Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, went after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, Thursday while speaking with Rep. Matt Gaetz on his Firebrand podcast.
McCarthy is responsible for the “failure of our leadership,” according to Greene.
“We know that Kevin McCarthy has a problem in our conference. He doesn’t have the full support to be speaker,” she said. “He doesn’t have the votes that are there.”

GOP members like herself and Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican, are under constant attack and have both been stripped of their committee assignments, she said.
McCarthy has failed to protect Republican members, according to Greene.
“There’s many of us that are very unhappy about the failure to hold Republicans accountable, while conservatives like me, Paul Gosar, and many others just constantly take the abuse by the Democrats,” she alleged.
McCarthy and weak leadership within the GOP have not only hurt strong conservatives but have enabled centrists, Greene said.
Rep. John Katko, a New York Republican, is a prime example, according to Greene.
“Katko is not a Republican. He’s a Democrat, and our conference, the NRCC, needs to stop playing this majority-maker game,” she said.
The majority-makers in the GOP reward centrists like Katko, who vote for President Joe Biden’s “socialism legislation,” impeachment, and Jan. 6 committee, Greene alleged.

“They make them ranking members,” she said. “They actually reward them, and they move them on the steering committee, where they’re involved in all kinds of decision-making, all kinds of roles and leadership, but they’re not actually Republicans.”
