Democrats only needed to flip three seats to gain the majority in the House — they picked up 44 in a massive GOP shellacking
House Speaker Mike Johnson has blasted voters for making the “wrong choice” on Election Day last week.
Donald Trump, Johnson and other Republican leaders were tasked with keeping the majority in Congress, but despite their best efforts, Democrats swept the midterms in a defeat so crushing that it was dubbed a blue tsunami.
Johnson shared regret for the GOP’s shellacking, but not the blame. Instead, the Republican leader pinned it on the Americans who voted against his party on Tuesday.
When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill Monday whether Trump needs to “course correct” after the midterm losses, Johnson said, “I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”
Yeah you did great Mikey boy, that’s why we ain’t got healthcare next year and can’t afford gas
The sense of entitlement is astounding.
Eat shit mikey. Have fun watching porn with your son.
It’s surprising he’s heard the results.
Nah, I hate this little toad, and his arrogant patronization. He can fuck all the way back off to Louisiana.
Says the man that tracks when he and his son masturbate.
Makes it hotter
Republican says you were wrong not to vote for them
Ya don’t say.
How is this news
That’s the beauty of democracy. The people choose what they want, not what those in power want.
The words of a traitor are valueless. The only thing I want to hear from Mike Johnson is his final gurgle.
So is it legal to bully congresscritters to paranoid suicidality or no? Because frankly speaking I think it’d be funny if Johnson killed himself.
This is a bit unhinged, even for my communist standards.
Well good thing I’m a Redneck and it’s perfectly cosher by cultural standards. Also this is moreso a side effect of not being able to just bushwar these fuckers from existing.
What an interesting thing to say, for someone whose job is literally to represent the voters and enact the will of the people. He is literally a Congressional Representative.
“I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”
Johnson expects SO much success, in fact, that he is stepping down from leadership in the new Congress altogether, and refused the minority leader position that was offered him.
This dudes entire tenure has been pretending (charitable?) to be clueless about current events to avoid accountability and now he’s got some pointed thoughts on being held accountable.
Fuck you, Limp Johnson, go call another recess so you don’t have to call a vote Drunk Pete’s impeachment. It’s the one thing you’re good at.
I guess that’s worse than being a piece of human-shaped garbage? I dunno.
Fuck you Mike. You conceded one of the three branches of Governmental power to the President. You are one of the biggest failures of Congressman that has ever served.
