Greene has been tweeting out support for Trump as speaker ever since Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was ousted from the job.
But on Thursday, she may have blown her Trump-as-speaker campaign with a social media post that, for many, clearly explains why the former president should not be given the job:
“If Trump becomes Speaker of the House, the House chamber will be like a Trump rally everyday!!
It would be the House of MAGA!!!”
Although Greene was enthusiastic about the possibility of Congress looking like a Trump rally (complete with Reps like Jim Jordan and Nancy Mace dancing to “Y.M.C.A.,” no doubt), others weren’t as excited about her dream.
Although other conservative politicians besides Greene want Trump to be the new House speaker, it’s probably not going to happen.
Illinois Democrat Rep. Sean Casten pointed out earlier this week on social media that the House adopted Rule 26 in January, which says that any GOP leader indicted of a felony with a potential prison sentence of two years or more needs to step aside.
