Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / Re: No, Speaker Johnson Didn’t Cave On Ukraine Funding Because Of Secret Intel Briefings
« Last post by unite for individuality on Today at 11:33:30 pm »He caved because he’s weak and unprincipled and, like the rest of the GOP establishment, doesn’t care what Republican voters think.
If you recall, this is something Johnson repeatedly vowed he would not do until Democrats agreed to secure the southern border. He said this over and over, both before and after he became speaker.
It's not just that Johnson went ahead and helped pass the Ukraine funding
without securing our own border.
Johnson ACTIVELY SABOTAGED the bill to secure our own border!
He did it by bringing the bill to secure OUR border to a vote
under a rule that requires a 2/3 majority to pass it!
