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.”
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.
YOU ARE ALL WRONG, NOT ME, IT’S YOUUUUUU
Ah yes. The ‘well, I didn’t do those things’ defense. Come to think of it, what is the christian version of ‘all evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing’?
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.
Shut up and keep scrolling Grindr Mikey you’re out of your element
Yeah don’t let the door…actually…open the door and from the outside stick your hand in the hinge gap. Now slam the faken thing shut and GTFO dude.
Can I blast Mike’s dad for making the wrong decision in not pulling out?
I’m okay with his parents’ decision to have Mike. I’m not okay with their decision to completely fail in their duties and raise this feckless piece of shit.
If they weren’t gonna do the second, they shouldn’t have done the first.
Hey Mike, sit down and shut up. The grownups are talking.
To be able to say that seriously is an admission that you do not believe in democracy.
So true.
Except for not at all?
Democracy is not a system of truth seeking. It’s a compromise.
LOL, I love it when these dingles actually say out loud such whoppers like donnie “is doing so many good things for the American people” or “we had so much work to do to undo all the damage that Biden and the Democrat (sic) Party did” or whatever the fuck.
Such unbelievably blatant liars.
With an added dose of condescension about how people don’t even appreciate all the good they are doing, how could this happen?
These assholes completely pooched the economy, gave even more money away to the obscenely wealthy parasitic class, and then set up a bomb to have shit really hit the fan for the 99% in Jan 2027 and have the balls to sit there and whine that people didn’t vote for them.
Did Mike Johnson even say thank you?!?!?
Yea. They could have stormed the Capitol instead. That would have been a choice.
Fuck you in the neck Mikey.
piss off Mikey, don’t you have to monitor your sons porn habits?
Hahahahaha, god I love Stephen Colbert’s deadpan humor.
Oh wait that’s Mike Johnson?
Shut up bitch
