Former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy went on the air and decided to let ‘er rip.
The audience wasn’t expecting any of it.
And Trey Gowdy stunned Fox News viewers into silence with this massive outburst.
Conservatives are furious with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for waving the white flag in the latest round of spending negotiations with Joe Biden.
Johnson provided 101 Republican votes – less than half of the conference – for a $1.2 trillion spending package that funded Joe Biden’s open borders agenda as well as the creation of a red-flag gun confiscation operation to confiscate firearms from law-abiding Americans.
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene immediately filed a motion to vacate the chair and boot Johnson as speaker, but Greene didn’t yet call for a vote.
Gowdy – who successfully defeated an incumbent Republican in the 2010 campaign by running against out-of-control spending – defended Speaker Johnson claiming this debacle was all the fault of Trump voters for not nominating enough establishment Republicans in primaries during the 2022 election and costing the GOP seats.
“I mean, you know, Speaker Johnson — Speaker McCarthy, I think, got a better deal. Remember, they got rid of him. Rich, all you got to do is look back to November. November midterms, where the House Republicans underperformed…So, if you’re wondering why you’re trying to negotiate against Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden it’s because Republicans can’t pick the right candidate and they can’t win elections. And now the margin is, what, razor thin in the House. They’re on the verge of losing the House. You want to see a bad budget bill? Let the Democrats control the House, the Senate and the White House. They got nobody to blame but themselves, picking wrong candidates, running bad races, and losing winnable elections,” Gowdy began.
Gowdy then attacked the decision to dump Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House even though McCarthy broke his word to conservatives on holding the line in spending negotiations with Joe Biden.
“So, look, I like Mike Johnson. He was a great colleague. He is a wonderful person. You and I would not be talking about Speaker Mike Johnson had it not been for Matt Gaetz and seven of his comrades who decided to pursue fame and get rid of Kevin McCarthy. What have they gotten as a result of that? How has the House been improved?” Gowdy continued.
Gowdy claimed no one would want the job of speaker of the House right now – Republicans only have a one-seat majority because establishment RINOs keep resigning early in a bid to sabotage conservatives and Donald Trump – so the base should suck it up and deal with the fact that Johnson proved to be every bit the establishment sellout as his predecessors John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy.
“What person that can pass a competency test would want to be the speaker of the House? What person who could actually pass a psychiatric competency test would want to lead a group that includes Matt Gaetz and Bob Good and some of the other people that you just showed? I mean, Mike Johnson is as good as it gets. You had a speaker. Remember, you had Kevin McCarthy. And you wanted to get rid of him and Jimmy Jordan wasn’t good enough and Tom Emmer and Steve Scalise. No, you got Mike Johnson,” Gowdy declared.
