Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) insists she bears no responsibility if Republicans lose their majority in the House.

During an interview with “Real America’s Voice” Tuesday, Greene spoke about the shrinking Republican majority due to lawmakers retiring early.

“Every time a Mike Gallagher or a Ken Buck leaves early, that brings our numbers down and brings us dangerously closer to being in the minority,” she said.

Greene added, “It’s not Marjorie Taylor Greene that is saying the inconvenient truth and forcing everyone to wake up and realize Republican voters are done with us doing this kind of crap that we did last week.”

Her comment come after former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) left Congress last week, and as Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) is slated to retire next month.

Those retirements will leave Republicans with a 217-213 majority, meaning they will just have a one vote margin to pass bills without Democratic support.

And the shrinking majority has led to concerns among Republicans that they might lose their majority and see a Democrat elected speaker.

“I am not going to be responsible for Hakeem Jeffries being Speaker of the House,” Greene insisted.

She added, “I am not going to be responsible for a Democratic majority taking over our Republican majority that lies squarely rarely on the shoulders of these Republicans that are leaving early because they don’t have the intestinal fortitude to handle the real fight and the responsibility that comes with leadership and the end of our republic when our country is nearly destroyed.”

Last week, Greene introduced a measure to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) after the chamber passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill.

Greene has also called for Johnson to expel Gallagher from the House to ensure the seat will be made vacant in time for a special election to be held.
