Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Mike Johnson A 'Lame Duck'

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgie called Speake Mike Johnson a 'lame duck' suggesting he's just a placeholder in his current role of the House speaker adding he is not raising money for the party and is therefore not viable to keep the job.

The House on Saturday approved a series of bills providing tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid to embattled U.S. allies overseas, breaking a months-long impasse that bitterly divided Congress and sending the package along to the Senate.

The legislation — marrying military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan with humanitarian assistance for Gaza — marked a victory for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who had taken the politically risky step of bringing the proposals to the floor over the objection of hard-line conservatives, some of whom want to boot him from power.

That decision has endeared the Speaker to Ukraine’s supporters in both parties, who argued the need for an aggressive strategy to help Kyiv’s beleaguered forces counter Russia’s imperial designs in Europe.
