House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) reacted with me-against-the-world hype to reports that fellow bigwigs ganged up on him in a meeting with President Joe Biden.(Watch the video below.)
Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Johnson Wednesday if articles were accurate that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) pressed him hard on issues that included funding forUkraine’s flagging war effort.
“Well, their reports are pretty accurate. They said that I was on an island by myself, and it was me versus everyone else in the room,” Johnson said, referring to a Politico story.
“What the liberal media doesn’t understand, Sean, is that if you’re here in Washington and you’re described as a leader that’s on an island by themselves, it probably means you’re standing with the American people,” he continued. “And that’s what I did yesterday, I reminded the president, and all involved that the No. 1 issue in America is that open border. The catastrophe that we have that President Biden himself designed, that he caused and created, and I told him, just as I have many times before, he must address it with his executive authority. We can’t wait any longer.”

“He’s refusing to take up the Schumer/McConnell bill that codifies 5,000 illegals per day, oh, and billions of dollars to Ukraine.
That’s why they’re pushing him so hard. He’s not caving like McCarthy/Boehner/Frist/Lott would.”
