On Tuesday, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp slammed House Republicans who were trying to force Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) out of his position as House Speaker which would again through the House of Representatives into a state of chaos as it was when former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was forced out in December.
Kemp comments were directed at Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who posted on X that he would be supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) motion to vacate the speakership.
“I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by @RepMTG,” Massie posted. “He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.”
Kemp responded: “Instead of bickering amongst themselves and handing Democrats control of the House, Republicans should do their damn job and vote on the important issues facing our nation. Enough is enough. I support @SpeakerJohnson.”
