Even Republicans aren't happy about House speaker's latest cave to Trump

House Republicans are disapproving of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to remove Rep. Mike Turner, Republican of Ohio, from his position as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Many believe this move was motivated by Donald Trump’s eagerness to install a MAGA loyalist in the position, since the president-elect has long sought to fill congressional seats with those willing to kiss the ring. Though Johnson denied external pressure, Turner believes otherwise.

In a phone interview with CBS reporter and “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan, Turner said that Johnson told him, “You’re fired. There are concerns from Mar-a-Lago.”

Johnson denied this claim.

And yet they think we should obey them. Not gonna happen because you holier than thou have shown how meaningless they are.
