Speaker Mike Johnson, top Republicans rip Trump guilty verdict as political ploy: ‘Shameful day’
Breitbart ^ | 05/30/2024 | forLia Eustachewich

Posted on 05/30/2024 5:40:16 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Speaker Mike Johnson joined other top congressional Republicans in blasting former President Donald Trump’s historic felony conviction Thursday as “a purely political exercise” and “weaponization of our justice system” by President Biden.

“Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon,” Johnson (R-La.) railed minutes after a Manhattan jury announced it found the Republican presidential candidate guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial.

Impeachment would go nowhere, But they should start saying Biden is a pedophile who molested his daughter in every speech. List his crimes and similar democrat crimes in the Congressional Record. The answer to every question askex by the press should be “The shitocrats are the true threat to democracy, Fascist who have weaponized the government to persecute political opposition. Why aren’t you concerned about that?”

Every speech and every answer should start with this.

More should happen but start here.

Not a chance. They can’t even do something as benign as censuring the Hamas lovers in congress.

Great idea. Everytime they call Trump a convicted felon, call joe a pedo. That just might shut them up, but it takes guts and Rs are severely lacking.

Shut it “Speaker”. You could have defunded this or at least put pressure on the administration no less than 3 times. Your words are hollow.

The Democrats payed no price for impeaching Trump, no price for inviting Trump and will probably pay no price for imprisoning Trump. They’ll keep taking the next step until they pay a price. If they kill him without paying a price...what will come next?

Could have voted out the speaker. He could have voted to shut down the government. As far as Im concerned, if you’re not taking ANY flack you’re useless. That’s why right now I have respect for MTG. She’s fighting like ahe actually believes this crap is a threat. Everyone else is funding it with their votes and denouncing it with their lips. They want the government to stay open, drop the charges and the harassment of the Republican nominee. You want money for Ukraine, drop thr harassment. Their only power is funding it. They’re all implicated in the destruction of the Republic

Talk is cheap, Mike.

Exactly. What are Mike Johnson and these "top Republicans" going to do about it? We know what Mike DeWine is going to do - he's going to hold a special session to make sure Biden gets on the Ohio ballot.

Talk has never mattered.

What have you done to stop the criminal behavior of the deep state?

You more than fund every three-letter agency in spite of their illegal activity.

You do not represent the people. You should resign.
