Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene did not mince words during a Fox Business interview when it came to describing her main political rivals in the Democratic Party.

The Georgia Republican was asked to respond to reports that the U.S. Treasury Department under President Joe Biden and Secretary Janet Yellen have confirmed that terms like “MAGA” and “Trump” were used in searches of private bank transactions.

“The Democrats are straight-up Communists,” MTG began. “They have abused their powers, spied on the American people.”

“Think about the way they censored people, threw people off social media—they used every ounce of power that they had, and it was all for political reasons,” she continued.

She went on to complain about a handful of Republicans who voted with all Democrats last week against impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his refusal to enforce immigration and border security laws.

WATCH:

Greene made headlines last month when she filed a motion to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership amid anger about the government funding bill.

“The House would have to consider Greene’s motion within two legislative days after she is recognized. The chamber is heading for a two-week recess, and Greene told reporters she would not call up the resolution on Friday, which means the clock to force a vote has not started,” Axios reported.

“After Greene filed the motion, she was swarmed by her Republican colleagues. A source close to the conversations told CNN that a number of fellow GOP lawmakers were trying to convince the Georgia Republican not to bring the motion. Two of the lawmakers who were there, GOP Reps. Barry Loudermilk and Kat Cammack, were observed to be in an extended conversation with Greene,” the outlet added.

Greene spoke to reporters and said: “Short or getting the vote is necessary how can you find someone to succeed Mike Johnson who can get the votes and keep the conference together and not plunge the chamber into chaos? It because the country is in crisis. We have a border invasion happening every single day. People under 30 years old has lost hope for their future. The younger generations cannot afford to buy homes, and inflation is running rampant.”

“Our country is in crisis and we need real leaders who know how to fight and know how to walk into the ring and do not get rolled by the deep state, or by the Democrats do not get rolled into doing whatever it takes to maintain that power and position. We need to speak of the house that actually represents the people. This is not Washington, D.C., this is the people’s house. >> Warning sign but you bottom line wants Johnson out.
Motion to vacate if we didn’t need a new speaker. I have respect for him as a person but he is not doing the job – and the proof is in the vote count today. He passed a budget that should have not been brought to the floor and it was passed with the Democrats and without the majority,” she added.

WATCH:

Raj Shah, a spokesman for Johnson, said the speaker’s focus is “on governing. He will continue to push conservative legislation that secures our border, strengthens our national defense and demonstrates how we’ll grow our majority.”

The House won’t consider the motion until after it returns from a two-week recess on April 9, according to an official familiar with the process.

Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, who pushed for a vote to remove McCarthy as speaker, stated on Thursday that he does not support a motion to evict Johnson.

“If we vacated this speaker, we’d end up with a Democrat,” Gaetz told reporters. “When I vacated the last one, I made a promise to the country that we would not end up with the Democrat speaker. And I was right. I couldn’t make that promise again.”

Asked how that could happen, Gaetz said, “We’d have Republicans cross over. I worry that we’ve got Republicans who would vote for Hakeem Jeffries at this point. I really do. I take no joy in saying that. But you can only vacate the speaker if you know that the party leadership won’t change hands. I knew that with certainty last time. I don’t know it with certainty this time.”
