House Speaker Mike Johnson got into a testy exchange with CNN’s Jake Tapper over recent rhetoric from former President Donald Trump about the “enemy from within” as well as X-rated insinuations about golfer Arnold Palmer.

Reacting to Trump’s tale about Palmer’s manhood while speaking at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Johnson (R-La.) countered that what matters to voters is their economic situation.

“Everywhere I go, Jake, everybody has the same concerns,” Johnson, speaking from a campaign stop in Michigan ,told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday. “They’re fed up and they’re fired up about the cost of living that’s unaffordable now and the rising crime rates everywhere.”

Anything NOT to discuss the economy, inflation, illegal immigration, deficit spending, national debt, involvement in foreign entanglements, or anything else the current administration has fouled up!

Tapper then said, “If a Democratic presidential candidate said that you and your wife were evil and that the military should be used against you, I would say that’s disgusting.”

Meanwhile The Atlantic directly compares Trump to Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.

Trump is genuine. That’s the takeaway from his speech last night. It may have gone a little over the top for some, but at least they know he speaks his mind. He doesn’t try to pretend he’s something he isn’t. That matters far more to most people than making an off-color remark. When he says he’s going to cut taxes, end the war in Ukraine, etc. people believe him.

Every time I go to buy anything, it costs 50 percent more than when Trump was Pres, and I’m surrounded by illegal aliens in line who speak no English.

The MSM knows perfectly well who “enemy from within” is.

Harris is finished as a viable candidate. The election will hinge on hate Trump vs Trump MAGA. BTW Trump is running an incredible,effective and efficient campaign.

Kamala Harris has this in common with Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini:

None of them ever worked at McDonald's.

Good job to the Donald. He has learned his lessons from his past campaigns.

He has made a couple of mistakes. No biggie.

Trump's appearance at The National Association of Black Journalists was a disaster. But good thing that it was during the summer. And that was before Barry's arrogance demanding Black males to vote for Kamala.

Yes. The Walmart price is now what the convenience store price used to be, and the convenience store price is the same as the Canadian convenience store price used to be.

Actually, Jake, the dem candidate’s surrogates ate constantly saying that Trump is evil and he must be eliminated, and you do NOT say it’s disgusting, as far as I can remember.

And Trump said nothing x rated.

These people are despicable.
