(CNN) — Britain's Conservatives just did what America's Republicans never dared to do.
They toppled a wrecking ball right-wing populist leader who reeled from one self-created scandal to another and who was accused of flagrantly breaking the law, abusing power and building his political career on an edifice of lies.
After weeks of clinging desperately to office, Boris Johnson finally resigned as the ruling Conservative Party's leader Thursday after a rebellion by his own lawmakers. The party will elect a new leader, who, according to the customs of Britain's parliamentary system, will become prime minister. America's Republican Party, however, never turned on Donald Trump in the same way -- despite his far more ruinous offenses against democracy than Johnson's. It's not that Republicans didn't have the chance. The ex-President was impeached twice, but most GOP senators chose not to vote to convict him of high crimes and misdemeanors last year -- a step that could have barred him from future federal office.

Boris Johnson right wing? Hardly.
He wasn’t toppled because of his ideology, either. He was toppled for his dishonesty in holding parties during COVID restrictions (dishonest and entitled behavior) and then upped the ante by lying about it initially.
They really have no comprehension of what’s going on around them. Just wow... small wonder their world revolves around cross dressing pedophiles and monkey-pox butt sex.
FU CNN!!! Stay in your own hellhole with your evil demoncrats we don’t need any advice from liberal lions that run their blue states into the ground and cause an influence of people flocking to red states like Texas Florida and NC
*loons not lions
I read as far as “despite his [Trump’s] far more ruinous offenses against democracy” and realized, oh yeah, this is CNN... never mind.
If Melania was telling Trump “We are all going die from Global warming!” he would tell her “No, we are not”.
Boris Johnson, on the other hand....
“despite his far more ruinous offenses against democracy”
Say what you want about Trump, he always, always danced with who brung him. He chose our platform and never sold us out like others have.
CNN+ failed! That’s success!
They toppled a wrecking ball right-wing populist leader, bullsh##
He was outed because he betrayed those who wanted a conservative leader, he adopted the globalist, climate change, love fest with china, great reset mantra. This coming from a person who knows him best and a close friend
That right there is funny. Of course from the perspective of the frightened marxists at CNN, even GOP milquetoasts like Lindsey Graham must seem like Atilla the Hun to them.
Because Johnson acted and governed like a liberal once he was in power
Boris Johnson has never been “right wing” as Prime Minister.
“Right Wing” to CNN is not wanting to Nationalizing all businesses.
The author above lives in a liberal bubble. He has no idea about why the republicans still support Trump and he has no idea about why Trump will be president again. Either he has no idea or is just plain lying, like most democrats do.
“despite his far more ruinous offenses against democracy than Johnson’s.”
Don’t take this personally, but please Go F Yourself....
“Stephen Collinson”
A Rooskie loving Commie...
Xe needs to prove xe isn’t.
CNN hate to clue you clueless network in....It’s called “We the people” vs their system. Get it? Doubt it...
“Boris Johnson is ‘right-wing’?”
That’s how he campaigned. American pols like Lindsey Graham aren’t the only ones accomplished in the ol’ bait and switch.
Its easy. He was a successful President despite non stop friction from internal and external sources. He took the best hoaxes the left had to serve up and won. He winning the latest witch hunt. The lefts insistence on ignoring optics is certainly helping him. Hes still out there leading and promoting the GOP. And finally lots and lots of Republicans believe he was robbed...and deserves another term.
