House Republicans' dissatisfaction with Speaker Mike Johnson is rapidly growing as Reps.
Scott Perry and Jim Banks are sharing their frustrations about what Banks called "Insanity" in Johnson's foreign aid framework, which includes over three times as much money for Ukraine as it does for Israel while neglecting the U.S. Southern border.
Speaker Johnson "Failed to incorporate any border security into any of the FOUR of the bills he's going to ram down our throats this week."
Marjorie Taylor Greene, who filed a motion to vacate against Johnson ahead of Easter break, and Andy Biggs signaled opposition to the multiple-impact reentry vehicles rule that Johnson seeks to merge the bills.
Greene declared she would vote against the rule, and with just a one-seat majority and growing Republican opposition, Johnson would need help from Democrats to get the rule passed to unlock votes for the aid.
After Massie announced on X that he advised Johnson to resign and that he was behind Greene's motion to vacate, American Tribune co-founder Jason Robertson asked Massie, "What was the straw that broke the Camel's Back? FISA? Foreign War Funding? Spending more than Nancy Pelosi? All of the above?"
A defiant Johnson declared he would not step down in the afternoon.
