 19! I skipped that vote yesterday because I’m not going to participate in that constant demand.
I just want to pass President Trump’s America First agenda that America voted for in November! That’s all.
[I] have no idea [why] it’s so hard.
In a follow-up statement, Greene added, “I was told the DOGE cuts are being packaged together into a recession package by the White House OMB office and will be sent to the House appropriations committee after we finish the reconciliation budget bill that Republicans like Mike Lawler are fighting against.
“That’s not the way I would go about this. I would pass them every week however I will be happy to vote for them in any form asap. I think DOGE is one of the most important things happening in the government. Getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse is truly our responsibility and priority.”
