Exclusive — Speaker Mike Johnson: Biden Speech Blaming Trump, ‘MAGA Republicans’ for Border Was ‘Offensive
Breitbart ^ | 02/07/2024 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 02/07/2024 12:29:22 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told Breitbart News exclusively that Democrat President Joe Biden’s speech on Tuesday, in which he blamed former President Donald Trump and “MAGA Republicans” for the border crisis Biden created, was “offensive.”

“It was offensive,” Johnson said in a Wednesday afternoon phone interview when asked to react to Biden’s address. “I don’t think anyone is buying it. Everyone understands this all changed dramatically when he walked into the White House. Now, we’ve shown, and we continue to show the American people step-by-step, how he and Mayorkas orchestrated this. There is a reason why only 18 percent of Americans in the latest polls approve of the administration’s handling of the border. His overall approval rating is only 37 percent in the last poll I saw. That means they know he has to do something to address the border, and he won’t. The idea that he could blame Republicans for the catastrophe they created is laughable. It’s time for him to take ownership.”

“It’s time for him (FJB) to take ownership.”

The only thing Joe has ever taken ownership of in his life is real estate and other people’s money. He is the quintessence of DC insider.

Failing to impeach Mayorkas was also offensive.

biden is, gone. what is in the minds of those who vote for him?
And Johnson is young, is that why he has no fight? I say an older man has more guts and fight.. Trump. Johnson can be calm and collected... just show there is a “no and no further” in him.

Only huge losers blame others for what they’ve caused. Since they have zero accomplishments and everything’s in shambles all they have is to blame someone else.

This is a disgusting disgrace of a president and way beneath the office.

The real gunfight IMHO was the vote to impeach Mayorkas, and it seems to me the Republicans brought guns not marshmallows. The only problem was that three of them fought for the enemy side.

Those three are the ones who need to be gotten rid of.

Meaning you actually say this as one who has often attacked Prot. faith (not just evangelical Johnson) as a cadre of Catholics who chime on such, while insolently claiming: "No practicing Catholic would ever bash another religion" in supporting censoring of reproof of evangelicals.

Spare us the duplicity.

You place one quote her where I bashed another faith or take back your accusation
