Johnson: Call Taylor Greene's Bluff On Aid.

Look, the time has arrived for Johnson to do what's right intellectually and morally, and that's funding both Ukraine and Israel. Put a bill before the House and let the chips fall where they may. It's clear that Taylor Greene doesn't have the votes to remove Johnson, so her motion to vacate would be a useless parliamentary procedure.

If it comes to a vote, almost all Democrats and a good chunk of Republicans would vote to keep Johnson as Speaker. That's reality. So let her have at it. She won't win. The other thing is the irony of how loyal TG was to McCarthy and how suddenly disloyal she is now. Jeez, I wonder why. Surely, had nothing to do with getting a leadership post then, but not now. Nah. 

The Senate aid bill will pass if brought to the floor by Johnson, especially in light of the Iranian attack on Israel. It's time for Johnson to show that he's got guts. Otherwise, he'll likely go down in history as a failed and weak Speaker.
