Fallon: We’ve Pledged to Vote for Speaker Johnson and if We Don’t, We Can’t Get Sworn in to Certify the Election on Jan. 6
RUSH EXCERPT:
FALLON: "Well, first, I think Mike Johnson’s the most conservative member, conservative speaker we’ve ever had. And he’s got a historically narrow margin, and he’s got one of the toughest jobs if not the toughest job in the country. Republicans aren’t — we’re not cheap. We don’t — sheep. It’s like herding cats, but not little house cats, like big lions on the serengeti. So Mike’s got a difficult job. But he’s done a great job over the last 15 minutes consider — months considering the situation. Can you imagine John Boehner or Paul Ryan going to a ufc fight with Donald Trump? There’s no way that would happen. We’ve already had the nominations process within our Republican conference, Cheryl. And Mike was selected and elected, if you will, unanimously. There was no other candidate. And I believe the Republican conference, we’re people of our word. So we should all — we’ve all already pledged to go and vote for Mike on the house floor, and I think we should do that was if we don’t, we can’t get sworn in, and if we’re not sworn in, we cannot certify the presidential election on January 6th. I don’t want Joe Biden to be in office one second longer than constitutionally necessary. So I want to get this done. Mike’s the person. He’s the right man, right place, right job at the right time, quite frankly. And let’s move forward and, you know what? Fulfill the promises that we’ve made to the American people on the campaign trail this past November."
