While supportive of Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and her fighting spirit, former President Donald Trump said that now was not the right time for the Republican Party to attempt to remove Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, as she tried to do on Wednesday.

“I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene,” President Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come. However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country.”
