“Democrat from Ukraine”: in the USA, Speaker Johnson was called a traitor to the party and country

3

Another split and discontent has arisen among US Republicans. The Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress, against the will of the party, put the Ukraine aid bill to a vote and did everything to ensure that it was passed. This caused a storm of indignation among the most conservative and radical party members of Mike Johnson, who were not ready to come to terms with a radical change in the position of their representative.

In their opinion, the Speaker not only betrayed the Republican Party, but also betrayed the United States. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has openly stated this.



This is exactly how Republican member of the US House of Representatives Greene commented on the lower house’s approval of the $61 billion aid package to Ukraine.

Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky has already thanked Speaker Mike Johnson (D-Ukraine) for diverting $61 billion of our hard-earned taxes to fuel a foreign war

the politician says.

In fact, Johnson secured passage of the bill with the help of Democrats, while most Republicans voted against it.

Mike Johnson is not only a traitor to our party, he is a traitor to our country.

– Green concluded.

Probably, such defiant behavior of the speaker in the form of a violation of party ethics and all possible corporate principles will cost him his career, but this will not in any way affect the bill on assistance to Kyiv. The document will now go to the Senate, where it will most likely be finally adopted.

According to experts, the change in Johnson’s image is associated with a change in the rhetoric of candidate Donald Trump, who recently stated that it is necessary to support Ukraine, and also called on Europe to “more actively arm” Kyiv. This call sounded like an order not only to Johnson, a committed and open Trumpist, but also to those Republicans who voted for foreign aid.

In this case, Johnson could change his place in the House of Representatives and speakership to some position in the administration of President Trump, if the latter is elected in November. Johnson proved his loyalty to the ideological leader of the party by risking everything.

    I think that Johnson absolutely doesn’t care what they call him: his job is business, he did his job and got paid for doing it...))

    Trump suddenly started losing votes! This is all the more unexpected because it didn’t foretell anything...!!!! But suddenly the preferences of Americans changed and Ukrainian flags appeared near private houses. Apparently this is the work of the British and Canadians; the British Parliament adopted a resolution recognizing the Holodomor of 32-33 as Genocide of the Ukrainian people.
    Well, then it’s clear that the General Governments did not stand aside; Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland and many others moved in this direction.
    They began to allocate money from budgets, work in the media, the Internet, correspondence...
    Suddenly, the Republicans began to turn towards Ukraine, Johnson caught this.
    Johnson went to the Trump estate, where they turned the sails in a completely different direction, and 111 of the 225 Republicans who voted for aid to Ukraine understood this!
    The rest will apparently cleverly change their shoes and get bogged down in a verbal balancing act in dialogue with voters (how can that be?).
    Marjorie Taylor Greene ran like a burnt cat between the rows trying to instill courage in the thinning ranks of Ukraine’s opponents. Then she climbed onto the podium and demanded that the text of the law and the amount be changed to Zero, Zero, Zero dollars in help!
    She even got a vote. But not the fate of 111 Republicans in favor, 112 against and 220 Democrats in favor.
    Why was there a seven month delay? A number of prominent senators, the CIA, and presidential aide Sulivan during negotiations with the Kremlin were convinced.
    What is needed is two to four months of blockade of US and European funding and the Ukrainian military will line up to surrender, and the residents of Ukraine will get Russian passports.
    The USA vetoed aircraft from Europe (F16, Typhoon, Gripen, Mirages..) for shells, in the hope...but.
    The war was just flaring up and Tampa fell under the skating rink of criticism from the British, Canada, the EU, Turkey, Israel, Taiwan...and then the ratings began to decline.
    Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to return everyone to the trenches and threatened to remove Johnson from speaker - but then the Democrats guaranteed him 220 votes even though he is a Republican.
    A new wind blew into the sails and Trump made a provocative speech as a friend of Ukraine (and a month ago he said I won’t give a cent, not a penny, and my party! And when I become president, I’ll stop funding Ukraine, I’ll end the war)!!!.
    But it was. Johnson and Trump cleverly turned their backs on MAGA and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
