Less than three months into Mike Johnson’s tenure as speaker of the House, some House Republicans are already experiencing buyer’s remorse.

Texas Representative and Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy on Monday publicly raised the possibility of dumping Johnson as speaker.

    And the freedumb caucus will just boot them too.

    This is the symptom of a disease, just getting another body in the chair doesn’t address the cause.

      If the body in the chair is favorable to democrats, the MAGA crowd longer have the means to remove anyone from power unless they can convince the rest of their party, moderates and all, to follow their lead.

      The only way they have been able to wield the power they have so far is because democrats have been supportive of any measure to remove a Republican from the position. They wouldn’t be able to get anywhere without the votes from the democrats.
