Republican Infighting Continues as House GOP Blames Marjorie Taylor Greene for Lack of Border Wins, Call Her an ‘Idiot’ | Latin Post [Video]

The failure to pass a bipartisan border package supported by many Republicans has been blamed on none other than far-right Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and the House Freedom Caucus as the infighting in the party continues as the election approaches fast.

This comes amid a string of Democratic victories in the House as the bill to fund Ukraine was passed even though several prominent Republicans led by Greene have been very vocal about opposing it. Her ultra-conservative wing of the GOP has led the Republican backlash against the bill, with Greene even leading a failed attempt to kick Republican Speaker Mike Johnson out of his position.

Because Greene pushed Johnson enough that he sought help from Democrats to save his position, many members of the Republican Party believe they could have gotten concessions from the Democrats on border policy in exchange for Ukraine funding. This suggestion was blown up by the party’s more conservative members, according to Axios.
