Representative Michael McCaul , the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that House Speaker Mike Johnson was a “profile in courage” for bringing foreign aid bills to the House floor.
Host Jonathan Karl asked, “On all of these bills, why did it have to be so difficult? Why did it take months to happen?” McCaul said, “Well, I think, you know, the motion to vacate McCarthy, which is a rarely used tool, only twice in the history of Congress, right? And the threat of the motion to vacate kept this from coming to the floor in a timely basis. I have to say, watching your piece, I am so proud of the Speaker Mike Johnson. He went through a transformation. At the end of the day, the profile in courage is putting the nation above yourself, and that’s when he did.
Karl said, “He was the one guy that could either make it happen or not happen. Is his job now in jeopardy?”He added, “I think the stock in Mike Johnson’s stock has gone way up. I think the respect for him has gone way up because he did the right thing irrespective of his job. That garnered a lot of respect, and also from the Democrat side.”Biden, Blinken Endanger U.S.
