Exclusive — Jim Banks: Speaker Johnson ‘Handed the Speaker’s Gavel Over to the Democrats’
Breitbart ^ | 04/20/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

America needs a House and Senate filled with members who are aligned with “Donald Trump’s America first agenda,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday in which he said that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) essentially “handed the Speaker’s gavel over to the Democrats.”

Banks discussed Johnson flip-flopping on Ukraine aid and discussed one of the more shocking developments over the last week.

No, he’s absolutely right. Johnson betrayed the country, passed Biden’s bill and gave the House to the rats. The cherry for the rats is folding in the TikTok ban which can even be used against FR. Johnson is a traitor, a dirty coward or both.

Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly argued that House Democrats should not save Speaker Mike Johnson’s job, telling CNN that the only speaker he wants is Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Hard to believe but Johnson is way worse than Kevin McCarthy.

I can't contact my Representative to proceed with motion to vacate.

I guess it's worth contacting all members of the Freedom Caucus if you live in their district.

Not me. The Trojan Horse is the TikTok Ban.

The bill got support from majority of the majority.

The only answer to this is widespread primarying, and remember, MAGA now controls the RNC.

The Deep State sees no reason to hide. There is zero accountability.

And has been none since 2015.

Fox has been totally silent because Johnson is their new Nikki Haley.

Hannity will be having dinner three times a week with Johnson, mark my words.

Fox just had a woman on who had been some sort of assistant to John Boehner!

Not surprisingly, she thought Johnson was doing fine and should just stay the course! I wouldn’t have expected anything less from anyone affiliated with Boehner!

John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Mike Johnson...this cannot continue. Appeasement does not work. Capitulation does not work. This country is dying. Republican voters need to have an intervention. Stop electing RINOs and moderates.

Banks is full of it. This is basically a REPUBLICAN bill. If I had awakened from a coma to the news that Congress had passed a $95 billion foreign/corporate welfare bill like this, I would have assumed it was 2004 and George W. Bush was president.

Nope, this POS came right from Biden and the rat committee that is running the country. The rats are not giddy because “this is a Republican bill” they are giddy because Johnson shoved their bill through. Mikee is a traitor and a dirty coward.
