Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., joined 'Fox & Friends' to react to the failed attempt to oust him as Speaker following votes on foreign aid.
Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., will remain as House speaker after an effort, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, to oust him from the role failed. Johnson said on 'Fox & Friends' Thursday that the move was 'misguided' and called on House Republicans to stick together with their very slim majority. 'We advance our conservative policies and principles as far as we can here, every single day up the field, in spite of the fact that we have the smallest majority in U.S. history.
But her bluff was called immediately Wednesday when House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., rose to call for a vote on tabling Greene's motion — which effectively kills it before the vote on Johnson's ouster itself. Greene's push got two more backers in Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., after Johnson ushered a foreign aid bill along bipartisan lines that includes $61 billion for Ukraine.
Taylor Greene declined to say if she planned to force another vote, but accused Johnson of being aligned with Democrats after they helped save his job. 'That's not something that I've said,' she said, when asked if she would try a repeat. 'I think today it has proven the uniparty is alive as well. And the Democrats now control Speaker Johnson. That was something that everybody suspected all along. They just voted to save him. And I think that's the message.
