Former President Donald Trump is reportedly upset with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for her "stupid" ongoing feud with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson - with sources close to Trump describing the tensions as a "distraction."
"One hundred percent distraction. Unwanted. And just stupid," a source told Politico. "We're not going to get trapped into this cycle of bulls--t that comes out of members of the House."
In recent weeks, Greene has threatened to lead efforts to remove Johnson from the speakership - creating yet another power struggle within the Congressional GOP. Greene and other hardline conservatives have vocally rejected calls for the United States to send more aid to Ukraine.
In the past, Johnson has gotten bills through Congress, with bipartisan support, through a process called "suspension of rules." Under the suspension of rules, floor debate is limited and amendments are banned - but the bills must be passed with a ⅔ majority.
"Let me tell you, when he forces that vote, again, under suspension with no amendments, and funds Ukraine and people find out how angry their constituents are about it, that's going to move the needle even more," Greene told CNN.
"I'm not saying I have a red line or a trigger, and I'm not saying I don't have a red line or trigger. And I think that's just where I'm at right now. But I'm going to tell you right now: Funding Ukraine is probably one of the most egregious things that he can do."
Johnson acknowledged Greene's exasperation during a recent Fox News appearance but emphasized that this was a reality of working within a divided House.
"These are not the perfect pieces of legislation that you and I and Marjorie would draft if we had the ability to do it differently," he told pundit Trey Gowdy. "But with the smallest margin in U.S. history, we're sometimes going to get legislation that we don't like."
While Greene has called to remove Johnson from power, Trump has warmed up to the Speaker. The two are expected to appear together at Mar-a-Lago for a joint press conference, on Friday.
Sources close to the presumptive Republican nominee confirmed that Trump and his campaign staff are frustrated with the divisions between House Republicans.
"It's fair to say we don't think she's being constructive," a second source told Politico. "The internal fighting is not appreciated by [Trump]."
