Forget the ticker-tape parade. Mike Johnson is no hero.

[reACTIONary]

Foreign policy commentators and proponents of aid to Ukraine spent days gushing over House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for finally bringing to the floor a bill for aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. Give him credit! He came around! What courage! That praise ignored the immense damage that Johnson and MAGA House Republican pro-Russian propagandists inflicted on America’s beleaguered Ukrainian allies.

Rep. McGovern: Speaker Johnson, you don't get an award for simply doing your job. President Biden told us months ago that Ukraine needed us. What did House Republican do? Nothing. MAGA extremism has gotten you nothing. Democrats have been the ones to stand up

When the vote on Ukraine aid finally came, it was overwhelming, 311-112. That raised the question: Why in the world did such a popular measure take so long? It could have been done long ago, when President Biden requested the aid in October, had Johnson simply ignored the histrionics from pro-Putin House members who take their cues from Donald Trump.

Ukraine $$$.

2. "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons." Churchill

I am glad that the speaker pushed this through, but it doesn't mean that he has turned in his pitchfork.

3. He finally allowed politically suicidal legislation to the House floor.

Kind of like Liz Cheney, I don’t agree with either of them on most things, but can give them some credit when they do the right thing.

4. He finally did his job for this country and not for his party. Not a hero.
