Republican Congresswoman Greene launches effort to oust Johnson following passage of Ukraine aid - Lemmy.World

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 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 move to table any effort to remove Johnson.

They will because Johnson has enough of a “business as usual” facade to convince them that he isn’t just as insane as the rest of the GOP.

Establishment corporate dems simply don’t understand the situation the country is in, they still believe they can go back to one-hand-washes-the-other style corporate politics despite what they’ve seen since 2016.

They don’t get that they’re up against idealogues, not people simply looking to exploit the office for the lobbying paychecks and insider trading.

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.
