Speaker of the House Mike Johnson finally announces no more aid to Ukraine!
Says he will wait to see what the new Commander in Chief wants to do.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 4, 2024 - This comes after a second threat against Mike Johnson (Lou.) of an attempt to elect a new Speaker of the House.
Some Freedom Caucus members believe Mike Johnson has been an “abysmal failure” and want to replace him.
Earlier this year, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Geo.), Thomas Massie (Kent.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) tried to oust Johnson as Speaker with a Motion to Vacate following his repeated broken promises, especially regarding wasteful spending and foreign aid to Ukraine.
The attempted ouster came after Johnson led Republicans to give up a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Amerikans under FISA Section 702, and voted to send an additional $60 billion of taxpayer money to Ukraine, a move that President-elect Donald J. Trump expressly opposed. All of this furthered fascist pretender Joe Biden’s agenda.
However, only 11 congressmen voted for Greene’s Motion. 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Kalif.) and current Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) voted to keep Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House.
But it appears that Johnson may be taking steps in the right direction, and hopefully, it stays that way.
Johnson also recently showed that he does have a spine when he declared, “A man is a man and a woman is a woman,” before enacting Rep. Nancy Mace’s (S.C.) proposed rule prohibiting biological men from using women’s restrooms on Capitol Hill.
Johnson was asked Wednesday whether he would follow Biden's request and attach an additional $24 billion to a continuing resolution, and he said he will "wait and take the new Commander in Chief's direction on all of that."
“There are developments by the hour in Ukraine, I think, as we predicted, and as I said to all of you weeks before the election, if Donald Trump is elected, it will change the dynamic of the Russia war on Ukraine, and we're seeing that happen. It is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision now. We have a newly elected president, and we're going to wait and take the new Commander in Chief's direction on all of that, so I don't expect any Ukraine funding to come up now.”
