Congressman Alex X. Mooney voted against a Motion to Table debate on an effort to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson, asserting that such a significant action warranted a comprehensive debate. He further indicated his intention to vote against the speaker's removal if the matter was brought to the House floor.
"Something as serious as removing another Speaker of the House deserves a full debate and an up-or-down vote right away," said Mooney. "With House Republicans possessing such a narrow majority, now is not the time to freeze the operating status of the House of Representatives once again."
Mooney expressed his belief that unity among Republicans is essential in curbing Biden's policies.
"I do not support removing the Speaker of the House at this time," Mooney stated. "I believe my Republican colleagues should be united in defeating the radical Biden agenda. We must stand up to secure our border, defund the weaponization of our government, and hold the Biden administration accountable."
