All eyes on Greene threat to oust Speaker Johnson

BY MYCHAEL SCHNELL AND MIKE LILLIS - 04/29/24 6:00 AM ET

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) returns to Washington this week celebrating several recent policy victories but also facing a renewed threat to his gavel from a small but unpredictable group of conservative rebels infuriated by his leadership style.

Johnson received widespread praise from leaders in both parties this month after muscling two high-profile proposals through the House: an increase in aid for Ukraine and an extension of Washington’s warrantless spying powers. But his decision to champion those controversial policies — and to forge deals with President Biden and the Democrats to get them done — has sparked a new backlash from a handful of hard-liners vowing to topple him from power.

Leading the charge is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who introduced a motion-to-vacate resolution last month, after Johnson endorsed legislation to fund the government, and is now escalating her threat to force it to the floor. Two other conservatives, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), have endorsed her effort.

With no pressing must-pass legislation on the immediate schedule, that internal battle is set to take center stage on Capitol Hill — a bitter Republican-on-Republican fight coming at an inopportune time for GOP leaders, who are looking to unite the party ahead of the November elections.

This is NOT their country!!  It sickens me to see this happening. IMO flying any other flag from another country should be illegal. Someone at Harvard needs to remove the Pali flag and put huge American flags all over the campus.

True. Made me chuckle a little.

Why would O'Biden do this only a few months before the election.
Democrats are Socialist Communists so I understand the why part.
But the why now? part I cannot figure out?

Because the liberal mental midgets see it as taxing the 'evil rich white man'; propaganda that has been instilled in them.  They don't have a clue.
