MTG and Massie Prepare to Strike, Will Force Johnson Expulsion Vote ‘Next Week’
Bradley Jaye 1 May 2024
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) earned the endorsement of House Democrat Leadership Tuesday. He will need to cash in on that endorsement only days later.
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced to a packed press conference outside the Capitol Wednesday that they would force a vote on Greene’s motion to vacate “next week.”
With the Capitol dome behind them, Greene and Massie accused Johnson of “three betrayals” on government funding, allowing surveillance of American citizens, and funding Ukraine without first securing the border.
The move has long been expected, but Wednesday’s escalation makes clear Johnson’s perilous path toward maintaining his gavel — if not in the short term, certainly beyond November.
“This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country,” read a short Johnson statement issued after the announcement and a day after Johnson accused Greene of not being a serious lawmaker.

Even more chaos in an election year sure will instill more confidence in Republicans...

What a $hitshow. This is what has become of the GOP under the direction of Trump and his supporters.
Don't expect anything to change in the next 4 years, regardless of the outcome of the election later this year.
