Someone in the Republican Party needs to tell Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to focus all her "bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy" away from her own party and instead focus it on Democrats, according to a Fox News contributor.
Greene, who is known for her "wild antics and equally harebrained conspiracy theories," is currently on a mission to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is walking a tightrope over Ukraine funding and reauthorizing the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), Fox News contributor Liz Peek wrote.
Countering Russia’s power-mad dictator is "the right thing to do," and although FISA has come under scrutiny from Republicans, it's necessary for homeland security, she wrote.

"Greene, who was elected by a total of 170,162 voters in 2022 in a district that the Cook report rates R+22, doesn’t like any of it and would rather burn down the House, metaphorically speaking, than work towards the greater good. The greater good, unless she and her fellow discontents in Congress have forgotten, is defeating Joe Biden in November," Peek wrote Wednesday in an op-ed titled, "Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot. She is trying to wreck the GOP."
Peek worries that Greene's antics will facilitate the Democrats winning back control of Congress, and goes on to list what she sees as the threat Democrats pose, namely raising taxes that will "undermine investment and productivity, thereby depressing wage increases," the deterioration of the education system, giving too much power to unions, packing the Supreme Court.
" ... In short, there is much at stake."
"The internal squabbles of the party need to stop. If Marjorie Taylor Greene and others want to oppose aid to Ukraine or the FISA bill, they can vote against it. That’s how democracy works," Peek writes.
