Marjorie Taylor Greene went to Washington this week with only one thing on her mind: how to save face. After being told by former President Donald Trump to “stand down” on her threat to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, the Georgia Republican was able to extract two meetings with Johnson, R-La. After her first meeting with the speaker, Greene outlined her four demands on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast. They included a pledge to forgo any further aid to Kyiv and to cut Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s funding. The inflammatory lawmaker has always talked a big game, but did she have the leverage, and the savvy, to extract serious concessions? Following her second meeting with Johnson on Tuesday afternoon, the answer seems clear.
