Donald Trump’s agenda faces a threat from within the Republican Party.
One member of the Republican establishment has gone rogue.
And a RINO sellout made this scary threat of revenge to ruin Donald Trump’s Presidency.
House Intelligence Committee chairman replaced at the last minute
RINO Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) made a major change in leadership on one of the most important committees in the House.
He swapped out RINO former House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) as chair at the last minute.
Turner was the Deep State’s favorite Republican who supported unconstitutional surveillance against American citizens by the intelligence agencies and funneling more money into the war in Ukraine.
He spent his career opposing any check on the power of the intelligence agencies.
Turner opposed any reforms to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) which allows intelligence agencies to spy on American citizens without a warrant.
Representative Rick Crawford (R-AK) was named as the new chair of the Intelligence Committee.
Crawford has a better relationship with the Republican caucus and is thought to be more MAGA-friendly than Turner.
It was assumed that Turner’s ouster so close to the start of the Trump administration was the result of a directive from Mar-a-Lago.
But Johnson denied that Trump had any role in the decision.
“This is not a President Trump decision. This is a House decision, and this is no slight whatsoever to our outgoing chairman. He did a great job,” Johnson said. “The intelligence community and everything related to (the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence), it needs a fresh start. And that’s what this is about. Nothing else.”
Ousted House Intelligence Committee chairman threatens revenge
Turner represents the Dayton, Ohio area in the House and used his positions on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees to steer projects and money to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in his district – the largest single-site employer in Ohio.
Allies of Turner are warning that he could vote against the entire Republican agenda this year in revenge for losing his chairmanship.
“Mike Turner is not going to go gently into that good night,” a House Republican aide who didn’t like Turner told Politico. “It is frustrating when we have a two-seat majority, one-seat majority, but you’re angering and embarrassing a very volatile member for what appears to be minimal gain.”
Fox News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram reported that Turner was ready to throw sand in the gears of House Republicans after his ouster.
“Turner allies fumed privately, one telling Fox that Johnson treated Turner so badly that he’s, quote, never going to vote for another blanking thing around here again,” Pegram said.
One House Republican didn’t mince words about Turner.
“Mike’s never going to vote for another f***ing thing around here again,” an anonymous House Republican stated. “He’s mad.”
NBC News’ Scott Wong reported that Turner could vote against every Republican bill this session.
“I think Turner will burn the House down. He will be a no-vote on everything. I mean, he just got totally f***ed,” another anonymous House Republican said.
House Republicans have a razor-thin majority and don’t have many votes to spare on party-line votes.
One angry RINO could plunge the House into chaos if he follows through with his rumored revenge.
