@DC_Draino
Remember when Mike Johnson called for Pelosi to be arrested?

The FBI raided Trump’s house for some documents, but Pelosi rips up official archive docs & nothing happens

Happy to support
@RepMikeJohnson
for Speaker if he’s bringing this type of heat

We’re conservatives. We don’t follow the Democrat rule of not criticizing another Democrat. We think for ourselves, not toe the line like a bunch of group-think sheep.

I really LIKED Jordan HOWEVER as time went on I saw him as ANOTHER Trey Gowdey!! We have seen SO MANY of these asshats who were once our hero’s become such damn stinking swamp creatures, LYIN RYAN, Trey Gowdey, Newt, SO MANY Tea Party candidates SWALLOWED BY THE SWAMP!!! Johnson has a very strong faith in God so hopefully the hand of God will keep him strong against the forces of evil that has become DC!!!

Although, a common meme on Free Republic, consists of complaints about how Republicans don’t stick together. Some Freepers even praise Nancy Pelosi, at how she kept her people in line and how Democrats stick together. And such Freepers lament that the GOP members of Congress are not unified.

“In what context did he say that?”

Just as a bullet point in his speech after MJ won.

***I hope this Johnson stands up proud for conservatism!***

***and what’s to stop the Democrats from removing him if he does?

now that Gaetz set the example, and it only takes 1 person***

Not correct. To get elected speaker McCarthy had to make numerous concessions, one of them was to only require 8 dissenters to remove him.

Johnson made no such (or any) concessions.

“Just as a bullet point in his speech after MJ won.”

Well, coming from Jeffries, I would not be surprised if it was meant as a pejorative.

I don’t know that he did have a viable plan. But it worked out.

"No plan".

Clown show.

Chaos.

These Big Media talking points didn't age well.

The Gaetz "plan" was simple. Hold McCarthy's feet to the fire. Dump McCarthy if he should fail, and then let the GOP conference use their standard procedures to pick a new Speaker.

Gaetz did well.

McCarthy did not follow through on things he said he would do to win the speakership.

Releasing all Jan 6 tapes for example.

He needed to go!

He did do well. I just don’t think he had an anointed one in the wings to replace McCarthy. Which is ok.

Jeffries is BINO (Babtist in Name Only)

Real Baptists are prolife.

“Real Baptists are prolife.”

Right. I was going to say that he (Jeffries) is a Baptist. Too bad he’s not a Christian.
