Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is becoming more of a disappointment every day.
Last week the Louisiana congressman gave the FBI approval to spy on Americans without a warrant. Johnson was the deciding vote. Johnson also gave Democrats EVERY say they asked for on the spending bill to bankrupt the country and raise historic inflation.
And on Monday, Johnson said he was ready to finance the ill-fated war in Ukraine.
Johnson is unable to counter the One Party cabal, so he has joined them – once again.
Reporter: What is the plan of the Republicans who say they hear the voters and have a real problem with any funding for Ukraine. What if that bill passed the Democrats? How do you approach this?
Speaker Mike Johnson: Well, listen, the piece on Ukraine is clearly on the Republican side, the most controversial one, I think, the one that has the greatest difference of opinion. I think there’s this idea that lethal aid is different from humanitarian aid. If you convert some of this financial assistance into a loan, it makes a lot of sense for many people. But I think the American people deserve to be told why it’s in America’s interest to assist here.
It is important to underline that 68% of this package is made up of the supply of our own ammunition, our own weapons. Those are American jobs building enhanced weapons and ammunition here. Many of these things need to be explained. They must be analyzed independently. I think we’ll probably do that here with this legislation and make it clear to citizens what exactly they’re voting for and why. I think it’s really important to the American people.
Reporter: Aside from the separate bills, how does this legislation differ from what the Senate has already passed?
President Johnson: Well, the text below will contain some of our innovations regarding accountability for funding and some of these other measures. We talked a lot about the concept of lending and for Ukraine, certainly that piece, it will be part of it. I think you’ll see that the text differs in these ways, but the general concept is the same. These are the same places where the funding would be sent and you will see the Chamber’s position on this. Here’s how this process works. These are two separate rooms. I cannot be responsible for what happens in the Senate or how they conduct their business. My responsibility as the House of Representatives and we will. Thank you.
If you are a Conservative voter, the Uniparty will never represent you.
