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.”
Says the man that tracks when he and his son masturbate.
Republican says you were wrong not to vote for them
Ya don’t say.
How is this news
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.
The words of a traitor are valueless. The only thing I want to hear from Mike Johnson is his final gurgle.
That’s the beauty of democracy. The people choose what they want, not what those in power want.
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.
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 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.
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’?
Shut up and keep scrolling Grindr Mikey you’re out of your element
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.
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.
Compromise with fascists is fascism.
Nobody said this is about truth seeking.
If an elected official thinks he can tell the voters that they were wrong for not choosing his party, that is anti-democracy
No, it isn’t. Goddamn y’all are dumb as shit sometimes.
What, you think Trump was the right choice in 2024 because he won both the popular vote and ec?
Partisan morons who decide whether a statement is true or just an opinion based solely on who says it, lmao.
Nice strawman. I said elected officials telling voters they’re wrong is anti-democracy. No more, no less.
You’re adding these layers of “whether something someone said was true” and “partisanship.”
FUN FACT: Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every. Word.
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.
