The Real Story Behind Mike Turner's Firing

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "But Turner had taken steps to firm up his relationship with Trump -- and the incoming president had taken note.
30% : Put another way, either Trump insiders really did give a quiet nudge for Turner's dismissal or -- as many Republicans are speculating right now -- Johnson used "concerns at Mar-a-Lago" to give himself cover for a difficult decision.
10% : Needless to say, such a move would not go over well with the president-elect, and after Turner disclosed the comment, Johnson quickly launched into clean-up mode and told reporters the decision was his alone and "not about Donald Trump.
2% : It makes sense that Trump might want him out: While Turner vocally defended Trump during his 2019 impeachment, he's also been critical on occasion -- saying Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents was "of grave concern," for instance, and blasting Trump's unfounded allegations about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, in his district.
