Marjorie Taylor Greene slayed by the perfect ‘Wizard of Oz’ meme
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suffered a humiliating defeat in Congress yesterday. She seems not to have realized this fact, but thankfully fellow Rep. Jared Moskowitz (FL) was at hand to point it out to her with a handy Wizard of Oz meme.

Greene has been threatening for weeks to force Congress to vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson. Yesterday, she finally made good on that threat and introduced her motion to vacate the speaker’s chair.
However, her announcement met with instant boos from across the chamber. The Hill says both Democrats and Republicans jeered Greene.
As expected, Greene’s resolution was quickly tabled. Many Democrats had already indicated that they intended to vote alongside the bulk of Republicans to save Johnson. It was a rare show of support from Democrats for a Republican speaker.
In the end, only 11 of Greene’s Republican colleagues voted with Greene. The chamber voted 359-43-7 to dismiss Greene’s motion-to-vacate.
Check out representatives booing her in the chamber. She retaliates by accusing Democrats and Republicans of uniting as the “Uniparty”.
