When your Speaker thinks women’s brains are spaghetti, don’t be surprised when they’re the ones who finally flip the table.
Republican women rebelling against Speaker Mike Johnson is rich, given he and his wife claim men’s brains are tidy “waffles” while women’s are messy “spaghetti.” Johnson’s embrace of rigid gender roles helps explain why there’s only one woman in GOP House leadership — and why those same women are now leading a revolt. After months of dysfunction, little legislative output, and backlash over the Epstein transparency vote, they’re openly calling Johnson weak or dishonest. With many eyeing the exits, candor comes cheap — and their on-the-record criticism suggests they believe Johnson is already a dead man walking.
