'Huge win for Democrats': Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks 'sell-out' Speaker Mike Johnson

Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene is upset with GOP leadership and congratulating Democrats on what she deems a major victory.
Greene, who recently said that she thinks Democrats want to put her in a "reeducation camp," posted a video on social media in which she rants about Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Greene supported Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who was the prior speaker and who announced Wednesday that he was leaving his position in government.
Now, Greene is upset by Republican leadership due to the National Defense Authorization Act.
"OUTRAGEOUS: Leadership is asking members of the NDAA 'conference' to sign the 3000+ page conference report which is being released behind closed doors without even getting time to read it!" Greene wrote Wednesday. "Speaker Johnson worked with Chuck Schumer to cut a deal that removes all abortion and trans surgery prohibitions we passed under Speaker McCarthy. It also would pass a CLEAN FISA extension."
Greene also appeared bothered by the funding of Ukraine's defense against Russia.
"Not to mention, more of your taxpayer dollars sent to Ukraine to fund the proxy war," she added. "No member of the NDAA conference had any influence on this process. It was done in secret meetings with no input from conferees."
Greene thinks the funding decision are a huge win for Democrats, even going as far as to say that Johnson sold out his conservative principles.
"Now, we’re supposed to just grin and take it with no say in the final bill. Is the GOP really going to fund abortion vacations and trans surgeries, fund the Ukraine war, all with a CLEAN FISA extension under Speaker Johnson?" she asked. "This was a total sell-out of conservative principles and a huge win for Democrats. Congratulations to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, you should all be excited to vote for this! I’m a HELL NO!"
