Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has voiced a number of complaints against Speaker Mike Johnson but has particularly focused on his decision to allow a vote on aid for Ukraine.

Any allegations that Greene is transparently working as a Russian agent are entirely unsubstantiated.

    I’ll be curious if the democrats step in. Johnson did the right thing getting the bill passed, but he’s still a garbage human being and a terrible leader.

      I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.

          Apparently Johnson has not yet broken a deal with the Dems like past speakers, so he is about a trustworthy as a GOP member can be.

          Tabling a motion is keeping the status quo. If that somehow fails then there is zero chance the Dems will vote for Johnson to keep his spot as he can’t keep a deal if he can’t keep his position as speaker.

          Strictly because he’s more honorable than Kevin McCarthy & hasn’t lied to the Democrats yet.

            McCarthy was even told that Dems would help him keep the Speaker role if he just asked for their help. He didn’t want to, and didn’t, and he got voted out. Pride comes before a fall.

          Or they could be propping him up to pass stuff and then dropping support just before the election.

      He is terrible, but he’s better than any replacement, he’s shown a willingness to work with Dems, and most importantly, if he ever breaks any promises, the Dems can sick him to the wolves.

      They’d save him. He’s the least awful among a menagerie of traitors.

      Article I read a couple of days ago said they will. But who knows? There’s no love lost between the parties.

        It is pragmatic to keep the House from being without a speaker, and he hasn’t broken a deal yet. They are trying to keep the House functioning somewhat by tabling a vote, but if it came to a vote for a new speaker all the Dems will most likely vote Jeffries again.

      Who could they possibly replace him with who wouldn’t also be a dumpster fire?
