Speaker Mike Johnson: MTG’s Motion to Oust Me is ‘Wrong’

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) criticized the motion to vacate that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is bringing against him next week in an effort to oust him from the Speaker’s office.

After Greene announced at a press conference Wednesday that she would move on her motion, Johnson—who has repeatedly broken the Hastert Rule and caved on Ukraine aid with no border funding—called the motion “wrong.”

“This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country,” he said, according to CNN Capitol Hill reporter Melanie Zanona.

When he was chosen everyone was excited.

Can you say “Speaker Jeffries”?...............................I knew you could!...................

Biden is grateful to Johnson for giving him a big legislative victory in an election year.

Just like the midterms, Biden gets a big win just prior to the elections.

Not only that, but the resulting demoralization and further division of the Republican base. Way to go, Mike!

Mike Johnson is a traitor and a leftist. He should be voted out by Republicans. Does Johnson have a primary challenger?

[Paul R.]

... I don’t know if Trump used that particular acronym or its original, at least not publicly.

Not sure why your comment was deleted, except for that usage? Seems a bit extreme a response to a valid point.

I disagree. Johnson had incredible leverage with border security first, and he just threw it away and got absolutely nothing return. Sad.

“Does Johnson have a primary challenger?”

The Democrats are lying when they say they will support Johnson and prevent his removal.

It’s called rope-a-dope.

Magic Johnson has spent Trillions.

He says the warrantless FISA has to go thru because there aren’t enough FISA Judges.

You can hire Five Million FISA Judges for a Trillion.

The guy is compromised. With an obviously unlimited budget, he tells these Lies to get the Deeo State Weapons.

[FreeReign]

“This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country,”

Nope, only the timing is wrong.

Johnson is nauseating.

[OakOak]

He got nothing in return.

Thats not true. He got those pictures in an envelope, and a promise.

[Paul R.]

You of all people should realize nothing Congress passes regarding the border will do any good whatsoever so long as Biden is in office. It to the contrary very likely does a great deal of harm by appearing to address the issue, deflating it for the fall election. (Plus a lot of other crap that was in the border portion of the Senate bill, which WOULD have succeeded as a discharge petition and subsequent vote.)

[volare737]

Not to mention a flag waving party by the democrats.

He also got on Biden’s good side by capitulating and caving on border security—to give Biden a big legislative win in an election year ( just like the midterms).

What the hell is going on with the first two comments on this thread being removed? Even yours. I've seen this so many times in the past. Most times it's automatically done, and the person who posted the thread, hasn't even noticed it. I've had a sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with the fund raising graphics that are automatically added to every post here. Is it possible that poster's comments are being deleted because of it? Did you know your initial comment was removed?

To Mikey Johnson: It's wrong to break your promises to the American people. You flipped pretty quick Mike. Turns out you're nothing but a political whore, just like your predecessors. Going along with the RATS in order to get along isn't what Conservatives want.

[Paul R.]

Like you’re gonna get the judges you’d like?

Fat chance.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well he would say that since its him getting ousted. 😉

[volare737]

I disagree. Johnson had incredible leverage with border security FIRST, and he totally caved.

[Erik Latranyi]

Trump wants Johnson to remain speaker.

Trump’s pick as RNC chair is working to retain Johnson as well.

Why is Mike sucking up to Hak’em?
