As House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) stares down growing threats of removal from his rebellious right flank, Democrats are debating whether they would save him or or vote to oust him like they did former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Even some Democrats who see a clear contrast between Johnson and McCarthy say the former still needs to prove himself a trustworthy governing partner.

    It’s worth noting that the whole reason MTG wants to oust him (IN HER OWN WORDS) is because he’s reaching across the aisle to pass a bill that includes things that support Ukraine.

    Johnson is one of them in all aspects and they still want to oust him.

    Read this one correctly folks – Going against Russian interests is the real problem here.

    Some of these GOP folks are bought and paid for by Russia.

    It does not matter how hard you toe the party line, if you go against Russian interests, the far reachers of the party will try to get you removed from power and replaced with someone who can be bought.

    This is what takes them so long to find someone to fill the seat.
