None of the discussion that we had in caucus was
about saving Mike Johnson.
The underlying motion to vacate was not discussed.
The motion to table was and there is a distinction
there and it's not lost on me the role that
Mike Johnson played when the lead up to January 6th.
We saw that in our work on the January 6th
committee and it has not been forgotten by our members.
However, we want to turn the page.
We don't want to turn the clock back and let
Margie Taylor Green dictate the schedule and the calendar of
what's ahead.
We want to turn the page and focus on the
pressing issues that everyday Americans care about.
I'm not going to try to get in the head
of Marjorie Taylor Green.
I don't know what goes on in there to write
to bring that up.
The Republican rules that she voted for,
that we voted against, allow any single member to bring
this proposal up.
This is she is a legislative arsonist and she is
holding the gas tank and Kevin McCarthy allowed that to
happen.
That's not lost on anybody.
What we are saying is we don't need to be
a part of that.
Let's turn the page. Let's focus on the issues that
the American people care about.
There's an FAA bill that was dropped.
There's important work that we still have ahead.
So I haven't read her full statement,
but I'm not going to get into a back and
forth on what she means.
