House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office told Breitbart News exclusively that he intends to remain as Speaker of the House after he cast the deciding vote against ending the deep state’s warrantless surveillance of American citizens on Friday.
Johnson, who is now rushing down to Mar-a-Lago to hope former President Donald Trump gives him a lifeline, is facing serious questions as to whether or not he can continue in the position after a string of major policy failures on his watch. Johnson intends to hold a press conference with Trump to unveil a messaging bill meant to stop illegal aliens from voting. The proposal is not serious, and stands no chance in the Senate. Using Trump like this, as a shield with a messaging bill that is not serious, has rubbed lots of Trump-aligned movement leaders the wrong way in a big way.
“He’s not resigning,” Raj Shah, the Speaker’s spokesman, told Breitbart News when asked about rumors that he was considering leaving the post. “No,” Shah reiterated when asked if Johnson was considering stepping down.

Republicans lack many leadership qualities, like having a spine.
Yes.
‘He hasn’t fallen as far as we fear because he had never risen so far as we had imagined.’
Then Nohnsonhas about 4 faces and each one needs a fist hitting it.
“. Have you stopped to consider how much legislation a Democrat House, Senate, and President could pass into law before January? “
I watched what they didn’t pass in 2021 and 2022. Amnesty. Student debt forgiveness.
For legislation on that, they need RINO collaboration. In the meantime, Biden acts unilaterally and the RINOs do nothing.
The more countries you know about, and the more you see the “conservative” opposition in action, the more you realize they are collaborators, and actually do the most unpopular leftist moves themselves.
eg Uk Tories, Canada “Progressive Conservatives”.
Yes, Johnson did cast the deciding vote.
Few people realize what FL Rep @realannapaulina did today
The FISA bill was passed by the House without extra warrant protections to stop the FBI from spying on Americans
So Rep. Luna requested a very rare procedural maneuver to force a re-vote on Monday and it worked
Remember, the warrant amendment failed by only 1 vote and a GOP Rep was out with the flu today
Rep. Luna may have just singlehandedly saved American civil liberties
The fight continues Monday…

You cannot have a free and open society with the warrantless spying of Americans. Today, the bipartisan vote to force intelligence communities to get a warrant was lost by one vote. In an effort to stop this, I requested a rare procedural maneuver that will force a second vote on Monday. Hopefully we can change minds. I will be writing all 435 members over the weekend. Please help me. Talk to your reps. We have one last shot at this.

Sounds good to me. Everyone there is bought and paid for.
Everyone knows where this is headed.
God bless her! Thank you for sharing.
Can anyone answer why there were no red flags on this guy when we kicked out the previous speaker? Are the republicans really that stupid? Seriously where are their brains?
👍🏼 👍🏼
You’re welcome.
I *borrowed* it from Lakeside Granny, on the MM thread. She gets the hat tip :)
De-frock him.
He’s worse than McCarthy.
I knew what you meant. I’m also fluent in authentic frontier gibberish…
Until folks wake up and understand the establishment is not one party., nothing will change.
The GOP is every bit as corrupt as the demonrat party.
I assumed he was a good decent Christian patriot. Boy, was I proven wrong!
Not really.
Trust the plan! Patriots are in control!
But, having a secure border, isn't?!
It's comic to link this to national security when we don't even have the most basic safeguards at the border.
With or without it...abuse is always there.
So, the law was abused to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016. The FBI has been involved in trying to imprison him since. So, why would anyone not expect the law to abused again and used against Trump?
