Mike Johnson drags his own speakership through the mud by appearing at Trump's trial, substituting for Trump by attacking the judge’s daughter — something Trump has been barred from doing.
Instead of admitting, the Republicans have nominated a criminal, he now threatens to take action against people in the legal system.
When Johnson goes down with the sinking ship, no one should feel any pity. Lawmakers who do not believe in law and order, have no place in government.
My revulsion at #Johnson is tempered by my admiration for how he represents the damage done by #Trump to both the #GOP and to #Christianity. He's like a storybook villain whose craven happiness makes readers even more eagerly and hopefully look forward to their bursting into two colors of flames instead of one.
For Nat'l Police Week, Speaker Johnson is hosting a candlelight vigil tonight to honor fallen police officers.
But first he's in New York to support Trump, who has promised to pardon the violent criminals who brutally assaulted about 140 Capitol Police on Jan 6.
"A voter data expert who was hired by the Trump campaign in 2020 to look for voter fraud criticized claims by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) about election integrity Friday."
Aides to President Joe #Biden have been privately working behind the scenes to ensure House Speaker Mike #Johnson can put a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine up for a vote — and survive it politically.
“Vowing the U.S. Will ‘Do Our Job,’ #Johnson Searches for a Path on #Ukraine
The Republican speaker, with his job on the line, has privately told people he would make sure the House moves to assist Ukraine, a step that many members of his party oppose.”
#MTG#Green
announcing to the Press she had filed a #motion to remove #Johnson
said something revealing
'that Johnson, by presenting the bill to finance the Government to the chamber
for a VOTE
'eliminated' the only 'leverage' that #MAGAs had...
in practice
she admitted that the aim of MAGA is NOT to legislate
but only
prevent VOTE and the #Government work consequently damage the #Nation
MAGAs actively want to harm the nation
and then say 'everything is bad'
News of money previously given to #House Speaker Mike #Johnson's congressional campaign by #Russian nationals has re-emerged after the #Republican rejected a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed in the Senate.
In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the #Texas-based American Ethane company.
Do Nothing House speaker Mike #Johnson (R-LA) canceled tomorrow’s votes and sent the #House of Representatives into recess!
Before recessing, Johnson refused to take up the national security supplemental bill the #Senate passed early Tuesday morning, providing aid for #Ukraine, #Israel, and #Taiwan and humanitarian aid for #Gaza. Johnson said the House must “work its own will” rather than vote on the bill at hand because the measure did not include #border security measures (that they just snuffed🤬)
"Christie was the last high-profile GOP contender who was fighting for whatever remains of the soul of a Republican Party that, for all intents and purposes, has evolved into an authoritarian cult of personality with Trump as its center—posing what the former governor described as a real and present threat to democracy and national security."
