Mike Johnson Being Publicly Ridiculed By His Own Republicans

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is having a very rough go of things right now. In fact, if I had to put money on it, I would actually bet that Mike Johnson is seriously hoping Democrats do take back the House of Representatives after the midterms because this guy just seems like not only does he not even like his job, he's complained about it all the time, but also he doesn't want it anymore because he can't handle it. So right now what's happening is you got Mike Johnson out there trying to push his Republican caucus with his razor thin majority to pass Donald Trump's SAVE Act, which of course will put voter suppression laws in place nationally. Problem he's having, well, two problems he's having. One, even Republicans are like, yeah, this is kind of a bridge too far. We don't necessarily support it. But the second problem he's having, and he's actually getting called out by his own Republican caucus members in public for this, is that he decided to tie the SAVE Act to the National Defense Authorization Act that would give the Pentagon billions of more dollars that they desperately need because Pete Hegseth has pushed them to the brink of bankruptcy. But that National Defense Authorization Act also has another little caveat in it that calls for increased cooperation between the militaries of the United States and Israel, which everybody knows means, okay, we're going to be bogged down in Iran and perhaps the entire Middle East for decades to come and even Republicans can't stomach that. So Mike Johnson took a very unpopular bill that he knew was already going to struggle to get passed, put it with a thing that Republicans have already spoken out against and he thought this was going to be a good idea and make it easier to pass. I can't make that make sense for you because it doesn't make any sense to me. But that is Mike Johnson's logic. If I take one unpopular thing and put it with another unpopular thing, that's kind of like a double negative and now it's a unpopular thing. Like that, that's his train of thought, apparently. When he posted on social media this week that they were moving forward with the Save and Protect America Act, Republican representative Thomas Massey got on Twitter and fired back and said, he's talking about a spending bill that's $75 billion for military expenses in Iran. It has a $10 billion bribe to states for election security, not the SAVE Act. Don't fall for it. That is a Republican member of Congress calling out on social media, the Republican speaker of the house. I can't even begin to explain the significance of that. That is insane that we are at that point and that Mike Johnson is that bad at his job. Massey continued by saying, it's a bright, shiny object used to give my colleagues cover for voting to proceed on a national defense authorization act that compromises American sovereignty. Most Republicans in the house will knuckle under the threat of being called someone who voted against a bill that advanced the Save America Act. Now giving up America's sovereignty, of course, he's referring to the part about the US cooperating more with the Israeli military, which basically means they call the shots our troops have to follow. He's not the only one though. Republican representative Chip Roy, right? Big maggot dude. Also on the fence about it because he's not sure that this NDAA, national defense authorization act, is such a good idea because of all the money for an endless war that nobody wanted in the first place. Then of course you have Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's no longer in Congress, but she decided to get in on the feud and say, a Trump requested $93 billion bill that gives the Pentagon 60 billion for the Iran war that now killed 17 US service members and injured over 430 more. So much winning with MAGA. Uh, I gotta tell you, I am kind of liking the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene is basically just a professional troll now. That's actually kind of fun. She's still a horrible human being as usual, don't get me wrong, but it's a little funny now that she's fighting against the people that she helped build. Either way, all of this is a disaster for Mike Johnson. He's not good at his job. He doesn't like his job. He doesn't want his job. And it almost seems at this point that he's sabotaging it himself so that he can stop being speaker come January. Hey, thanks for watching everybody.
