Representative Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, has made a MASSIVE allegation and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
Massie had better hope it’s true.
That’s because the allegations are SO big, that Massie is going to wind up looking like a real buffoon if they turn out to be false.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Massie said that he had heard that “Speaker Johnson is going to leverage his dwindling power in order to change the rules of the House just to maintain his authority.”
“This happens in banana republics, not Constitutional Republics,” the Representative from Kentucky added.
Speaker of the House is next in line to be President after the VP.
Allegedly, Speaker Johnson is going to leverage his dwindling power in order to change the rules of the House just to maintain his authority.
This happens in banana republics, not Constitutional Republics.

The shocking implication from Massie that Johnson’s presidential aspirations are behind his decisions as Speaker of the House are sure to make waves in Washington.
Based on the fact that you’re reading this right now, it looks like his statement is already making headlines.
Johnson acknowledged on April 18 that he “is considering including a provision in the rule on foreign aid funding that would raise the threshold on the motion to vacate. Currently, only one member can force a motion to vacate vote.”
Massie is a member of the powerful Rules Committee.
He is one of three conservatives appointed by then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy who serves to check the power of the Speaker.
The three people appointed by McCarthy already blocked a Johnson border bill from leaving the committee.
Mike Johnson certainly has pressure coming from all angles, as this is completely separate from his issue with Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia threatening to have him removed.
Republicans would do well to get on the same track soon, as time is running out before the 2024 elections.
With all of the effort that liberals are spending on Donald Trump, Republicans should be looking to be united against these injustices.
Instead, during the time we need them most, they’re all fighting with each other.
