The Moscow Marge trio: Paul Gosar joins Greene in her mission to oust Speaker Johnson [1]
['Carla Sinclair']
Date: 2024-04-19
Marjorie Taylor Greene's destructive mission to oust Republican Speaker Mike Johnson picked up steam today with fellow Congress-conspiracist Paul Gosar. This comes after MAGA Rep. Thomas Massie joined her cause on Tuesday.
"I have added my name in support of the motion to vacate the Speaker," announced the extremist who spoke at Nick Fuentes' white nationalist convention with Greene in 2022.
"Our border cannot be an afterthought. We need a Speaker who puts America first rather than bending to the reckless demands of the warmongers, neocons and the military industrial complex making billions from a costly and endless war half a world away," Gosar ignorantly said, not understanding (or, more accurately, caring about) what it means to "put America first."
From MSNBC:
According to some accounts, the number of Republicans prepared to kick Johnson out of the speaker's office is likely to inch higher soon. Following up on our coverage from a few days ago, in a chamber with more than 400 members, the fact that a few want to depose Johnson might seem trivial, but the legislative arithmetic remains highly relevant: With one GOP member scheduled to resign in the coming days, the House Republicans' conference will shrink to just 217 members, leaving party leaders with a one-vote margin.
And from Meidas Touch:
