“It’s A Tinder Box”: GOP Members Consider Following MTG Into Retirement, Say White House Treats Them ‘Like Garbage’
“Morale has never been lower…”
Following the surprise announcement by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) that she’s retiring from Congress in 42 days – claiming that President Trump and House Republicans have abandoned America First priorities, it appears that others within the GOP are looking for the exit as well.
“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all — appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms.
“More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”
It would take a VERY few retirements to shift the power back to The Democrat Party. Hard to believe/imagine but the Republicans cannot afford to lose a single vote. Yet more reasoning for term limits to avoid internal power struggles……
Maybe if they got off their lazy asses and passed some helpful legislation to curb spending, support Trump, remove judges and a host of others they might get some respect. The majority aren’t worth the air they breathe. And Johnson is an absolute shit. If they’re not happy they can remove Johnson in a day. What a bunch of crybabies – but then they are thieving politicians, so what can one expect. Fuck them all.
SB – I think that was the point of the article…..
