Speaker Mike Johnson calls on Columbia University's president to resign amid pro-Palestinian protest

he's standing next to the 'shut up!' lady

may peace prevail

One sidedness will not solve the problem. We are in a sad state because intelligence and politics do not coexist in our community.

We need leaders (regardless of party affiliation) who have qualities like unquestioned loyalty, of selflessness, of a well-trained mind, of recognized ability & mature experience.

Weird country

You'll notice he makes no mention whatsoever of WHY these students are protesting. Anti-Semitism is never okay, but neither is what's happening in Gaza...to innocent people!

Stop supporting Genocide

He should’ve announced that flights to Gaza are waiting on tarmacs. Go right now. I’ll chip in more tax dollars for the transportation

These students are not anti Semitic they are anti genocide

Good to see young intelligent people protesting against war criminals amid the destruction, ethnic cleansing and genocide being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza. Truly immoral and disturbing.

How much did AIPAC give you Johnson?

Thank you!

didnt omar rally also?????????????...................

Support Johnson good job sir

I AGREE with HIM !

The Speaker’s Role The Constitution’s Article 1, Section 2, spells out a very broad role for the Speaker: “The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.” The Founders’ vision appeared to be for the Speaker to serve as a parliamentarian and peace maker, more along the lines of the Speaker in the British House of Commons. In 1811, Henry Clay became the first dynamic national political figure to assume the role of Speaker of the House. Since Clay’s three terms in the House, various Speakers have used different leadership styles in their critical jobs as national party spokesperson and House institutional leader. Since Clay’s time, the role of Speaker of the House has become more complex as the size of government has grown. Today, the Speaker of the House serves in several major constitutional roles. The Speaker is the majority political party leader in the House, which on its own is one of the most powerful jobs in Washington. In addition, the Speaker controls the order of all institutional business on the House floor. The Speaker also votes on business as needed as a representative from a Congressional district. In these positions, the Speaker plays a key role as negotiator between the House and president and with the Senate, and as the point person for the House’s fundamental role in originating and passing legislation and controlling “the power of the purse” to tax and spend taxpayer money. The Speaker also is second in line (after the vice president) to the presidency under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, and the Speaker plays a role in the 25th Amendment’s process of dealing with the event of a presidential disability.

Johnson needs to CLOSE the FREAKIN BORDER !

This kind of Freedom, Human Rights, Democracy.

Wow....Way to go Mike Johnson....

What a joke
