    “You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours in the last few days and I did not get the briefing on that. I will this morning,” he added.

    Not 22 hours in one day, but 22 hours in a few days. Which means at least 3 days, which means less than 8 hours a day. Mike Johnson’s concept of extreme hard work is less than the least demanding full-time job.

      He can condescend because he knows he can blatantly lie to the world and face no consequences for it. It is the arrogance of power.

    “Follow up question, Mr. Speaker! Regarding that last half-a-dozen or so ICE agents that shot and killed people in various states of the union who didn’t have body cams. Does there need to be accountability? Surely you’ve heard about at least one of those killings by now?”

      Something along the lines of: “I’ll need to look into the specifics of each of those before I can provide an answer“

    I had heard Johnson was dead along with Mitch and Lindsey.

    Do his eyes look different than normal? Its suspicious that he doesnt know a damned thing thats going on in the US. Isnt representing people his whole effing job? I question his legitimacy. As the real Mike Johnson. The real Mike Johnson was also a slimey douche but he at least seemed to understand what was going on day by day.

    Thats just a guy wearing glasses and a cheap suit. Look at the lady next to him. She doesnt beleive thats Mike Johnson either.

    Follow up: What did he spend 22 hours working on that he thought was more pressing than federal agents killing innocent civilians?

    The press should be asking, what the hell was he working on during that time, if he’s so locked in that he’s not paying attention to anything? He’s been making his primary job this year calling recess for the House.

    *From what I saw, I guess Spkr. Johnson is trying to herd the MAGA cats to pass the economically regressive agenda to the Senate before August.

      Also, he does not need to be aware of the event to answer the question. It shouldn’t be hard to answer…
