Third House Republican backs Johnson ouster
The Hill ^ | 4/19/2024 | Michael Schnell

Posted on 04/19/2024 9:04:46 AM PDT by Miami Rebel

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) announced on Friday that he will co-sponsor Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) resolution to remove Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from the top job, becoming the third House Republican to back his ouster.

Gosar, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, revealed his support for dismissing Johnson minutes after the House — with help from Democrats — advanced a foreign aid package that omitted border security provisions.

Gosar referenced that omission in his statement backing the ouster effort.

“I have added my name in support of the motion to vacate the Speaker,” Gosar said. “Our border cannot be an afterthought. We need a Speaker who puts America first rather than bending to the reckless demands of the warmongers, neo-cons and the military industrial complex making billions from a costly and endless war half a world away.”

Ukraine $ to oblivion, open borders, unlimited spending on Democrat policies, sure lets stick with Ryan Jr. This is being done by the GOP establishment entirely on purpose. They are supporting their liberal policies, infuriating the GOP base and winning on all fronts.

The results of your speaker will be:

1. Johnson stays and all of the parties base is infuriated and enough choose to retaliate and maybe vote for Trump and leave the down ticket blank-I am hearing this option mentioned quite a bit and yes they know liberals will be in charge but are they not anyway? The Democrats run the congress in both houses whether the GOP establishment wants to admit reality or not.

2. Johnson resigns and another establishment drone is installed who follows his leader Upchuck Schumer’s orders just like Johnson truly dooming the Republicans in November.

3. Johnson resigns and a new speaker is installed who fights back for his voters and not for the establishment riff-raff and deep state traitors. This would be the only hope I see of the Republicans retaining congress in 24 and the least likely to occur.

The liberal GOP establishment’s lies and betrayals have doomed their party and in the process the entire country in their chasing of $ and power.

Time will tell if Trump continues to do so.

What fantasy world are you in.

You are going to cause the House to be turned over to the democrats and will likely cause president Trump to lose the election.

Trump supports Johnson.

Johnson supports securing the border.

Do you not see that Kazan is an agent and is here to undermine America? He is panicking because Trump supports Johnson and the survival of Ukraine.
Johnson is going to secure Ukraine until Trump can get in office and deal with this.

Trump supports Johnson.

He most certainly does not.

Trump opposed the FISA bill and opposes more money to Ukraine.

Who do you think you're fooling?

JUST IN: GET MOVING EUROPE! – President Trump Releases Statement in Opposition to Johnson/Biden Ukraine Funding Bill

Trump: Why isn’t Europe giving more money to help Ukraine? Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation! Why can’t Europe equalize or match the money put in by the United States of America in order to help a Country in desperate need?

As everyone agrees, Ukrainian Survival and Strength should be much more important to Europe than to us, but it is also important to us! GET MOVING EUROPE! In addition, I am the only one who speaks for “ME” and, while it is a total mess caused by Crooked Joe Biden and the Incompetent Democrats, if I were President, this War would have never started!

“I wonder what is really happening.”

Someone from the Deep State visited Johnson recently and presented him with evidence that will end his political career and perhaps even his marriage.

Evil always beats stupid. We can’t keep up with the Marxist traitors, aka the Democrat Party. They are relentless, like their father the Devil.

We need a brand new strategy but at this point I’m at a loss to suggest one.

Yeah I have heard this line of BS before from the liberal establishment since 1992. You all didn’t have a problem handing over the presidency to your president BiteMe in 2020.

When you lose the House and Senate and wonder why look in the mirror and look at your track record of betrayal and lies, drink a fifth of jack and be honest for once with yourselves, this is on you.

YOU-the establishment are handing over the congress.
