I disagree. We remove Johnson as Speaker. He'll resign from Congress.
The next Republican Speaker may get the hint.
I don’t know that they are capable of getting the hint. It took McCarthy a record number of votes to become speaker. After that, I thought we would at least see him try to get some concessions from the democrats, but what we saw was business as usual. Then McCarthy gets removed, and Johnson takes over, and I thought we would see him try to at least get some concessions from the Democrats, but we are still seeing business as usual. The only reason I don’t think removing him right now is a good idea is because the narrative has been on how terrible Biden is, if we start fighting, the media, can cover for Biden by covering the Republicans for several months.
Newt was on Laura last night and thought that getting rid of McCarthy was a mistake. When the Republicans have such a small majority a few members can have a lot of leverage, but they are in danger of losing the majority before the election—a couple of more Republicans quit Congress out of spite and we will get a Democrat Speaker. Worst of all, the committees would all be controlled by the Democrats and any honest investigations would stop.
