Speaker Mike Johnson painted a picture that doesn’t exist when he described House Republicans and their chances for the upcoming November elections. His Congress has been the most ineffective Congress in recent history, but that didn’t stop him from lying about it.
Jebus Johnson was interviewed by Tony Perkins, a homophobic Christian nationalist of the worst kind.
JOHNSON: The American people can trust House Republicans, the Republican Party, to run this government.
And we keep delivering.
We’re going to do that, run all the way through the tape towards the end of the year, to the end of the year.
And I believe for this reason, we’re going to win the midterms.
I’m very bullish about the outcome.
And we talk about it all the time.
With each passing day, I’m more confident, Tony.
Is Johnson only speaking to Trump staffers? All credible polls as well as the prediction markets have Johnson losing badly in the midterms.
Perkins then brought up the power of prayer, as if it will save a corrupt, and malignant Republican-led Congress that refuses to do its job. The only oversight they are committed to is prosecuting and attacking Trump’s rivals.
PERKINS: You, as you repeatedly say, you exceed the expectations of the pundits.
They still don’t understand the power of prayer.
JOHNSON: That’s right. And look, I’ve been openly saying this. I told a big gaggle of Hill Press reporters yesterday at an event.
