Don’t step down, MJ. Keep the Conservative Chaos going! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[JohnDoe-pkhs]

I mean he may not want to, but.... not really up to him. If they vote him out, he's done.

[johnpenley]

Mike Johnson brought his Mad Drunk Church Lady along to yell Shut Up!! 😊

[danboyd]

He shouldn't resign because a small minority of his Caucus is rebelling. He should strip them of committee assignments and let it be known that fate awaits all rebels.

[cptbaker]

Republicans are asking him to resign because they know a motion to vacate will never pass.

MTG needs to step down so her district can find someone competent to do the job she is in over her head doing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[albertogomez]

MTG won’t be happy, but I think Speaker is doing a good job??

[ABCDEFGHIJK]

Why dig up something from weeks ago and make it look like it's something he said today!?

[TheCommunicationCoach]

...said everyone before you who got booted right after.

Mike made a deal with democrats, or did he. Is Mike
Being threatened. Extortion is a crime.

[MikeSippola-ndbw]

I remember the speaker, praying on the house floor to be seen by men the day he was elevated to speaker. What did Christ say about such things? I also remember democrats adoring him In Their comments about him. I'll leave it at that....

[brucesegerdahl]

We need separation of church and state😂😮

Who represents who Americans are?

Those protesting against the genocide in Gaza? Or those who authorize funds for Israel, despite the war crimes its military is committing?

[jacquelinenguyen]

The House of Representatives is wading through their muddy pool.

[ozkanokur]

In reality, they do not care about the problems of American citizens. Both groups, which seem to be rivals, are interested in giving the taxes of American citizens as aid to a small state with a population of 7-8 million people.

[Durenda-dwbp]

He was a Big Mistake. I Never want to hear him say he’s a Christian again !

[DeadCat-]

He should hit back and bring up article 3 of the fourteenth amendment.

Biden needs to address the chaos on college campuses across the country. You need to legislate to close the border, end Ukraine funding, and present a balaced budget-requiring huge cuts.

[juandoe]
