Democrats in the US House of Representatives will be inclined not to allow far-right Republicans to remove Mike Johnson from the post of House Speaker.

That’s according to Rep. Jared Moskovitz, who spoke in an interview with MSNBC on Sunday, Ukrinform reports.

According to him, the Democrats will not support Mike Johnson's resignation if a far-right winger Marjorie Taylor Greene puts the motion to the floor.

"Obviously we’ll wait for our Leader (Hakeem, - ed.) Jeffries to figure out that solution,” Moskowitz said," Moskowitz said. According to him, the Democrats will not allow someone who “literally would let the world burn” with her “isolationist foreign policy”, who has talked about “states seceding from the union” to remove the Speaker.

"I’m not going to let her do that," he continued. “We’re not going to let her take out the Speaker.”
