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.

It’s not the right time to Investigate Joe.
Not the right time to Subpoena Hunter.
Not the right time to fight the Dems and question the Traitors.
Meanwhile Dems brought Impeachment against Trump in 45 days - and the Deep State actors that led that Impeachment were in the House celebrating and waving foreign flags celebrating with Magic Johnson.
Do you have an edited version of your deleted comments?
It’s your thread, after all!
You can look up the bill as easily as I can. You find how much is allotted to ‘so called’ border security—which even most RINO’s admit, is just to expedite processing of illegals.
It's not like Democrats would have the votes to pass anything radical in the House. The Republicans in the Senate would have the ability to kill any legislation that somehow made it out of the House.
It won't matter anyway, though, since Democrats have already said they will have Johnson. He's one of their own.
You are wrong. Biden POLICY is what really matters. Border Patrol and ex BP high ups have stated this as well.
You truly DON’T understand the nature of this Administration. You can pass any bloody thing you want, and it will be useless or worse than useless if Biden or his ilk are in office. And you want to piss away what should be an effective issue in the fall.
With that, trying to convince you how this really works is useless. There is no more to say - it’s like trying to explain “orange” to a blind man.
Well, duh! But, you realize that he shouldn't have promised to pass such legislation before agreeing to anymore money for the failed proxy war in Ukraine? That's issue. He made a promise to the base and broke it.
That is not acceptable.
Nor is passing through FISA legislation, legislation handing the rogue FBI money for a new HQ or allowing a trillion dollars of debt to be accumulated every hundred days.
To side with the democrats is giving them ammunition.. Of which they use to destroy.. Don’t do that!
I do not get the rational of republicans in congress, who have been on the right side.. Suddenly go left. Doing nothing to help Trump.. Not lifting a finger to do what they are there for.
This isn’t a game or a rehearsal.. They want control and our nation is finished.. Trump can get us back, but the judges are pulling tricks from outer space and getting by with it!
You are in congress to serve the people.. Not to let them take us to the end of a great nation.
Johnson is conducting business usual for the Swamp -- running up massive debt, laundering money through our foreign policy and doing absolutely nothing to force Biden to secure the border.
Plus, as a bonus, he rewarded the corrupt FBI with $4 billion new headquarters.
If you're okay with all that, you're as much the problem as any Democrat.
One more try (sigh).
That’s my point! Biden will just twist ANYTHING passed, to his purposes.
The fall election is the only meaningful shot we have at this...
No Johnson, what is wrong is you giving the democrats everything they have wanted since you became Speaker while doing nothing for Republicans and the base.
The idea is right but the timing is wrong. What more wrong he can do between now and the election is nothing compared to what the Democommies would do with Hakeem in that seat.
I believe Trump’s support at the moment is all politics and he doesn’t want this kind of stuff distracting the low infos.

That’s about the best explanation of why Trump is supporting The Johnson that I’ve seen.
MAGA Dittoes
The Democrats are lying when they say they will support Johnson and prevent his removal.
It’s called rope-a-dope.

I tend to agree. But one reason why the Dims might vote to keep the Johnson is the disunity he is causing conservatives. He’s a useful idiot for them.
Also Johnson supports a trillion dollar deficit increase and open borders. Why would the Rats oppose him?
Tread carefully, MTG and Massey, et al. I don’t like the ahole at all but there is a whole bunch to lose if you do this with no idea who can win the caucus.

Ain’t that the truth? We were all so happy to get rid of McCarthy. But now???
Meet the New Boss. Same (WORSE) as the Old Boss.
LOL..
MTG was exposed for making millions on Ukraine war insidertrading.
She stopped self reporting so I suppose sh decided to just like off her congressional pay.
Johnson is terrible! Very terrible.
MTG is a curruptocrst just like he is, she is just taking herturn ion the kabuki stage.
He could have passed the original House bill, and let, no HOPE that the democrats wouldn't pass it, and/or Biden NOT sign it.
And then let Biden and the democrats explain to the country for the next 6 months (right up until election day) why they placed money for Ukraine ahead of our national security (meaning, border security, of course).
Thanks, Mike, you threw away a perfect and huge opportunity for absolutely nothing.
For some reason you cannot understand that.
Because Speaker Jeffries will give them control of all the committees.
