Rep. Nancy Mace has ripped Speaker Mike Johnson for the way he has run the House of Representatives in a New York Times op-ed, the latest sign of discontent among Republicans with the speaker.

Mace, a former moderate who moved hard to the right who is now running for governor, criticized Johnson and House leadership for closing the lawmaking process and concentrating it among themselves.

“Would opening up the floor lead to more conservative bills passing or more bipartisan ones? The honest answer is: It would do both,” she wrote.

“Some Republican priorities would finally get a vote. So, too, would common-sense bipartisan measures. The point is to do more and let voters see where their representatives stand. What we have now is the worst of all worlds: little accountability, transparency and results.”

    Funny, I didn’t think it could really get worse than Pelosi until Johnson showed up.

      Hastert was a child molester. Boehner and Ryan were nothing to get excited about, either.

      And then there is Newt, who bears responsibility for so much that is awful about our political situation these days.
