“Speaker Johnson LIED saying, “My position is clear--any bill that does not solve the problem and secure the border is not acceptable to the House.”
As Speaker of the House, leading up to the funding negotiations, Johnson possessed all the power needed to force the Democrats to secure the border, as he controlled the power of the purse!
Instead he surrendered ALL of that power to Chuck Schumer and did NOTHING to secure the border in the $1.7 trillion dollar two part Omnibus.
Speaker Johnson fully funded Biden’s border invasion!
Not only that, Speaker Johnson forced us to vote on the 1,012 page Omnibus #2 bill with ONLY 1 day to read it, under suspension NOT under regular order, and REFUSED to allow us to bring any amendments to the floor for votes.
Speaker Johnson waited months, all the way to the dreaded government shutdown deadline after passing 3 CRs before forcing this massive betrayal down our Republican conference’s throats in order to use the threat of a shutdown to pressure Republicans to vote for it.
And Johnson forced our conference to vote on this ruinous Omnibus during an election year which could cause some to lose their re-elections because they followed his leadership and walked the plank and voted for this disaster. That’s not how you take care of your conference and that’s not how you win the majority next congress either.
He used every single disgusting dirty trick in the swamp to do the bidding of the Democrats.
The border invasion is the number one issue in America and has truly created a national security threat and every American is fed up with it.
Demanding REAL border security should have been the red line in our “Republican” majority House funding bills!
But Speaker Johnson surrendered all negotiating power and threw away our opportunity to stop the deadly daily border invasion.”
