time to get rid of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. I understand that there may be some strategic issues in play, here, but his actions very much look like a gross betrayal of the GOP and a total violation of what he had promised.
He promised to abide by the “Hastert rule.” He promised not to join with Democrats and weak-kneed RINOs to give even more of YOUR hard-earned money to Ukraine. He promised to secure our southern border. But he lied! He willfully and knowingly violated these promises. OK, we’re done.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) delivered President Joe Biden a $61 billion gift on Saturday afternoon, reversing his months-long pledge to never advance foreign aid without first securing America’s border.
The evil-as-sin Democrat Senate majority will very quickly approve it, so this is a MAJOR betrayal.
But that $61 BILLION was not their money to give away! Holy crap, it was the people’s money. They are a steward! And the people don’t agree with it being used in this way.
If Mike Johnson and Joe Biden want a war with Russia, they should bring up a vote in the House to declare war.
… It is entirely within the control of the House Republican Caucus to stop Speaker Johnson, the Democrats, and the Washington Swamp war machine from advancing the supplemental spending bill on Saturday by immediately bringing up the Motion to Vacate and beginning the arduous, but necessary, process of removing Speaker Johnson.
It looks like Johnson has been “Flipped.” One has to wonder if he is being blackmailed. Is there a “honey trap”in the background? I just don’t know. But I DO know that he has broken his word and reversed course.
“I’ve never seen a bigger flip-flop in politics than what Mike Johnson has done after he repeatedly said, ‘No more money for Ukraine until we secure our own border,’ and today, he’s doing just the opposite and here, in a couple of hours, may go down to the floor and cast yet another vote against billions of dollars more for a foreign country, Ukraine, while our House Republican leadership has completely abandoned our border,” Banks said.
… “I’m disappointed about it. I don’t have a good explanation. I don’t know why he’s doing this, but … it’s a big flip flop [and] a big disappointment for Republicans,” he added, discussing how Johnson essentially handed the speaker’s gavel to Democrats with this new arrangement.
