Marjorie Taylor Greene’s constituents mixed over effort to oust House speaker
“She don’t put up with no crap. She speaks her mind, and she don’t water nothing down. She tells it like it is,” said Billy Taylor, 56, who lives in Paulding County.
For fans of the Rome Republican, such as Taylor, compromising on Johnson would be a sign of weakness. Taylor, an electrician, said he wants to see a House speaker who will “look out for everybody else, not just themselves.”
“I’m tired of the good-old-boys system where everybody is scratching everybody’s back,” he said. “I feel she don’t do that.”
Those in favor of Greene’s efforts said they, too, are angered by money sent overseas to Ukraine in its ongoing fight against Russia and Johnson’s refusal to suspend funding. Her fans were more supportive, however, of U.S. aid to Israel, which is engaged in war against Hamas militants.
Still, even for those who stand by Greene, many couldn’t point to a specific grievance with Johnson or his policymaking.
“I don’t know anything about him, so I don’t know if she’s spending her time carelessly or for the good,” said Brenda Cina, 77, who lives in Gordon County.
