Marjorie Taylor Greeen’s April 9th filing of a motion to vacate the chair — a dagger aimed at fledgling Speaker Mike Johnson only five months after he assumed control — should not have surprised anyone in Washington.
After all, Speaker Johnson had been given the job with promises attached to his tenure — and Johnson had already broken all of those promises.
MTG circulated a five-page public letter to explain her decision, and it’s hard to argue with her logic.
(Click on image below to read the letter in full on Twitter/X.)
GOP voters wanted the Biden regime shut down and the Southern border closed so, naturally, Speaker Johnson got a Democrat omnibus bill passed that fully funded the Biden regime and did nothing about the border or the debt.
That $1.2 trillion omnibus was so obscene that it passed with a majority of Republicans voting against it.
In other words, Johnson is already the leader of a GOP-led House that prefers to pass Democrat legislation.
That’s unacceptable. That’s scandalous. That’s all the reason you need to dump Johnson.
Since we’re dealing with the GOP, of course, the vast majority of them are still pretending that a terrible deal is actually a great deal. Very few House Republicans have shown any interest in backing MTG’s motion to vacate — at least publicly.
Here’s the main point: it was already clear that the GOP had totally failed its own voters long before MTG filed her motion on April 9th.
Did the GOP punish the Biden regime’s FBI? No, the FBI got $220 milion for its new headquarters in Johnson’s omnibus.
Did the GOP secure the border? Of course not.
Did the GOP stop taxpayer-funded abortions? Don’t be silly — the omnibus provided $2 million for more abortions.
Mike Johnson simply adopted Joe Biden’s dream budget and then got it passed over the objections of his own party.
What can explain such a breath-taking betrayal? MTG herself had already provided a dark explanation for the sudden transformation of Mike Johnson from conservative Christian into a pawn of the Biden regime in an interview with Tucker Carlson on April 3rd.
The complete collapse of Mike Johnson’s political principles was so obvious and unexplained that MTG could only guess that he might be blackmailed by the national security state. Here’s a portion of the transcipt of that interview:
GREENE: But now Mike Johnson has made a complete departure of who he is and what he stands for, and to the point where people are literally asking, is he blackmailed? What is wrong with him because he’s completely disconnected with what we want?
CARLSON: Do you think he is being blackmailed?
GREENE: I have no idea. I can’t comprehend, Tucker, what radically changes a man. I mean, if we break down the the second part of basically an omnibus. Let’s break that down. So Mike Johnson is pro-life. And the second part of the omnibus, just less than two weeks ago, he funded full-term abortion clinics, full-term abortion clinics. He funded the trans agenda on children. I mean, how does that even happen from a Christian conservative Republican speaker? He did nothing for the southern border and did nothing to secure the border. And this comes on the heels of Laken Riley being brutally murdered. This came on the heels of a video that was running on loop on social media, where illegal aliens had rushed our border, ran over Texas National Guard, ran over Border Patrol agents in order to invade our country. These were military-age men, by the way. He did nothing to secure our border. It’s the number one issue in the world. He completely changed who he was, funded the FBI, gave them a brand new building, fully funded the Department of Justice that is persecuting everyone on the right and actually targeting a presidential candidate for election this year. Literally trying to put him in jail for the rest of his life. We don’t know who Mike Johnson is anymore.
Of course, the signs that Mike Johnson was going to be a uniparty shill were evident to close observers in 2023 — when he arranged a meeting with one of the most discredited figures in American politics.
Why did Speaker Johnson hold a closed door meeting with Paul Ryan in December 2023? After all, Ryan works for the Clintons at Teneo while directing anti-Trump coverage at Fox News from his seat on its Board of Directors.
You only meet with Paul Ryan if you’re interested in destroying President Trump before the 2024 election.
You know it’s true.
In fact, the GOP establishment actually wants to turn control of the House over to Democrats — no matter what voters decide in November. That’s not speculation on my part. That’s the only logical conclusion for why five of 21 retiring Republicans this year have resigned before the end of the term.
That’s why four GOP committee chairs are leaving, including Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Mike Gallagher. That’s why Ken Buck quit and Kevin McCarthy quit and then McCarthy’s deputy Patrick McHenry — the goofy bowtie guy —quit too.
President Trump is leading in all the national polls, and these clowns are headed for the exits for no particular reason.
President Trump is a threat to the uniparty because he represents the People. By contrast, the uniparty represents itself and not the People.
The man who takes credit for killing Roe v. Wade does not represent a majority of the people. There’s not a single state where the majority supported an end to individual choice. You’re going to find that out in November.
More people are worried about being able to house and feed the children they have not the savage dismemberment the unborn.
If that is all the Democrats have to run on you have already lost.
Roe v Wade was not in effect and being honored anyway. It specified a limit on abortions after the 1st trimester and you leftists pushed that all the way to the moment of birth, sparking the challenge that exposed its unconstitutionality and ultimately led to its demise. The MAJORITY does not want abortion after the first trimester. The MAJORITY opposes your human sacrifice death cult. The MAJORITY opposes Democrats registering illegal immigrants to vote.
Tell it to young women voters—from a distance, for your own safety. The GOP is going to be massacred at the ballot box.
Tell them it’s their responsibility to either prevent their own pregnancy or take care of an unwanted pregnancy before the baby can say its own name.
That’s what the GOP told them, isn’t it? How’s that working out?
Democrats killed Roe v Wade. It had no meaning. Their push for abortions up to the time of birth finally killed it. Blame yourselves for wanting to be able to take life on a whim instead of show a little modicum of restraint, responsibility and respect.
Why are Democrats registering illegal immigrants to vote?
Don’t know why you come to this site Greg . Nobody who is informed pays any attention to your ghostly opinions . So , fade to black . Where you and your visions belong at . Enough is enough !
Greg your a waste of space . Toodle Loo !
Trump hung that albatross around his own neck.
It was unconstitutional. Trump didn’t make it unconstitutional.
Abortion rights have won in every election since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
We told you destroying energy under the bidenomics plan would destroy the economy.
Our country is truly headed towards a precipice.
Nope. Trump and his followers are. The country will be fine.
Sure
An illegal alien from El Salvador was arrested April 5 on charges of murdering a man and then dismembering his body.
The suspect, who was just 17 at the time of the murder, has not had his identity released as a result of his status as a minor. He was already on probation at the time of the attack for assaulting his mother.
Democrats are robbing our kids of all opportunity
Trump Voters are not Nazis you Moron
Spur, get this… The Moon is Made Up Mostly of Gases says Shiela Jackson, I think she has been hanging out with Hank Johnson way to long.
The tell is that you leftists oppose Trump because he wants to make the government serve the people, not vice versa. He wants the nation to be strong, not weak and subservient to the rest of the world. You actually have no idea why you hate Trump other than you have been directed to and provided the invented accusations for you to base your hatred on.
Which side has members that loot and riot? Which side has its own violent storm troopers? Which side supports illegal immigrants before taxpaying citizens, no matter how many innocent people die because of it? Which side supports crime and opposes punishment? Which side supports murdering babies? Which side has members that chant “DEATH TO AMERICA!!”? Which side registers illegal immigrants to vote? Damn, your party is a degenerate, hateful, anti-American, Constitution-hating gang of miscreants… THAT’S why you hate and oppose Trump.
I didn’t trust Mike Johnson the day I saw that man turn his head to a reporters camera then sneered with a little smile and said I’m with you Trump . It looked like a lied,…. then and still looks like he is lying now .
