From Massie's newsletter:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced a resolution to remove Mike Johnson from his position as Speaker of the House. I am a cosponsor of the legislation.
We recently held a press conference to discuss the need for Speaker Johnson's removal. I have embedded the video of this event above and I encourage you to watch it.
As Speaker, Mike Johnson has continually enlisted a majority of House Democrats to override House Republicans. He did this to:
1) Pass an omnibus spending bill that spends more money than Pelosi did
2) Reauthorize warrantless spying on Americans; further,
he cast the deciding vote to defeat the warrant requirement sought by House conservatives
3) Send $60 billion to Ukraine
Together, Speaker Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have revealed the existence of the Uniparty that currently governs Washington, D.C. With this poor record, it comes as no surprise that House Democratic Leadership recently endorsed Speaker Johnson in writing.
Why does Hakeem Jeffries want Mike Johnson as Speaker? Because the Democrats want:
- No action taken on the border
- No conservative policy victories
- More money for Ukraine
- A Democratic House majority
- An expanded Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation
- No budget cuts
- President Trump to lose in November
They know that the uninspiring Mike Johnson can deliver all of these things if he remains as Speaker.
