Of course, U.S. House Speaker isn't a friend.
On Tuesday, he ejected Representative Al Green (D-TX) from the House chamber for having the utter audacity to disagree with Cheeto.
Today, the Republicans in the House censured (reprimanded) Green.
House Democrats didn't react well.
From ABC News -
Screaming match breaks out in House after vote to censure Democrat Al Green
The House voted on Thursday to censure Democrat Al Green over his outburst at President Donald Trump's speech to Congress on Tuesday night.
The Republican-led effort passed 224-198 with two members voting present, one of them being Green. Ten Democrats voted to censure Green

"Mr. Speaker and still I rise," Green said, "and still I rise a proud, liberated Democrat, unbought, unbossed and unafraid."
Green continued to criticize Trump's agenda and animatedly explained why he and other Democrats sang in the well, calling it an "act of incivility."
"We have to not allow [Trump's] incivility, his requirement of fealty, to prevent us from taking the necessary actions to protect liberty and justice for all, to protect government of the people, by the people, for the people ... We have to do what is necessary. I believe we have to engage in a level of positive, righteous incivility.

Moments before the vote, Johnson had told ABC News he took "no pleasure in making history like this" and hoped Green would "acknowledge his mistake."
From Bluesky, Green's response -
Not sure if Green's response will appease Johnson.
One thing I'm sure of - while Arizona has five Cs, Johnson has just four.
Arizona Cs, from the website of the Arizona State Library -
Arizona's Five C's are: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus and Climate.
Johnson's Cs, from me -
He was installed as Speaker of the House, not as Cheeto's Chief Collaborator in Congress.
Even though he behaves like one, not a leader of a co-equal branch of government.
