News that beleaguered former House Speaker. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will leave the House of Representatives this year is panicking some far-righters who now fear losing the majority — and they say one person is to blame.
“When we lose the House majority in 2024 to Hakeem Jeffries, you can all blame [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene],” white supremacist conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer posted to X Wednesday.
“Now he’s getting all his buddies in Congress to retire early with him so that Dems take the House. And they will.”
Loomer argued to her 600,000 X followers that “no one was a bigger advocate” of McCarthy than Greene [R-GA] and bemoaned the loss of Rep. George Santos (R-NY_ — expelled from the House amid multiple accusations of campaign finance violations — as well as Patrick McHenry (R-NC) and Bill Johnson (R-OH), both of whom will retire.
“GOP is doing all they can ahead of the 2024 Presidential election to weaken the GOP majority in an effort to make sure President Trump doesn’t have a strong GOP House,” Loomer warned on Dec. 1.
Loomer, as the Guardian reports, is a failed political candidate, endorsed by Trump in 2020, who described herself as a “proud Islamophobe” and has spread conspiracy theories about the Parkland school mass shooting.
Her followers were quick to parrot Loomer’s fears and hurl insults at Greene.
“I don't doubt it,” wrote @MAGAGurl86. “We are screwed. 100% screwed.”
"MTG more worried about selling her book than doing her job," added self-described Michigan patriot. "She likes being on the news."

“Democrats never really lost the House. That’s why nothing ever got done when Republicans supposedly had the majority,” said Paul Szypula. “And you’re right about Marge. She’s useless.”
For her part, Greene — of whom McCarthy once said “I will never leave that woman” — issued a jarring warning of her own after her political ally announced he’ll leave Congress at the end by the end of the year "to serve America in new ways."
“Now in 2024, we will have a 1 seat majority in the House of Representatives," Greene wrote. “Hopefully nobody dies.”
Press representatives for House minority leader Jeffries (D-NY) did not immediately respond to Raw Story’s request for comment.
