Mike Johnson, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, on Tuesday declined to condemn Republican lawmakers who recently made Islamophobic comments, saying only that he had spoken to them about their “tone”.

Democrats and groups advocating religious tolerance have decried the statements from congressmen Andy Ogles of Tennessee and Randy Fine of Florida, with the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, calling on Johnson to discipline the latter.

But the Republican speaker showed little interest in doing so when he was asked about the issue at a press conference during the House GOP’s retreat in Doral, Florida.

    I think shitting on them is great but honestly who in the fuck still needs to hear “GOP are racist islamaphobic assholes” when every single Republican senator an 212 Republican house members voted against limiting Trump’s assault on Iran to only operations approved by congress? When 50 out of 53 senators and VP signed off on putting Pete “Death or Exodus” Hegseth in charge of defence/war?

    At this point we’re basically advertising their good points to the 70 million racist piece of shit assholes in the USA.
