MTG Says GOP Faction Called ‘the 5 Families’ Meets Every Week in McCarthy’s Office
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said a group of Republican is meeting every week in Kevin McCarthy’s office.
- The meeting is called “the five families,” she said, in an apparent mafia reference.
- McCarthy, a strong contender for House Speaker, is planning a series of investigations next year.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia says a group of Republicans called “the five families” meets every week to discuss strategy and policy in Kevin McCarthy’s office.
Greene made the mob reference while speaking on a Tuesday episode of conspiracy theorist Steve Bannon’s show, “The War Room.”
She claimed the Biden administration and House Democrats are “terrified” of Republican congressional leaders, now that the latter has taken the majority in the House.
“Because they’re hearing us talk, and they know we’re organizing,” she told Bannon.
“What we’ve been doing, and it’s really interesting, people are arguing, people are clashing, people are also starting to agree,” said Greene. “And there’s a meeting happening every week, and we meet in Kevin McCarthy’s office.”
“And it’s called the five families. And the five families, you know my reference, the five families are parts of our conference, all the different parts,” she continued. “And we are coming together and having discussions on how we are going to govern in the majority.”

The Five Families often refer to five major organized crime families in the Italian American mafia who were prominent in New York City in the 20th century.
Bannon joked that he hoped the Republicans’ “five families” meetings fare better than the ones in the 1972 mafia movie “The Godfather.”
“They went to war,” he said, as the show cut to a break.
Greene, a controversial figure in the GOP and a loyal supporter of former President Donald Trump, may soon see a resurgence in her political influence if House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy puts her on his planned oversight committee.
She’s thrown in her support for McCarthy’s bid to be House Speaker, and is in turn expected to be handed a committee assignment in the next Congress. The House previously stripped Greene of her committee appointments on February 4, 2021, with her critics saying she promoted baseless conspiracy theories, racism, and violence against Democrats.
Greene said in November that she’s set to secure a spot on the oversight panel, which McCarthy wants to use to launch a litany of investigations into the Biden administration, China, the FBI, big tech, and other parties.
Representatives for Greene and McCarthy did not immediately respond to Insider’s requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.
Ex-PM says Kazakh leader must act fast to neutralise Nazarbayev faction

LONDON, Jan 9 (Reuters) – (This January 9 story corrected translation in 6th paragraph)
Kazakhstan’s president must move fast to consolidate his grip after breaking with his powerful predecessor as the country was racked last week by the deadliest violence in its 30 years of independence from Moscow, a former prime minister said on Sunday.
As protesters torched buildings in the biggest city Almaty last Wednesday, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev removed former leader Nursultan Nazarbayev as head of the powerful Security Council – a role in which Nazarbayev, 81, had continued to pull the strings despite handing over the presidency in 2019.

With 164 people reported killed and more than 6,000 detained as part of what Tokayev has called a counter-terrorist operation, a purge of the security apparatus is now under way in the oil- and uranium-producing Central Asian state. read more
Former prime minister Akezhan Kazhegeldin told Reuters that Tokayev, having ruled since 2019 in the shadow of the man who dominated the country for the previous three decades, needed to dispel doubts about who was really in charge.
“I think a lot of people in social networks, critics, continue to say he’s a nominee of Nazarbayev, that Nazarbayev is standing behind his back and manipulating him,” he said.
“Now he has complete formal executive power, the question is how he will deploy it. He needs to recruit a team.”
Kazhegeldin served as prime minister under Nazarbayev in the 1990s, when Tokayev was foreign minister, but quit over concerns about corruption and now lives in exile in Britain.
He urged Tokayev to investigate quickly, bring those responsible for the violence to justice, and listen to people’s demands for reform.
“If he does it in a short time, he can count on citizens’ support in elections. If he doesn’t, people will blame all the problems and everything that’s happened recently on him.”
Nazarbayev, a former Communist Party boss, amassed substantial wealth during his decades in charge, wielding power through what Kazhegeldin described as a clan system.
He said the “embittered” Nazarbayev faction would attempt to remobilise if given the chance.
“The people who have just been defeated are very rich. They have huge capital abroad, including in Britain,” he said.
“This money must be returned to the country and used to develop the economy. If this isn’t done these people will use the money to destabilise the situation in the country.”
Nazarbayev could not be reached for comment but his spokesman issued a statement on Sunday in an apparent attempt to quash the impression of a rift between him and Tokayev.
He said the former president had chosen to give up his security council post to Tokayev to help ease the crisis, and the two men had always been “on the same side of the barricades”. read more
