Newsmax host Rob Finnerty omitted the part where Republicans cannot govern at all. And the fight for Mike Johnson to keep his role as speaker of the House is already a shitshow even before Congress meets at noon today. Finnerty is not a fan of Johnson’s.
“We’ve seen Johnson send money to Ukraine, authorize spying on Americans, and blow the budget,” he said, Media Matters reports. “So it is clear that Johnson has got some work to do over the next day. But it’s also worth noting that Republicans in the House also have a lot of work to do because Republicans are really bad at being speaker of the House.”
“The last four Republican speakers — John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and Mike Johnson — they all combined lasted as long as Nancy Pelosi,” he continued. “From 1955 to 1995, for thirty straight years, it was all Democrat speakers.”
“Think about that: thirty straight years, all Democrats. The question now is, is Mike Johnson the right man to pursue the ambitions of the Republican Party moving forward?” he asked. “We’re going to find out soon enough. And as Thomas Massie picks out coffins right now, do not count Mike Johnson out just yet.”
