Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is making his first fundraising trip since passing Ukraine aid over the objections of the majority of his party, traveling to Texas to campaign for one of House conservatives’ biggest nemeses.
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), days after joining Democrats in promising to save Johnson’s job, will host Johnson for a series of fundraising events on Tuesday. The events are expected to rake in around $300,000 for Gonzales’s reelection bid.
Gonzales has played a significant role in House Republicans’ leftward swing, undermining conservatives and, at times, the House Republican Conference agenda despite Republicans ostensibly holding the majority.
Gonzales, a CNN regular, took to the leftwing network on Sunday to support Johnson and make unsubstantiated claims about Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Bob Good (R-VA), who have endorsed Gonzales’s primary opponent, Second Amendment activist Brandon Herrera.

Politicians like Johnson should try to buy their way to Heaven with their own money and not the money of other people.
So you’re saying the Democrat majority in NY, WA and MD is under the influence of Putin and that’s why they’ve banned fracking? I’d normally ask if you are really this stupid, but you are the Freest Republican so there’s no need.
so now Judas Johnson is rubbing our noses in his diarrhea?
lets support Herrara against this Gonzales RINO loser.May 28 is the runoff.

There are dozens of RINOs in Congress.
“running a nation with 90% industry/institution/billionaires acting against MAGA”
There’s a lot of markup on most Chinese-made stuff.
Johnson is far worse than McCarthy.
That might be how you operate but I don’t have a problem criticizing anyone who deserves it. I’m sure Trump has his reasons for backing Johnson but that’s up to him. I think Johnson is a coward who is probably being blackmailed for some skeletons he has in his closet. Washington is a filthy cesspool.
Sorry but you are wrong. He isn’t President due to rampant vote fraud done at 3-4 am in 6 swing states.
Trump didn’t endorse Johnson. He’s simply not calling for Johnson to step down, and the reasons are obvious. Even MTG and Gaetz have been reluctant to force a floor vote on him.
The thing is, Johnson was chosen by the House GOP caucus, not by Trump, and yet Trump has to live with whoever they choose. He may very well be doing things in the background to try to get Johnson to step down, but to come out publicly and demand it now would be foolish.
“I think he’s a very good person. You know, he stood very strongly with me on NATO,” added Trump, referring to a campaign rally in which he urged member states to pay more for their common defense — or he would let Russia “do whatever the hell they want.” “I think he’s trying very hard,”

OK, so you don’t like “endorsed”. How about Trump defended Johnson.
The difference between McCarthy and Johnson at this point is that McCarthy had a lot more influence than Johnson does. The fact that no one’s forced a motion to vacate is a function of the precariously thin majority Republicans have, not on any great support for Johnson. He will almost certainly be removed at the start of the next term.
OK, Trump defended Johnson. That’s accurate.
I don’t vote for a Judas party or those who endorse Judas.
I totally agree with all of your points. Like you said, at least McCarthy had more influence and knew how to raise tons of cash.
That’s nice. 🙄
