Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday, saying Republican supporters were angry at the lawmaker for his role in passing a trillion-dollar spending bill.

Last month, the House passed the $1.2 trillion spending package to prevent a government shutdown, with the majority of Republicans voting against it. Many GOP lawmakers fumed at the passage of the package due to spending increases in the bill like a $27 billion boost for the Pentagon and $300 million more for Ukraine. The package also lacked provisions for Republican policies like stronger borders.
