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.

Dem Rep Khanna: I Would Vote to Protect Speaker Johnson“
Of course he would. Johnson is a rat.
Democrats always circle the wagons to protect each other.
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.
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.
Changing House Speakers is rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic.
Mike Johnson is a traitor and a coward.
He'll never recover and is unfit to Speaker or remain in the House.
Tells you that Johnson has been corrupted.
He is just another bought and paid for Fake Conservative.
...I expect Speaker Jeffries will be there in 2025....
Dopey Johnson went along with Schummer to protect his speakership.
Now, he toast.
What an ultra maroon

“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.
The Deep State agencies will protect Johnson.
Fox News is already in protection mode
Yes, great summation!
welcome aboard.
Perfect, make a privldged vote to Vacate and let the Democrats own this puke.
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.
Until Johnson does something he doesn’t like.
Speaker Hakkim Johnson.
