According to exiled whistleblower and former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, Johnson's change of heart is due to "a textbook case of Congressional capture." He tweeted, "With a single briefing, the intelligence agencies routinely transform their most strident critics into the tamest of cheerleaders." At one time, Johnson was regarded as a staunch supporter of the "Make America Great Again" movement.
Previously, Johnson had railed against omnibus spending bills and extending FISA surveillance powers in a stunning twist, his positions changed as House Speaker.
Sadly, on Saturday, with the help of Democrats and a minority of his Republican colleagues, Johnson rammed through the foreign aid package, which supported other countries, while providing zero assistance to our Border Patrol.
"The U.S. House of Representatives under the direction of Speaker Mike Johnson. Democrats are celebrating his total capitulation with no victory for securing our border." The optics of the Ukrainian flag waving was so nauseating that Congresswoman Kat Cammack promised to introduce legislation to prohibit such displays in the future.
Even though the majority of House Republicans dissented, Johnson ensured its passage.
Resisting the will of most of his Republican colleagues, and millions of GOP activists nationwide, has become a hallmark of Johnson's tenure as House Speaker.
Congressman Gerry Connolly agreed with Johnson on the Ukraine aid package and condemned House Republicans who opposed the legislation.
