RW politicians like #MAGAMike, side with Netanyahu, disregard his war crimes & insufficient aid going into Gaza:
Johnson threatens ICC sanctions vote over Netanyahu arrest warrant application.
Rep Roy has introduced a bill that would sanction ICC officials who investigate U.S. citizens or allies. It's supported by nearly two dozen other Republicans, including Rep Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference.
#MagaMike Johnson was the chief whip for Donald Trump. #Maga Mike Johnson led the efforts to overturn our election. He is anti-choice. He blocks our border security. He lies for criminal Donald Trump. He supports conversion therapy. Mike Johnson is a deranged white christian nationalist aka American nazi.
Johnson’s insane dominionist Christian nationalism, aka fascism dictates that the bible should drive decisions in government and white supremacists will rule over you and our treasury.
"Speaker Johnson just made statements to reporters here in NY & then rushed away taking no questions. I asked him if he would still back Trump if the former president is convicted & he said nothing.
Odd scene. Came to park. Read from notes. Rushed off."
-R Costa
He knows that #TFG is guilty, but as the House Speaker, he's forced to toe the line by supporting the amoral traitor, no matter what he says or crime he's committed.
#MAGAMike parrots his mentor's xenophobic rhetoric & says he'll help #TFG round up undocumented immigrants & deport ppl who've paid taxes & contributed to their communities & the workforce for years, sometimes, decades:
"Less than 24 hours after Democrats saved his job, Speaker Johnson vows to ‘round Up’ 11 million undocumented people, & likely deport them."
I'm livid, I understand #MAGAMike's motive, but Min. Ldr McConnell shouldn't question Pres Biden as he finally limits arms to IL bc of the famine in Gaza & #domicide, meaning, that the Palestinians have nowhere safe to go: their homes, bus'... destroyed💔. It should be bc of credible #warcrimes, #IHL... The #ICC is considering issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu & other top IL officials for alleged war crimes, incl. genocide, incitement to genocide, & the crime of apartheid123.
GOP leaders do #TFG's bidding. The #RuleOfLaw will disappear if Biden isn't reelected:
#MAGAMike announced that Congress, on behalf of TFG, is going to use every power available to him/colleagues to nullify America’s court system.
“Trump has done nothing wrong here & he continues to be the target of endless lawfare -has to stop. & you’re gonna see Congress address this in every possible way that we can, bc we need accountability -all these cases need to be dropped..." https://hartmannreport.com/p/why-america-needs-to-know-about-trump
#MAGAMike LIES, introduces a bill to ban non-citizens from voting *illegal in fed elections.
"We now have so many non citizens in the country -if only one out of a hundred of those voted, they'd cast 100s of 1000s of votes -dangerously high number -a great concern-could obviously change the outcome of our elections."
Sen Lee: "The only reason to oppose this -would be if you're comfortable with or even somehow want non-citizens to vote &- in some cases to to influence the outcome of elections."
#MAGAMike, who has relied on the #TFG's support to hold off a bid to oust him from leadership by Rep Marjorie Greene, said measure was aimed at preventing noncitizens from voting in Nov.
"We all know -intuitively -that a lot of illegals are voting in fed elections. But it's not been something that is easily provable," Johnson told reporters w/o offering evidence to support the claim."
2016: Only 30 incidents of
possible noncitizen voting, or 0.0001% of votes cast.
"Yet another loyalty performance for an audience of One, who's addressed as though he is still the head of state. We're also dwelling in the "upside-down world" of #authoritarianism, as I call it. "Accountability" means stopping investigations into abuse of power & "a threat to our entire system"=a threat to Republican plans to convert America to an autocracy under TFG's lead. That's the most telling phrase."

A Dem counteroffensive to pushback agst #MAGAMike’s agenda: “A 65-yr-old professor manhandled by cops -Dems could call such ppl as witnesses at upcoming hearings GOP’s staging, to return the debate to core principles about protests: use hearings to voice core principles: it’s possible to call out antisemitism while also insisting it's not antisemitic to criticize IL’s war conduct. How Soros/GRT tropes map onto a spectrum… #TFG re protests -use of the lang. of dictators-.” https://newrepublic.com/article/181295/mike-johnson-lie-campus-protests-dems-weapon
#MAGAMike is traitorous -launched an investig. into univ. protests to take advantage of Dem divisions.
Even as Dems coalesced around saving Johnson, Rep McGovern argued they shouldn't be "cheap dates" going forward. "There's growing pressure to use the leverage we obviously have ... ppl want to make sure that we're not going to be a cheap date -It remains to be seen whether he recognizes the reality -has to govern in a bipartisan fashion -next move is his," -Rep Raskin. https://www.axios.com/2024/05/03/mike-johnson-democrats-mtg-motion-vacate
Rs are always defending THEIR #1A rights, but that privilege is reserved for THEM.
#MAGAMike is zeroing in on the wave of pro-PA protests that've rocked college campuses *looks to unify his fractured HSE R conf. -bitterly splintered for months by exposing divisions within the HSE Dem caucus.
