Preemptively defending himself against accusations of, yet again, turning a blind eye to an inconvenient news item, Johnson told reporters, “You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours the last few days, and I did not get the briefing on that. I will this morning.”
Poor overworked Mike Johnson. Maybe the House of Representatives has a part-time role he can transition to.
I hear “Former Representative” pays pretty well.
Ok few things…
He talks about working 22 hours over a few days like that’s a lot. I’m betting you and I have worked 24 hours over the last 3 days and none of us are removed about the time we put in. And we don’t get vacations half the year.
and if you worked less than 3 days and put on this many hours and you’re still this uninformed about things relevant to your job. Then you’re not working, you’re wasting time.
Somehow I misread it as 22 hours straight, which seemed plausible for a high level government employee if they had some fire to put out. But 22 hours over the last few DAYS?? Nurses put in more time than that in two days! EMTs often work more time in ONE day! The level of wealthy disconnect needed to offer that as an excuse, holy shit.
E: reading it again, maybe he meant he worked 22 hours each day for several days? If he did that’s a weird way to phrase it, but if he did his brain is probably fried so that’s explainable. But I don’t believe without evidence that he would work that long for multiple days.
LOL, I don’t believe this guy works 8 hours, never mind 22 hours in one day.

Correct… the standard English interpretation is that a “couple” is 2 and a “few” is 3… 3 days at 8 hours per day should give you 24 hours of work, so he was working less than anyone with a normal full time job…
Yupp I thought this immediately. “A few days, to work 22 hours”
Its hilarious because this highlights how out of touch they are with normal people. I bet he got to work all those hours in AC as well.
Imagine working a 22 hour day and never getting briefed on the fact that another one of your nazis cut someone down in the street, and using it as a defense.
Last few days, so less than a typical workload for most americans. And still complaining about being overworked.
No, he said 22 hours over the “last few days.” That’s at least 3 days, which is slightly more than 7 hours per day. And if it means 4 days, it’s a part-time job. Hes not exactly killing it out there, and the results show it.
When will his AI assessment be ready? Because I think I can predict that it will indicate that he can be replaced easily.
All those hours, and hasn’t accomplished a damn thing, while not being informed about anything. Is he jerking off the rest of congress one at a time?
Oh no! He worked a whole 22 hours in a few days? Since a few is 3 or more he worked 7 hours a day? Bless his heart, I hope he gets some rest soon, pobrecito he must be so tired.
I worked about 22 hours the last few days
Laste few days? So more than one or two, 3 minimum. So the very most he worked was an average 7.33 hours each day.
removed can’t even work full time and he’s whinging about it.
Funny how he never seems to know about bad things that have recently happened, but only when they make the Republicans look bad.
He wants us to feel bad he worked 7.33 per day? Mf you owe us 40 minutes. Maybe if you would have worked that extra 40 minutes you would have gotten the briefing.
Little Mikey Johnson’s default setting seems to be always on passive aggressive.
He’s such a little removed.
