Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had kind words for far-left CNN host Jake Tapper Wednesday after the cameras appeared to turn dark.
“You’re always fair,” a mic’d up Johnson said during an exchange heard by Breitbart News moments after Johnson’s long appearance on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper.
Johnson joined Tapper remotely from outside the House floor in the Capitol as a handful of reporters looked on. He remarked during the interview that he had known Tapper, a proven leftwing partisan known for broadcasting false claims, for a long time.
Johnson used his CNN appearance to tout his foreign aid package – endorsed Wednesday by President Joe Biden – which would send tens of billions in American taxpayer aid to Ukraine. Since a March flip-flop, Johnson has made funding Ukraine a priority after previously opposing the funding.
The embattled Speaker made a similar high-profile reversal on the Foreign Service Intelligence Act, supporting a FISA extension that passed earlier in April.

I bet Jake is “Tapping” Johnson…Lindsey Graham style.
Really. Whose idea was this guy? Another Paul Ryan.
As bad as Johnson is, vacating the chair would be a disastrous mistake.
If the chair is vacated, there are 4 "Republicans" ready to resign their seats, giving the Democrats a majority, and we end up with Speaker Jefferies.
So you have to ask yourself, do you really want to have a Democrat House, a Democrat Senate, and a Democrat President, just because you're pi$$ed off at Johnson?
If the Dems get control of the house now, they'll pass a bill naming anyone involved in an "insurrection" ineligible for the Presidency, and name Trump as an insurrectionist. It will pass the Democrat controlled Senate, and be signed by FJB, and *poof* Trump is off the ballot.
So think VERY CAREFULLY about vacating the chair at this moment in time.
1 seat margin —-does it matter when they’re all (of)the same party giving us the illusion of choice?
Do you honestly believe Republicans “being in charge” would actually stop this from happening? About the only thing that’s changed are the endless Trump impeachments and the replaced it with going after Hunter Biden. I’m tired of these Panzy azz traitors that hate us and we keep voting for them. Let it all crash and burn, it’s headed there anyway.
Then educate us what the difference is between the GOP and the RATS.
We’d all like to know.
Pelosi knew how to keep her small majority together when she was Speaker.
Yep Yep Yep Yep
The evangullibles said Johnson was A-OK.
Mike Johnson, House Democrat party leader.
There is no way we will ever have a conservative party in control of the House or Senate in the current United States of America. The deep state has their tendrils everywhere. It is either blackmail, extortion, or bribery and very few (probably less than six) are exempt from being controlled by one of those things.
McCarthy was forced out for this jerk?!!
Mike Johnson is Democrat plant.
Or maybe Johnson is just flattering him. Relax everyone, sheesh.
Johnson was in the Republican Leadership.
I don’t know why people expected any different.
Johnson is a A-hole.
This Mike Johnson guy is so funny....
Clown.
CLEARLY, the Deep State finally dug up enough blackmail material to neuter Mike Johnson ...
Okay Mike, now you’ve really exposed yourself. Not only is Tapper completely unfair, he’s also stupid as hell. And to think I’ve been trying to give you the benefit of a doubt.
Where is his fan club?
