House Democrats are gearing up to offer a lifeline to embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) amidst a brewing storm that threatens to unseat him.

The Gateway Pundit reported last month that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker thanks to his actions over the House Omnibus bill, which will fund the government until September 30.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced that he will co-sponsor MTG’s motion to vacate the chair.

“I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by Rep. MTG. He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker,” Massie wrote.

Rep. Andy Ogles criticized the alleged proposal, stating, “Where is the funding for our border? $48.43 BILLION more for Ukraine but NO security for AMERICANS? Unacceptable.”

I guess that particular moron must have forgotten that the House already passed a border funding and security bill, HR 2, last summer.  So if he is truly wondering where that funding is, the House is the wrong place to be asking.

On top of which, adding more funds wouldn't make a damn bit of difference anyway because Biden wouldn't use them to actually secure the border anyway.  The people clamouring for those funds already know that, which is why the House rightly rejected the Democrats recent border bill.

So the real question is why are Republicans like Ogles attacking House leadership over border funding when they already know it won't make a damn bit of difference anyway because of Biden?  Only answer I can think of his pure political posturing.
