Donald Trump had hinted he didn’t want flags at half-staff on his inauguration day. Johnson’s granted his wish, at least for the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson sent shockwaves around Capitol Hill when he decided to oust Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio — a staunch NATO supporter who has aggressively pushed for U.S. aid to Ukraine — as chair of the House Intelligence Committee and replace him with Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., a conservative who voted against the most recent Ukraine aid package.
Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) decision to shake up leadership on the House Intelligence Committee sent shockwaves throughout the panel and beyond, fueling concerns on both sides of the aisle
Trump has complained about the flags being at half-staff "for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President."
Representative Rick Crawford will be the next House Intelligence Committee chair, following his colleague Mike Turner’s unceremonious removal by Speaker Mike Johnson Wednesday.
Norman had just voted against Mike Johnson when Nancy Mace handed him the phone and said that Trump wanted to speak with him.
The House speaker said President Joe Biden will be remembered for a "wide-open border" and "the skyrocketing cost of living."
House Speaker Mike Johnson often says he sees himself as the quarterback and President-elect Donald Trump as the coach calling plays on their legislative priorities.
