Republican Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana said Sunday the latest move to oust him from the speakership, brought by Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, is a “distraction” and that Republicans “don’t need any dissension right now.”

He also noted they’ve been speaking by text message, including on Easter, and will be meeting soon about the situation.

Johnson appeared on FNC’s Sunday Night in America on Easter and spoke about the current state of the Republican agenda in the House with host Trey Gowdy, who is himself a former member of the House GOP.
