196 Republicans voted in favour of tabling Greene’s motion to vacate. 11 Republicans voted against. This was a major smackdown of Greene and her supporters .

And rightly so... We would be absolute fing morons to do it right now! Trump also said exactly that. It’s an election year that needs unity to succeed, we have a one vote majority, not 25+, our efforts should mainly be directed at defeating Democrats & leftists & more than disappointment with a policy needs to be taken into account. We need larger majorities with breathing room in order to do things like this. To throw out Speaker Johnson might feel good as a revenge for last minute funding for other nations, but we would be unuformally screwed with a Democrat Speaker that would take over 🙄

Yeah, and when 210 Republicans voted in favor of Kevin McCarthy, while just eight Republicans joined 208 Democrats in ousting him, people on this website cheered.

What it shows is that 196 Repukes sided with RATS and are stabbing their constituents in the back. Those 196, likely voted to keep FISA too. That's not saying much about their character, loyalty, patriotism, or trustworthiness.

And her “allies” were AOC and The Squad:

She comes out and claims “Democrats are who saved Johnson” when only 11 Republicans voted for this - she was the one trying ally with the Democrats to get a majority vote. And previously she was fighting against removing McCarthy.
