“ That Johnson is “ripe for influence buying,” according to the left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics”

All the others have already been bought

Every time the Left attacks him, I end up liking him better. When he was first elected, I was posting this:

I'll admit to not knowing much about the guy. Fortunately, the Left did our homework for us. After seeing this, I am quite encouraged! Not to mention amused by the Leftist freak out.

I, of course, was immediately encouraged.

“The Daily Beast used Johnson’s situation to make three attacks: That Johnson is bad with money . . .”

Apparently we need somebody who is good with money, like Pelosi, who has a net worth of at least $125 million (that we know of), while driving the country into a debt of $31.5 trillion.

I never imagined that I would be more “wealthy” than the Speaker of the House. ;-)

Mike Johnson has been in congress for 7 years. This is ample time to get rich if you are corrupt. Mike Johnson is not rich, thus Mike Johnson is not corrupt.

Matt Gaetz: “The Daily Beast is furious that
<><>Speaker Johnson isn’t rich, or corrupt.
<><>He’s not rich from being corrupt.
<><>He doesn’t have shady business deals.
<><>He doesn’t trade stocks w/ inside congressional info.”

It reminds me of when Howard Stern said he wanted Hillary Clinton, because she’s a career politician.

IF he has $5000 in the bank-—he has about $4950 more than the rest of us.

Liberals are sad because Johnson is not corrupt.

The left sees these as negatives, but I see them as a man not corrupted or bought.

That’s what panics the left not corrupted or bought may start a trend and that’s bad news after all the years the scamming they got away with.

Same reason they hate Trump not corrupted or bought.

Hmmm. Sounds like Harry Truman and we all know what a grifter he was. /s sort of.

Never mind that congress has given themselves a $34 a year unaccountable expense account to "cope with rising costs".

Meanwhile, we mere mortals "cope" with a 20% or more increase in living costs with 3 to 4% raises or none at all.

Must be great to be a king.

Thanks for the acknowledgement, glad you found it useful. It’s still recent enough, and I doubt most knew much about him.

They would know, wouldn't they?

Based on personal experience.

Jesus himself wouldn't be good enough for the left. They'd fabricate stuff up to frame Him just as the pharisees of old did.

Hypocrites never change.
