House Speaker Mike Johnson is imploring his fellow Republicans to stop venting their frustrations in public and bring their complaints to him directly.
Increasingly, they’re ignoring him.
Cracks inside the GOP conference were stark this week as a member of Johnson’s own leadership team openly accused him of lying, rank-and-file Republicans acted unilaterally to force votes and a leadership-backed bill faltered. It’s all underscored by growing worries that the party is on a path towards losing the majority next year.
Mike Johnson always looks like he’s just been hit by that first stomach knot before explosive diarrhea.
May he and his colleagues perpetually trade a wrathful strain of c. diff
Holy fuck that’s vicious. And perfect.
Didn’t they cut the FDA? Just might happen
Speaker of the House is not a political party position. The House Republicans don’t work for Johnson any more than the House Democrats do. They are supposed to be working for their constituents.
And while there is the need for wheeling and dealing in Washington without announcing everything, really, essentially, the House members should be bringing all of their concerns to the public. That is their fucking job, and Mike Johnson is unamerican for suggesting that they do otherwise.
“Working for constituents”, haha. Good laugh m8, thank you.
Their constituents being, of course, the rich people that fund their campaigns
Johnson told reporters Thursday that he had a “great talk” with Stefanik the night before.
“I called her and I said, ‘Why wouldn’t you just come to me, you know?’” Johnson said. “So we had some intense fellowship about that.”
Asked if she had apologized for calling him a liar, Johnson said, “Um, you ask Elise about that.”
[fellowship intensifies]
I thought fellowship was a very religiously charged word and implied praying together - turns out I’m likely wrong about the prayer.
Can I just check that the normal well adjusted statesmen and women prayed for guidance, as in they couldn’t just think about the issue, weigh up the pros and cons, evaluate the long and short term consequences, but instead had to appeal to some mystical higher power …!? Wtf is wrong with people.
is he worried itll get into the news he never reads?
So keep things normal? Hide in your shells your spineless fs
