WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.
Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.
Dems should make a deal with Johnson. They will throw him a few votes in exchange to allow Jeffries the ability to schedule votes. That way both parties decide what things to hold votes about.
No democrat should ever vote to leave this bigot in the succession line to the presidency.
Some fun things Mike Johnson has done:
Called us a “depraved culture” for having high LGBTQ identification:

Made his daughter pledge her virginity to him at a “purity ball”:
And just read what he has to say about gay marriage:

He’s awful. Here’s the problem: they’re all awful. What’s the good choice? Challenge mode: has to also be viable for a vote from his party.
Well he would mostly just be the GOP’s speaker. Dems would have their own unofficial speaker and it would be Jeffries, not Johnson. We could mostly start ignoring Johnson with this arrangement.
Except that he remains 3rd in line to the presidency, has massive power over how the house is run and so would just backstab democrats after any “deal?”
There is two paths, we can either have a compromise speaker who isn’t Mike Johnson, or Jeffries, without massive concessions (not just floor time, actual policy concessions) it makes no sense for democrats to save Johnson from his own party.
I keep posting this, but it never gets old
Wasn’t that the branch he was kneeling to the hardest? If even they don’t like him, I doubt he will remain speaker long.
It’s so funny how many GOP crazies run because “God told them to,” and then fall flat on their faces with no popular support.
He must have an excellent sense of humor.
you live laugh love to see it.
At least that will give him more time to allow him to let his son know what he’s doing.
