Jesse Watters Asks Mike Johnson If He Has 'Nightmares' About Marjorie Taylor Greene

Jesse Watters on Wednesday asked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) a prying question about the thorn in his side, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). 

Do you have nightmares about her? the Fox News host asked the speaker. 

No, I dont, Johnson replied. I dont think about her at all.

The moment came after Watters pressed Johnson on frustrations from some Republicans that he had worked with Democrats to pass a $96 billion aid package for U.S. allies including Ukraine.

A lot of Republicans are mad at you, speaker. Theyre very, very angry at you. You said you they said you betrayed them, Watters said. 

Johnson called it nonsense, pointing to his partys razor-thin majority in the House.

We dont have a functioning majority. When you can only lose one vote, if one person has a different idea we dont, he said.

So, its like a coalition government? Watters asked.

No, were trying to prevent that. Were trying to keep the Republicans working together. And weve gotten better policy, better process, and were getting things done, Johnson said. 

He then offered a veiled swipe at Greene, who is threatening to file a motion to vacate Johnsons speakership because he allowed the aid package to advance.

But its very difficult when very individualistic, individual-minded Republicans dont want to move together as a bloc, he said.

Is that Marjorie Taylor Greene? Watters interrupted.

Im not going to name any names, Jesse. You know, you know who they are, he replied.

After the aid package passed on Saturday, Greene told Fox News, Mike Johnsons speakership is over. She vowed to initiate the effort to oust him, but days later, has not yet made a move. 

If she does, shell likely face an uphill battle getting the votes she needs. Few Republicans have publicly expressed interest in ousting Johnson, and several Democrats have said they would not support such an attempt.

Only a handful of Democrats would need to step in to save Johnsons job should the matter be put to a vote.
