Speaker Mike Johnson Stops Gravy Train to Ukraine, Rejects New Request for Billions

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the House will no longer approve aid to Ukraine.

Johnson stated that they’re going to wait until President Donald Trump shows up before writing anymore blank checks to Ukraine.

This decision follows criticism from some who have said that Johnson’s leadership has been lacking.

There were earlier attempts to remove him as Speaker over support for Ukraine funding failed but only 11 voted to sack him.

It’s a welcomed decision, if only it had come months and years ago.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced in a Wednesday press conference that the House would not approve any more aid to Ukraine in light of President Trump’s victory and upcoming inauguration.

This comes after a second threat against Johnson of an attempt to elect a new Speaker.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, some Freedom Caucus members believe Mike Johnson has been an “abysmal failure” and want to replace him.

Earlier this year, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) tried to oust Johnson as Speaker with a Motion to Vacate following his repeated broken promises, especially regarding wasteful spending and foreign aid to Ukraine.

The attempted ouster came after Johnson led Republicans to give up a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702, and voted to send an additional $60 BILLION of taxpayer money to Ukraine, a move that President Trump expressly opposed. All of this furthered Biden’s agenda.

However, only 11 Congressmen voted for Greene’s Motion. 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and current Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, voted to keep Mike Johnson as Speaker.
