Marjorie Taylor Greene Wants 8 Republicans To 'Apologize' For Ousting Kevin McCarthy And Triggering House Chaos: 'GOP Is Going Through A Big Change'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) demanded an apology from those within her party who voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as House speaker, stirring up a tumultuous atmosphere in the House GOP.

What Happened: Greene, during an appearance on Fox Business, emphasized that healing and unity within the Republican conference is necessary for progress.

"The eight Republicans who joined Democrats and ousted Kevin McCarthy, they need to apologize and we need to heal our conference in order to move forward," she said.

"So, we're gonna have to get back in the room and see who's willing to run and be a candidate for speaker," Greene said.

Why It Matters: The fallout from McCarthy’s ousting on Oct. 3, in a vote where eight Republicans sided with Democrats, has left the House of Representatives in limbo with no clear successor. Greene urges her colleagues to reconvene and select a suitable candidate for the speaker position.

The Republicans have nominated Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) as the latest contender for the role. This came after House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) withdrew four hours after his nomination. Johnson is the fourth nominee since McCarthy’s removal, with none of the previous candidates managing to secure enough votes for election.

Greene also highlighted that this is not an unprecedented situation, reminding viewers of a 1855 incident when Congress went two months without a House speaker. She speculated that the Republicans may face a similar ordeal due to ongoing changes within the party. "Back in 1855, the Congress went two months with 133 ballots trying to elect a speaker of the House," she said, adding "Maybe that's what we go through again because I think – and I would argue – the GOP is going through a big change. And it needs to be an America First change. That's what Republican voters want and that's what the American people want, and that's what our country needs."
