Dem Rep Khanna: I Would Vote to Protect Speaker Johnson
Breitbart ^ | 21 Apr 2024 | PAM KEY

Posted on 04/21/2024 9:01:33 AM PDT by Kazan

Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he would vote to table any motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) because he advanced a foreign aid package with separate bills to support Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

Host Jonathan Karl said, “Congressman Khanna, does Speaker Johnson deserve credit for how this played out?”

Khanna said, “He does. Look, we came into Congress together and he always cared about civility. He actually led the civility pledge. And he – we had one issue, which was give individual votes. Don’t lump things together. And I give him credit for doing this. I would actually vote to table any motion to vacate him. You know, Congressman McCaul quoted Churchill. One of the things Churchill said is that America always exhausted every wrong option until doing the right thing. And this shows that American democracy still is very strong.”

Karl said, “You just said something significant. You said you would oppose the tabled – the motion to vacate. In other words, you will protect Speaker Johnson’s job if Marjorie Taylor Greene and the others go through with their threat to try to remove him?”

Khanna said, “I would, through the end of the term. I expect Speaker Jeffries will be there in 2025.

If I needed any more, THAT is the kiss of death for me. The Republican Party is dead to me.

But we implored and belittled if we simply suggest that we shouldn’t vote for a Republican. I’m not sure I will any longer.

3…2…1… and here it comes.

No one wants to hear a defense of this, but we won just by this long delay. The Uniparty was going to keep getting money for Ukraine as long as they have POTUS. They were threatening Johnson with (at least) having GOP members keep resigning until Jeffries was speaker.

Johnson ain't perfect by any means, but he's better than McCarthy was, and the Dems "supporting" Johnson is at least partially to make us hate him more.

Even if what you're saying is true, Johnson was a moron for getting blood all over his hands by passing this through and repeating the silly Ukraine war narrative.

He'll never recover and is unfit to Speaker or remain in the House.

“but he’s better than McCarthy was”

Wrong. Maybe enough rino traitors were ready to leave and officially hand the House to the rats or maybe not. Did Johnson fight it and expose them..no. Instead the treasonous, dirty coward shoved Biden’s bill through and for good measure folded in the deep state TikTok ban. Actually he is worse than McCarthy.

Sounds like how Dade Phelan, the Speaker of the Texas House, keeps getting elected Speaker ... a fake conservative Republican kept afloat by Democrat Party votes.
