No. Williams is “Speaker”, but he is a puppet for Naifeh who clearly plotted behind the scenes to orchestrate this. Williams asked Naifeh to kindly CONTINUE presiding over this farce of a session. He’ll likely keep all the Democrats in power in committees. He might as well switch parties right now, he is a dead as a Republican.
Even thopugh all 50 had pledged, i think that Mike Williams was not completely trusted...
remember hes about the most RINO in Nashville...
RINOs have liitle sense of loyalty to conservatives or the GOP
RINOs can be bought...
RINOs can be flattered...
RINOS eagerly play the puppet...
In TX, the new Speaker, Straus, is RINO stalking horse of the Democrat leader Jim Dunnam of the liberal city of Waco.
