During an appearance on MSNBC Wednesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that Marjorie Taylor Greene is the one who is currently running the Republican Party.
"House Republicans are engaged in another partisan, political stunt," Jeffries said in regards to the GOP effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. "They apparently have been ordered to do so by Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene."

"Because these are the individuals who are basically running the House Republican Conference," Jeffries said. "Which is why we've seen nothing from this do-nothing Republican Congress but chaos, dysfunction and extremism."
"We should be focused on issues related to the economy, inflation, national security, public safety, fixing the border," he continued. "There are many challenges that we're ready, willing and able to confront with our Republican colleagues in a bipartisan way, but they've basically spent this Congress engaging in reckless political activity designed to distract from their failed agenda."
As Newsweek points out, Greene celebrated the articles of impeachment leveled at Mayorkas, saying, "This is happening because I forced a floor vote on my Mayorkas articles of impeachment back in November and Democrats and eight Republicans voted to move my articles to our Homeland Security Committee giving us jurisdiction."
