The news was made on Thursday at the House Republican retreat, with Speaker Mike Johnson telling reporters that bills to further fund both Ukraine’s defence and Israel’s military effort against Hamas would be brought up separately in the coming weeks.
One member of his caucus, Marjorie Taylor Greene, as recently as January said that she would trigger a vote on a motion to remove Mr Johnson from his position as speaker if he were to put a bill to fund Ukraine’s military on the House floor.
“We can’t fund Ukraine,” she told NBC News, adding that it was “an absolute no-go … a reason to vacate.”
I believe there are Ds who said that, but this is over the spending bill. Johnson hasn’t allowed a Ukraine vote. Can confirm outrage among the far right
