Mike Johnson: “I regard myself as a wartime Speaker”
Twitter/X ^ | April 17 | Rep. Massie

“I regard myself as a wartime Speaker.”

Get a grip; we are not at war. You can’t use that as an excuse to justify passage of warrantless spying, a bloated omnibus, or $100 billion in foreign aid.

Well he should, because we are being invaded.

The guy is delusional. We have no active war front going on - except the American people against the clowns in Washington.

I didn’t think it was possible to be worse than Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy.

Johnson is worse than all 3 combined.

At war with his constituents, party members and the American people.

The Republican is establishment is NOT STUPID. IT IS CORRUPT. It couldn't give a hoot about representing its base.

That needs to change or the Republican party needs to die and be replaced by a party that will represent its constituents. That might be the only chance of saving the country.

Maybe because Trump doesn’t consider a messy fight for the Speakership a good look seven months before a national election.

Either it’s wartime and the border is to be defended by the military while those aiding and abetting the invaders are arrested for aiding the invaders, or Mike Johnson is referring to being a wartime speaker for a foreign country.

Exactly, they haven’t come out and directly stated they’re at war with the American people.

Traitor Johnson is a poor example of a stand-up comedian.

A refreshingly frank admission that the Gubermint is at war with the Citizenry.

You win FR for today. That's exactly what these funded wars are proxies for.

Trump has absolutely nothing to do with disgusting weasel's sellout on FISA, the border and Ukraine war funding.

That you're trying to link him to Johnson makes you as disgusting a POS as Johnson.

Are you keeping up with the news? At last report - Trump has ENDORSED Mike Johnson

Yeah? Trump just finished a messy fight for the leadership of the RNC.

No doubt it will be wartime for us if we keep pumping billions more to Zelensky.

Johnson almost makes me long for Kevin McCarty. He was a fraud.

What are you mumbling about now? You missed Trump and Johnson's JOINT news conference a couple of days ago, where Trump gave Johnson his FULL support? Maybe you did. More likely, you've just tried to block any memory of it out. Well too bad, everyone else remembers.
