Summary
- Greene
criticized Johnson for not presenting a healthcare plan. - She
accused GOP leadership of neglecting Americans’ healthcare needs. - Greene
publicly denounced her own party’s inaction.
Greene attacked Johnson on social media after a reporter
revealed that she had expressed her frustration with House Republicans
following the lead of White House political staff during a previous conference
call.
During the discussion, she also allegedly stated that she
wanted Senate Republicans to abolish the filibuster so they could circumvent
Democrats and reopen the government.
“You left out that I said I have no respect for the House
not being in session passing our bills and the President’s executive orders,”
the conservative firebrand wrote on X, taking a shot at Johnson for not keeping
the House in session amid the shutdown.
Her most pointed criticism, however, focused on the
speaker’s failure to present a Republican health care plan to replace the
Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
“I demanded to know from Speaker Johnson what the Republican
plan for healthcare is to build the off-ramp off Obamacare and the ACA tax
credits to make health insurance affordable for Americans,”
Greene said.
“Johnson said he’s got ideas and pages of policy ideas and committees of
jurisdiction are working on it, but he refused to give one policy proposal to
our GOP conference on our own conference call.”
“Apparently I have to go into a SCIF to find out the
Republican healthcare plan!!!”
she added, referring to a room in which
classified documents can be viewed.
A Johnson spokesperson did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
