Team, after 22 painstaking days, Republicans finally chose a House Speaker: MAGA Rep. Mike Johnson, who led the House effort to overturn the 2020 election results, also happens to have been a fierce opponent of my efforts to investigate and impeach Donald Trump.
Tom Emmer voted to certify the 2020 election result. Johnson voted to overturn it. That’s why Emmer failed and Johnson became Speaker — the Big Lie was the litmus test, and every single MAGA Republican got behind him.
When a reporter asked Johnson about leading the effort to overturn the 2020 election, Republicans at his back drowned out the question with boos and told the reporter to “shut up.” But our democracy cannot afford for us to “shut up” or stay silent in the face of another Big Lie advocate taking control of a chamber of Congress.
Folks, this is another pivotal moment for the future of our democracy. I’m personally asking you to split $20 to help Blue Amp Action and my campaign respond to an election denier becoming House Speaker. Please chip in. [[link removed]]

Mike Johnson is MAGA extremism all dressed up in a suit and tie.
As two senior members of the Judiciary Committee, Johnson and I have fought over a host of key issues from guns to immigration to his penchant for deep state conspiracy theories. He’s anti-reproductive freedom. Anti same-sex marriage. And supports the gutting of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That’s just for starters.
But honestly, that’s most Republicans these days. Johnson is different because he was the lead architect behind House Republican efforts to overturn the 2020 election and still pushes out the Big Lie to this very day.
But our run-ins long predate our service together on the Judiciary Committee, and go back to the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
Mike Johnson served on Trump’s defense team during the first Senate impeachment trial. While I presented facts and evidence about Trump’s wrongdoings, Mike Johnson proudly parroted MAGA talking points to defend Trump.

And just like Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and so many others, I’ve earned Mike Johnson’s vehement opposition and attacks. And I’m honored by it.
Speaker Mike Johnson is the most extreme House Speaker in the history of our country, and as a solid ally of Donald Trump we can count on him to join the corrupt former president in doing all he can to try to block me from making it to the Senate. I need you with me today to help me stand up to his MAGA extremism. Please split a donation between Blue Amp Action and my campaign, if you can. [[link removed]]

If this is the best Speaker that the Republican conference can offer, then it’s our duty to ensure this is the last one they ever have a chance to elect.
Thank you,

About BlueAmp Action:
We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.
We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.
And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.
When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.
Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.
So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.
Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
