Previous Speaker anticipates unsuccessful motion to remove Mike Johnson
Former Speaker McCarthy’s Reassurance Amid Political Turbulence
Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy voiced confidence in the safety of his successor, current House Speaker Mike Johnson, amidst swirling controversies.
Firebrand Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene’s recent move to oust Johnson over a significant government funding bill has caused ripples, but McCarthy remains unperturbed.
McCarthy’s Words of Wisdom
In a recent appearance on CBS News’s Face the Nation, McCarthy offered sage advice, saying, “Do not be fearful of a motion to vacate.” He downplayed the impact of such a maneuver, hinting at its unlikelihood to succeed again.
When asked about Greene’s motion, McCarthy reiterated, “I do not think they could do it again.” He attributed his own removal from power to Representative Matt Gaetz’s actions, which Gaetz vehemently refutes.
Encouragement and Defiance
McCarthy urged Johnson to “do it fearlessly,” highlighting the importance of focusing on the responsibilities at hand despite the political noise.
Despite McCarthy’s reassuring stance, tension mounts as Gaetz, facing scrutiny over alleged misconduct, pushes back against McCarthy’s claims.
Greene’s move to unseat Johnson has garnered limited support, underscoring McCarthy’s faith in Johnson’s position.
A Call for Unity
Reflecting on the internal strife within the House GOP, McCarthy urged for unity and a shift towards prioritizing national interests. He emphasized the necessity to “put the country first” to navigate through the current challenges.
Assessing the situation, McCarthy expressed confidence in Johnson’s leadership, commending his efforts amidst a turbulent political climate.
