Trump holds the GOP leadership hostage; and that leadership is held hostage by its most junior members, who in turn, are creatures of a political culture that is increasingly inflamed.

In the GOP, it’s humiliation all the way down.

MTG’s call with Kevin McCarthy came shortly after the deplorable freshman congresswoman threatened to torpedo McCarthy’s ambition to be elected Speaker of the House. Appearing on Rep. Matt Gaetz's “Firebrand” podcast, Greene declared that McCarthy “doesn’t have the votes” to be speaker.

And then she laid out her complaints and demands.

“Many of us,” she said, “ are very unhappy about the failure to hold Republicans accountable, while conservatives like me, Paul Gosar, and many others just constantly take the abuse by the Democrats.”

For Greene, it’s not enough that McCarthy backed the purge of Liz Cheney from leadership, or that he has continued to publicly back Greene, Gosar, and Lauren Boebert.

She wants retribution. Specifically, she wants Cheney and Trump-critic Adam Kinzinger expelled from the the GOP altogether. She also wants to see the Republicans who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill punished — especially John Katko, who not only voted for the bill, but also had the temerity to back the impeachment of Donald Trump.
