In a 58-2 vote, the Republican Party of Texas approved a resolution calling on Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan to resign.
The resolution was approved during the State Republican Executive Committee meeting in Corpus Christi on Saturday, and cites Phelan’s embrace of the failed impeachment against Attorney General Ken Paxton as well as his appointment of Democrats to leadership positions:
WHEREAS, Speaker Dade Phelan voted for the impeachment of Attorney General Warren Kenneth Paxton and through his leadership team pressured other House members to vote for the impeachment as well, and continues to defend this action....;
WHEREAS, Speaker Dade Phelan appointed nine (9) Democrats to chair important legislative committees, in direct defiance of the wishes of Republican voters and the Legislative Priorities of the Republican Party of Texas; and
[snip]
WHEREAS, new leadership is needed in the House of Representatives for the upcoming special session, and potential subsequent special sessions, to ensure that conservative priorities are achieved and members are no longer pressured to act and vote contrary to the platform, principles, and priorities of the Party they represent and its voters; now
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Texas calls on Speaker Dade Phelan to step down from his leadership role as Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, and to allow a new Speaker to be elected after a caucus vote in accordance with the Republican Party of Texas Platform; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that should Speaker Dade Phelan fail to step down from the Speaker chair for this upcoming special session, the Republican representatives should vote to vacate the chair and allow for a new Speaker who has pledged to honor and support the priorities and principles of the Republican Party to be elected.

(BTW, I deleted a few words to make the excerpt fit under the 300 word limit but none of the deletions changed the resolution in any meaningful way).
Cowboys do get pissed when you start shootin’ your own cowboys out of the saddle. They figure it’s retarded. And it is.
Now prosecute the POS.
This assumes that between now and then, medical science will perfect testicular and spinal transplants for the RINOcrats who elected Phelan as Speaker in the first place.

Is he a Bushie?
America, and in this case Texas, has many enemies. A good percentage of those enemies are Republicans.
Time for the antiquated Bush sycophants to wake up and smell the coffee. Texans are not putting up with you anymore. Go back to Maine and shut up.
I WOULD NEVER GIVE IMPORTANT POSITIONS to ENEMIES.
“Is he a Bushie?”
IDK but he is beholden to democrats for his position.
BTTT
What I do not understand is why Phelan appointed 9 Democrats to chair committees when the GOP has a huge majority in the House.
They didn’t count on Tiny Buzbee. Lol.
In Texas a handful of republicans always vote with democrats to elect a squish Republican that effectively hands control of the Texas house to the democrats.
I sure hope the inability to have Paxton convicted gets back to Soros and strokes out the bastard.
That’s why this should have been done long ago. #DrunkDade only needed a handful of pub squishes to join with all of the democrats to get elected speaker. The left plays the long game in the dirtiest way.
The weak kneed RINOs will probably fall in line since this comes from the State Republican Party that controls the campaign funds for the upcoming primaries.
EC
He's a RINO. So what?
America, and in this case Texas, has many enemies. A good percentage of those enemies are Republicans.Often times infiltrators from the Democrat party.
Ohio had the same thing happen ... 22 Republicans voted with all of the Democrats to elect a squish Republican Speaker.
Well, the issue will be who will be the replacement? Another fake Republican that conspires with the Rats like Phelan and Speakers before him, or, will we actually have a real Republican Speaker for the first time.
