Speaker of the House Mike Johnson earned the undying gratitude of Democrats for his falling in line with the Biden agenda and now they’re returning the favor.
On Tuesday, Democrats announced that they will protect the top Republican from a motion to vacate spearheaded by his top conservative critic, Rep. Marjorie Taylore Greene (R-GA) over his craven sellouts.
The shocking development comes after Johnson’s flip-flop on the $61 billion Kyiv kickback package, a massive sum for the Zelensky regime that President Joe Biden demanded last year and a knife in the ribs for pro-America conservatives who were insisting on a few measly crumbs for U.S. border security, thanks to the shiftless speaker, there were none.
Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) who would seemingly stand to greatly benefit if Johnson’s gavel were taken away joined other top House Democrats in issuing a statement pledging to protect him – meaning that Biden is happy with the status quo, as well he should be.

“At this moment, upon completion of our national security work, the time has come to turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction. We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed,” Jeffries and his leadership team said in a statement.
There seems to be a warm afterglow with Democrats after Johnson gave them their very, very special moment.

Rep. Greene was fuming and suggested that Johnson was wheeling and dealing to sell out Republicans in exchange for being allowed to keep his job.
Everyday, I fight the Democrat agenda destroying America and I fight for an America First Republican agenda.

“Mike Johnson is officially the Democrat Speaker of the House. Here is their official endorsement of his Speakership. What slimy back room deal did Johnson make for the Democrats’ support?” Greene asked, sharing a copy of the Democrat statement.
“He should resign, switch parties, and continue voting for Biden’s open border invasion of America, endless wars, full term abortion on demand, transgender agenda on children, warrantless spying on the American people, weaponizing government against President Trump and his supporters, and every other Democrat wishlist item he’s handed over,” she added. “If the Democrats want to elect him Speaker (and some Republicans want to support the Democrats’ chosen Speaker), I’ll give them the chance to do it.”
A more sober, less shrill, bible-toting version of Nancy Pelosi, Johnson gave Biden, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything that they wanted and then some with the Ukraine giveaway, the renewal of FISA government warrantless snooping despite it being obvious that the surveillance system was being used to target political opposition to the regime, and the gargantuan $1.2 trillion spending bill that was chock full of left-wing pork and money for divisive cultural projects.
He will now avoid the fate suffered by his predecessor Kevin McCarthy with Democrats set to save his hide.
Now he OWES them – BIG TIME – and Jeffries might as well just slap a dog collar on him and parade him around the House floor like a pet.
