Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) received a stunning rebuke Wednesday on what should have been a slam-dunk resolution to oppose antisemitism followed by a rare procedural defeat on legislation to clarify mining regulations.
The events, hours after Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced they would force a vote to expel Johnson, do little to show Johnson has a firm hand on the wheel.
The Antisemitism Awareness Act, introduced by Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Jared Moskowitz (R-FL), would mandate that when the Department of Education enforces federal anti-discrimination laws it uses a definition of antisemitism put forward by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. While most House members would likely agree that antisemitism is bad, the hastily introduced legislation sparked a firestorm.
Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews.

So they’re making part of the Bible illegal.
The bill is a disaster. Matt Walsh had an excellent comprehensive discussion of it on yesterday’s show
I would vote against it if I were in congress. It infringes the first amendment. You can’t bar speech you don’t like.
Magic Johnson wasn’t chosen for his competence.
His appetites, now that interested them.
I’d imagine “anti discrimination laws” cover everyone even Jews. Not really sure why you’d need an extra addition to a pre existing law. Seems rather pointless
It doesn’t matter who the speaker is. We expect people who have never done a thing to protect Constitutionalism to protect Constitutionalism. They never do.
Creative actions are needed.
“This is a nightmare”
Yes. A real disaster. Johnson has made the classic D.C. political mistake of taking the advice of the swamp bureaucrats. A mistake which might prove to be republic ending.
Specifically, we need to get rid of the Deep State and the intel community’s “six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”.
Tucker Carlson has said he’s been told outright by Congress members that they are afraid of the CIA; he believes they are being threatened.
Dennis Montgomery gave evidence to the FBI that the supercomputer “The Hammer” was used to spy on members of Congress, judges, justices, Donald Trump, media personalities, etc with the intent to blackmail them. The FBI buried that evidence and gagged Montgomery.
In the 1980’s a conspiracy was outed by Nebraska state senator John DeCamp. Teens from Boys Town were groomed and trafficked for sex in Washington, DC to create bribery tapes used against powerful people. The FBI, DOD, and news media were all part of the conspiracy.
We have to stop this stuff, if we expect anybody but the globalist crooks to decide anything for this country.
it is a nightmare yes, underlying it all is the DNC putsch to seize control of the House of Reps....not just by combining D-party votes with GOP-Establishment enablers’ votes on key legislation. But, by taking over the gavel, the chairmanship to control the procedural aspects of House affairs, too.
The House of Reps may choose the next POTUS if the DNC ETM (election theft machine) fails to deliver it for the DNC as planned. US Constitution Article 12
Cuckservatives clapping like seals at the 1st Amendment being shredded to appease Israel.
Both sponsors of the bill are Republicans too.
Absolutely pathetic
Rep Lawler is a tool
The Antisemitism Awareness Act clearly makes NT scripture antisemitic hate speech.
Yeah…but incompetence has never sunk a speaker…they’ve all been incompetent for the last generation.
He’s a dunce and an embarrassment.
He MUST be removed asap.
AND there must be a penalty for betrayal. Every time.
He put TWO bills on the floor that did not have the support of the majority of his caucus. And passed them with Dim votes.
No Democrat speaker would ever do that.
evangelicals are kinda stupid… but these repugnicant evangelicals are orders of MAGAnatude of retarded. My guess most are homos blackmailed into playing the part of evangelical Christian israel cucks. That is my guess. I no longer trust CONservatives who ass kiss israel. They can wipe each other out for all I care… I just don’t want any holy sites ruined in any fashion. The land and relics are what is important.
Tucker Carlson has said he’s been told outright by Congress members that they are afraid of the CIA; he believes they are being threatened.Tucker Carlson was a first class Fox/Dominion/Murdoch news douche that remained silent on anything 2020 election, until Dominion had him fired.
What has Tucker Carlson ever done or said that changed your life?
He was openly disgusted with Trump until he was fired.
What changed? His career.
But a Uniparty Speaker would.
Johnson has done a favor to the voters by exposing the Uniparty is such a way that no one can any longer deny its existence. Further, he has made it clear that the Uniparty serves the Deep State, not the voters who elected them.
As Obama would say, "This is a teachable moment."
Maybe so, but I won’t begrudge anybody whatever it took to wake them up.
What Carlson is saying and doing today is giving me hope, and that IS a life-changer.
