The Republican Georgia congresswoman has put pressure on Johnson in recent weeks, although many lawmakers in her own party have dismissed her efforts to vacate the speakerās chair.
It is unclear which House members booed Greeneās motion on Wednesday, although Georgia congresswoman shot back at the heckling, saying, āThis is the uniparty, for the American people watching.ā
Greene first introduced the motion to remove Johnson in March after the speaker worked across the aisle to pass a $1.2 trillion federal spending package that avoided a partial government shutdown.
She has also criticized the speaker for gaining bipartisan support to pass the foreign aid spending packages last month, including a measure that authorizes an additional $60.8 billion in assistance to Ukraine for its defense against Russia.
On Wednesday, Greene called her motion to vacate the speakerās chair as privileged, which forces House leadership to act on the measure within two legislative days.
Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman reported that most of the chamber did not take Greeneās effort āseriouslyā and that over half of lawmakers were engaged in loud conversation while the congresswoman attempted to speak.
