“They’re angry on a whole ‘nother level. And here’s what really worries me: They’re done with the Republican party. They are absolutely done with Republican leadership like Mike Johnson, who totally sold us out to the Democrats, joined the uni-party faster than anyone we’ve ever seen in history, and literally made a night-and-day change in a matter of months. “Betrayed …

“Our plan is this: We have to give the American people a reason to trust us and fight for us.

They desperately want him to lead this country …

“I served 20 years in the military. It’s my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags!

“This is the third betrayal by Mike Johnson. He delivered a two part omnibus, funded the Department of Justice – 91 federal indictments against President Trump – funded the FBI that raided Mar-A-Lago, gave him a brand new FBI building, funded Joe Biden’s open border policies that are killing Americans every single day. “Then he reauthorized FISA that spied on …

“The truth is, I would blame head-on the people who are acting like selfish idiots. Johnson has the narrowest majority in modern times, and it’s not a true majority, because he’s got six or eight narcissists — people who think that they individually get to screw up everything. I’d start with Gaetz, but I would say the list goes on. …

“As I see it now, I’m not sure there’s a difference between Mike Johnson being in charge and the Democrats being in charge. He supported it [FISA] with a minority of Republicans, with a majority of Democrats. This is not using the power of the purse. This is abdicating the power of the purse. “That’s ineffective leadership. And if he …

“This is who Tucker is: a click-chaser. Tucker’s MO is simple: defend America’s enemies and attack America’s allies. There isn’t an objective bone left in that washed up news host’s body. Mindless contrarianism is his guiding principle, buttressed by his childish tactic to ‘juSt aSK quEsTiOns!’ “But any educated adult, especially one with such a long career in journalism, should …
