Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticised Republicans who oppose Kevin McCarthy’s bid for speaker of the House after a heated Republican conference meeting on Tuesday.
Speaking outside the room in the Capitol basement where House Republicans heard remarks from Mr McCarthy, who mounted a last-minute push to secure the 218 votes necessary to succeed his fellow Californian Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ms Greene complained about her colleague’s intransigence and said it was unproductive.
