‘Everyone Should Be Terrified of Mike Johnson’

“One of the concepts that I think is going to become clear in the coming days, especially if they do vote as expected, the Democrats, to protect him, is what’s called a power sharing agreement, right? … So I think what we’re gonna see is we’re gonna see Mike Johnson to keep his job — because he cannot win with Republican votes … he is going to have to rely on Democrats to remaing the Speaker of the House.”

Boyle requested what extra injury Johnson may do with a coalition authorities with Democrats for the remainder of the 12 months. Greene made clear the potential for additional destruction is very large.

“I think everyone should be terrified of Mike Johnson,” she replied.

Greene first detailed the importance of Johnson’s capitulations to Democrats to date, starting with spending payments. “Let’s walk through it. So he funded the government with a two-part omnibus, something we said ‘No more Omnibuses, no more big spending package, twelve separate appropriation bills.’ Well, that all stopped once they threw Kevin McCarthy out. We [had] passed seven separate appropriation bills; we only had five more to do when Mike Johnson became Speaker. He scrapped that entire plan and put together a two-part omnibus that he made a deal with Chuck Schumer on all the language in the bill and funded the government spending more money than Nancy Pelosi spent. And the omnibus was literally a policy copycat of Nancy Pelosi’s omnibus. It funded full-term abortion, funded the trans agenda on children, fully funded the Department of Justice with all of the prosecutions going on, from J6ers all the way to President Trump with Jack Smith, fully funded the FBI that has raided Mar-a-Lago, and he gave them a brand new building.”

She highlighted Johnson’s flipflop on the warrant requirement, one thing a bipartisan coalition had been working to incorporate in a FISA reauthorization for over a 12 months.

“Then a week later or two weeks later, he comes out, reauthorizes FISA, and he is the deciding vote, votes down the warrant requirements – something that he was for six months ago, but all of a sudden he was the deciding vote and voted it down,” she mentioned.
Finally she mentioned maybe essentially the most high-profile Johnson flipflop, on Ukraine assist and the border.

“Then, a week later, he comes back with the foreign aid – foreign war package, it wasn’t aid, foreign war – with over $100 billion to fund war all over the world: Ukraine, 26 billion to Israel, and then he puts a $9 billion poison pill in that aid money to Israel that goes to Hamas and Gaza,” she mentioned. “He calls it Gaza aid, but we all know Hamas is the government of Gaza. So it goes directly to Hamas.”

She additionally highlighted “$3.5 billion in there that Joe Biden goes to make use of to usher in so-called refugees from Gaza – once more, Hamas – into America, and Joe Biden needs to make them residents, I’m positive to allow them to vote for him in November.

“I mean, the list goes on and on.”

Green focused the upcoming funding deadline as a serious alternative for Democrats to power extra concessions from Johnson.

“This is where people need to realize it can go a lot further,” she mentioned. “And I’ll tell you, September 30, we have an another government funding deadline. So that big two-part omnibus everyone just saw happen, that was late. The deadline is September 30 coming up, we’re supposed to do that again. What is Mike Johnson going to give away this time?”

Despite simply receiving tens of billions of American tax {dollars}, Ukraine will ask for but more cash quickly, with Johnson being the one one who may stand in its manner.

“They said by the end of summer, the $61 billion that Americans just wrote a check for to Ukraine, that money is going to be spent and gone,” she mentioned. “We’ll don’t know the place it went. We don’t know the kind of homes or yachts or automobiles or the place that cash goes to be saved and hidden away as a result of we all know that Ukraine is one of essentially the most corrupt governments on Earth. So they’re going to come back again and so they’re going to say, ‘Mike Johnson, we need another check for Ukraine.’ That’s going to be on the finish of the summer time.

“So there’s a lot more damage that can be done and this is extremely dangerous.”

Greene had harsh phrases for her colleagues who need Johnson gone however argue now just isn’t the time to vacate the chair.

“It doesn’t matter that, ‘Oh, Marjorie, it’s six months away from November and the election. Can’t you just wait and we agree with you about Mike Johnson? Can’t you just wait till after then?’ No, absolutely not. We have a job to do right now,” she continued. “And our job is to fight for the Republican agenda and America first agenda that voters gave us in 2022. Our job is not to whine and complain in Washington that ‘Oh, this is just too hard for us. Oh, it’s just too tough for us to go through.’ That is complete surrender. And I can’t be a part of it.”

She spoke of the tough actuality going through hundreds of thousands of Americans on account of Democrat insurance policies Johnson has continued to unleash. “Most people I know, Matt, are regular Americans. And regular Americans are scraping up their money to afford gas and bills. The food costs that they’re having to pay for now is absurd. People have maxed out their credit cards trying to make rent. Young people today have no hope of ever owning a home. I mean, it’s absurd what regular Americans are going through while stupid, pathetic, weak Republicans in Washington are all whining and complaining that ‘Oh, it’s too hard for us to hold our own Speaker accountable’ and put someone else in that actually has a heartbeat, maybe that can create fog on a mirror because they actually breathe and can actually fight back against the Democrats. I’m just I’m so over it.”

Next week, Greene will present Americans the chance to know precisely the place their representatives stand, and who will be a part of her in taking steps to really resolve the issues going through Americans and buck the uniparty.

“This vote next week, Matt, will give everybody a full list. It’s gonna give everyone a full list of Democrats and Republicans. The ones that come together to save Mike Johnson — that’s your uniparty right there.”
