Rep. Victoria Spartz Fires Warning Shot at Weakling Mike Johnson If He Wants Her Vote for House Speaker – VIDEO

Earlier this month Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN), the conservative Republican lawmaker from Indiana who was born in Ukraine, announced that she was giving up her seat on congressional committees. She wanted to spend her time helping DOGE in order to ‘save our republic.’

Spartz deserves much praise for this. She sees the 2024 election as a mandate from the people in support of Donald Trump and she wants to deliver on that promise.

If only more Republicans saw things this way. Perhaps we wouldn’t be having a predictable battles on spending bills. And Congress would be able to act on President Trump’s agenda.

On Monday morning, Rep. Spartz fired a warning shot at the weak Republican Speaker.

The Indiana lawmaker wants Johnson to lay our his plan on how he will accomplish President Trump’s agenda… Or he can forget about her vote.

Rep. Victoria Spartz: I look at people’s track record. Unfortunately, we will not be able to deliver on President Trump’s agenda as the same happened in 2016, because it has to be done legislatively if we don’t have a Speaker with the courage, vision, and plan. If Speaker Johnson wants to be a speaker, then he needs to lay out that plan and commit to that plan, not like what he did last year.

He committed on the House floor to have a fiscal commission, so we have planned for that ceiling increase, which President Trump is right about. We have no plan. He was afraid to put it on the floor. He was afraid to put Biden on the floor. Except a post office bill, we could not accomplish anything. I can give him a chance, but I would like to hear from him how he’s going to be delivering this agenda and what plan he has, and he hasn’t been doing it.

Will Cain: Okay, you’re uncommitted. You say you can give him a chance, and you’ve laid out what you want to hear from him in some of your criticisms. I do need to ask you, though, about strategy. If you do not commit to voting for Speaker Johnson, which, by the way, one more defection from Speaker Johnson would cost him the speakership, what do you expect to happen? Do you have a name? Do you have somebody that you would like to be speaker?

Rep. Spartz: I actually want to hear what other people. Speaker Johnson is not able to govern and is not actually willing to commit to do his constitutional duty. I’m not asking him to do anything beyond what constitution ask. We have a Titanic on the crash course with the iceberg. Our country, fiscally, is going to have a disaster. This is a fault of Congress. This is our constitutional duty. If he’s not willing to do it, then he’s not worthy to be a speaker. We can any American to be a speaker, and I’m willing to hear other people, too. But if Speaker Johnson, I’ll say it again. If he wants to be a speaker, he needs to commit publicly how he’s going to be fulfilling his constitutional duties. I’m not asking him go beyond what he has to do by constitution and what structures we need to put in place to get out of this mess.
