As we reported, Speaker Mike Johnson is making a tour of conservative news outlets like Newsmax and Fox News trying to sell the 1,500-page continuing resolution to the public. He told Fox News that he'd chatted with DOGE's Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and told them that he doesn't like the spending either ..
. but he's still voting for the bill. “We gotta get this thing done so we don’t have the shutdown," he told Fox News.
He's hoping people will allow this to pass and then conservatives can get their fingerprints on the omnibus in March. “That’s when the big changes start.” In light of all of the criticism of Johnson, Rep.
Greg Murphy of North Carolina is reminding us that leadership is hard. Leadership is tough. Especially in a divided Congress.
What is tougher is those who complain from the sideline when they have don’t have to get the votes themselves. Don't try to defend him. Go make excuses somewhere else, you dumb clown.
We’re not on the sidelines. We are the ones paying for the field AND the pay raises you’re giving yourselves. If you can’t do the job, then resign and we’ll hire someone who can.
Preferably someone who doesn’t cry when his...

who doesn’t cry when his bosses—THE PEOPLE—tell him to sack up. . @RepGregMurphy are you telling the constituents you supposedly represent to shut up and obey ? https://t.
co/phwcq3JVPR Sidelines? Tell my tax bill that. It’s all with our money and in our name. It’s not the “sidelines”.
What the heck do you mean by that? Are you saying you DON'T work for the American people and don't want to hear it when we are unhappy with the way you may or may not vote? Dang, I need to find out which state you represent so I can help them find someone who represents them. What's so hard to understand!?! Just put in a two-week clean CR and work through Christmas to get it done! Otherwise the government shuts down and who cares? Yes, voters are asking you to LEAD by making tough choices: - AGAINST business as usual - AGAINST the swamp - FOR your constituents - FOR reducing interest on the debt - FOR peace & prosperity Getting ratioed this badly for being a coward and a sellout is tough too, Gregory. Just do the right and sane thing, vote no on the CR, and those of us on the sidelines won't have to complain so much.
Or, we can just spend a little bit of time and treasure to primary you in 26 with fewer than 50,000 votes. My family's well-being isn't on the sidelines. My wallet isn't on the sidelines.
We've got skin in the game, too, even more than you do. Resign We the people are not "on the sidelines." If the job is too tough for Johnson, he should step down and make room for a real leader.
