Republicans are privately—and publicly—considering dumping their own House speaker over the spending deal.

Less than three months into Mike Johnson’s tenure as speaker of the House, some House Republicans are already experiencing buyer’s remorse.

Texas Representative and Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy on Monday publicly raised the possibility of dumping Johnson as speaker.

      Let them keep showing their ass to the public, make it clear to the “centrists” who they are.

        But we the public may pay the price. A prolonged government shutdown won’t resolve itself positively. Having an angry, unreasonable Rep in charge could be a disaster for the country, and there’s no telling who’ll cave in first in such a horrible game of chicken. I’d bet the Dems and if so, it won’t be good for the country.
