Marjorie Taylor Greene Sets a Limit on Her GOP Loyalty: 'Totally Unacceptable'

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene lambasted the Republican Party for being unable to pass a budget, stating that she would refuse to vote for a continuing resolution in order to bail out her party.

Greene told reporters about her opposition to a CR while on her way to a conference meeting in which the passage of such a resolution would be discussed. The CR aims to continue pre-existing funding to allow Congress more time to pass new appropriations bills if passed in September.

Greene stated that she would refuse to vote in favor of a CR in September, and called the situation an "absolute failure" on the part of Republican leadership.

"Yes, I put it out on my social media," she said. "I'm not voting for September 30 CR. That is not what this majority should be about. Under Speaker [Mike Johnson's] leadership, we have had to vote on CR after CR after CR. I've only voted on one because President [Donald Trump] asked me to. That was earlier this year; but we have had the entire year to get our appropriations done and actually do our budget, our government funding. And it is an absolute failure to ask us to vote on a September 30 CR, and I'm not doing it."

"And if anyone doubts that I will hold my vote, then they need to look at the fact that I was the only Republican that was a no vote on the rule last week; and I voted no on the Genius Act because it opened a backdoor to a central bank digital currency. It's up to Speaker Johnson to get our appropriations done and that's what this conference meeting needs to be about; and the American people deserve that."

She took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday to state that she would not support the CR.

"I'm not voting for a September 30th CR. That is totally unacceptable. I'm giving everyone adequate notice," she wrote.
