Garcia on Speaker Johnson: There Is No Circumstance Where I’m Going to Support a Far-Right Extremist Republican for Speaker

RUSH EXCERPT:
GARCIA: "The only vote for speaker I’m going to make is for Hakeem Jeffries. There is no circumstance where I’m going to support a far right extremist Republican for speaker. Now I understand that you know, there might be other considerations made and Democrats might feel differently because of the vote and I understand that. The other day we are going to get behind our leader and I’m sure that Jeffries is thinking about this question. He is lined up to lead the entire house. That should be the speaker. It is time for Mike Johnson to hand over the gavel to Democrats. We are the ones that are actually solving the world’s problems. We are the ones defending democracy. We are the one saving the government from a shutdown. And so I think that we are leading. We are showing how responsible leadership looks like. And I think that Mike Johnson is going to have some issues in the weeks ahead."
