Marjorie Taylor Greene warns Johnson putting up a 'fake fight' over SAVE Act

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Tuesday accused House Speaker Mike Johnson of setting up a "fake fight" over the SAVE Act and a continuing budget resolution.

"Speaker Johnson is setting up a fake fight for the Save Act, which we already passed in July, to vote to extend the Biden/Harris budget," Greene wrote on the social media platform, X. "The American people are tired of being lied to."

Johnson said during a press conference that on Wednesday that the House would vote on the SAVE Act and a continuing resolution. 

"The House has passed this," Greene said in a video. "For everyone to stand in there and say 'we have to vote for this...' but in order to vote for it you have to vote for a continuing resolution that continues the Biden administration's budget?"

She said that the Republican base will see through such efforts.

"Conservatives like me actually care about reducing spending and using the power of the purse to do the right thing for the American people," Greene wrote on X. 

Other Republicans opposing Johnson's move include Reps. Cory Mills, R-Fla., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
