If you take him at his word, Speaker Mike Johnson is the most poorly informed person in Washington DC.

If I allowed a young former beauty queen widow to full body "embrace" me w/her hands on my face & mine on her leather clad badonk a donk, my biggest worry wouldn't be whether or not my wife was Hindu or Catholic. I'd be hiding knives & making sure she believes Lorena Bobbitt got the death penalty.

There two possible reasons the Speaker would give this answer.
1. He has an utterly incompetent staff who doesn't brief him on current events.
2. He's a liar.
My money is on number 2.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.
You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Does anyone even update him on the news?
Vance: "Political violence, it's just a statistical fact that it's a bigger problem on the left. If you had, god forbid, somebody on the left who was assassinated, I'm sure you could find one person who would maybe celebrate it, but the fact that it became mainstream to celebrate Charlie's death..."

"Really serious"
Quite the party summary.
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Congress has completely failed to perform its constitutional role as a check on executive power and is instead actively protecting and enabling a corrupt executive.
That's OUR fault as the American people.
We may get another chance at it in 26.
IF we do, we'd better make it count.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders is doing this now in Senate District 26. She's refusing to allow a special election to fill the seat until after the fiscal session next year.
There is a pending lawsuit over her illegal attempt to block the district from representation.

Also like Texas. Abbott refused to hold a special election after Rep Sylvester Turner died March 5, leaving Congressional District 18 constituents without representation during the budget hearings etc. Taxation without representation until Nov 2025.

Leavitt isn’t your regular, garden variety liar. She’s a serial liar of the lowest order. The intentional disdain & malice with which she lies is a grave disservice to the press & Americans. She knowingly repeats falsehoods and misinformation at the behest of a man hellbent on destroying Democracy.

Now is the time to demonstrate steady, consistent commitment to 2 things.
1. Release the Epstein files.
2. Congress taking back tariff authority.
Stick to those two things, stand firm and you'll have the support of most Americans.
