‘Get a Grip’—Speaker Johnson Throws Cold Water on House Leftists’ Continued Attempts to Remove Trump from Ballot

The Left has used the Capitol incursion on Jan. 6, 2021, as a cudgel against President Trump for more than three years—it is all they have.

This from westernjournal.com.

With the polls showing Joe-Joe Biden is underwater in almost every statistic, the communist/globalist crime syndicate would have nothing to run on if it lost the ability to question the legitimacy of Trump—the Republican front-runner in this year’s presidential race—being on the ballot.

Even after the unanimous Supreme Court ruling on Monday proved that the horse is well and truly dead, the Left “cannot give up the notion that they can somehow resurrect their imaginary Pegasus so that it can carry them to victory in November.”

That ruling came after Colorado’s Supreme Court had decided that Trump could be kept off the state’s ballot because he violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution by inciting an “insurrection” on January 6.

The U.S. justices concluded that while states can enforce the “disqualification clause” against insurrectionists for state offices, only Congress has the power to do so for federal officeholders and candidates.

Not surprisingly, shortly after the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling, communist/globalist Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, a former member of the House Jan. 6 committee, told Axios:

[H]e planned to revise a bill he introduced last year with Florida communist/globalist Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz that could keep Trump off the ballot.

The proposed bill would officially declare the Jan. 6 incursion of the Capitol an “insurrection,” suggesting participants “engaged in insurrection” and therefore could be disqualified from holding federal office under the 14th Amendment.

Raskin told Axios:

I’m working on it — today.

But House Speaker Mike Johnson is putting an end to that fantasy once and for all.

A spokesman for Speaker Johnson told Fox News on Monday night that Johnson told his Leftist colleagues to “get a grip.”

The speaker’s representative added:

In this country, the American people decide

the next president—not the courts and not the Congress. 

The chances of getting this passed into law are practically zero, especially as Republicans hold the majority in the House.

Raskin himself admitted it to Axios, having said:

I don’t have a lot of hope that Speaker Johnson will allow us to bring enforcement legislation to the floor, but we have to try and do it.

According to a New York Times/Siena College poll published on Saturday:

Sixty-five percent of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction.

And, the unsaid part is, Raskin is part of the problem.

If they stop talking about Jan. 6, the Leftist crime syndicate will have to start facing and taking accountability for their own disastrous policies, and that’s not something they want to do.

It’s a lot easier to continue tilting at windmills, pointing fingers, blaming others, and striving to mislead their constituents.

Final thought: Damn Leftists—we can’t live with them and we can’t simply enough get rid of them.
