The move comes amid dissatisfaction with Johnson's handling of foreign aid bills and reliance on Democrats to advance legislation. Johnson has faced pressure from conservative lawmakers, with some expressing frustration and even considering supporting efforts to remove him. Despite lobbying from members to raise the threshold required to trigger the procedure to oust the speaker, Johnson has stated that he will not change the procedure for removing him from the speakership.

Trump and GOP Rep. Gosar's Dangerous Rhetoric Targets Joint Chiefs Boss Mark Milley

Former President Donald Trump and Republican Rep. Paul Gosar suggested that outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley deserves to be executed, with Trump accusing Milley of treason for allegedly making phone calls to Chinese counterparts without his knowledge. Milley had previously testified that he reassured Chinese officials that Trump had no plans to attack China. Gosar also accused Milley of coordinating with Nancy Pelosi to undermine Trump and delaying National Guard assistance during the January 6 Capitol riot. Milley's spokesperson did not immediately respond to the comments.

GOP Representative Gosar Faces Backlash for Suggesting Milley's Execution Over Jan. 6 Response

Republican Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona suggested that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley should be "hung" for his response to the January 6th Capitol riots. Gosar claimed that Milley, whom he referred to as a "homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist," delayed the deployment of the National Guard during the attacks and accused him of coordinating with Nancy Pelosi to undermine former President Trump. Former President Trump also criticized Milley for allegedly going behind his back to communicate with Chinese counterparts. Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling condemned the violent rhetoric from Gosar and Trump, calling it "disgusting." This is not the first time Gosar has made violent suggestions towards U.S. officials.
