Marjorie Taylor Greene backs off threat to oust Johnson as speaker

[Dulcinea]

(ABC News) Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on Tuesday to be backing off her threat to force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson this week, though she signaled that she'll preserve her threat indefinitely -- keeping Johnson on a tight leash as he navigates a one-vote majority in the chamber.

The development comes after Greene and Johnson met on Tuesday afternoon -- their second meeting in as many days. The meetings came after Greene said she would force a vote to remove Johnson from the leadership post this week.

"I will tell you one thing I did say in there: I am so done with words," Greene told reporters on the House steps Tuesday afternoon after the meeting with Johnson. "For me, it is all about actions. And that is all the American people care about."

1. 'I am so done with words.'

2. MTG knows the vote would be 534 to 1. Waste of time.

6. I hope Johnson told her to go to hell.

I'm no fan of his, but I really despise that skanky attention hog.

3. I would say she's in the wrong business since politics is all about words

I guess she thinks inciting riots and leaving bombs around is better than talking

4. You're right Marge.

We are looking for action. Action your GQP-led house isn’t providing. You may still be there in January, but your majority will not.

We’ll be sure to make that real in November.

5. I certainly don't feel that MTG is in a position to speak for the American people
