Democrats are testing whether a moment when Republicans shouted down a reporter for asking about Mike Johnson’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election will have a political impact.
When House Republicans held an impromptu press conference late Tuesday night to celebrate coalescing around their new speaker nominee, they were in no mood to answer tough questions—or even the obvious one.
So when ABC reporter Rachel Scott asked Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA)—the speaker nominee who has now been elevated to the speakership—about his leading efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Republicans were having none of it.
They drowned out the reporter with boos. Johnson said “next question.” And Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) told the reporter to “shut up!”
Now, a D.C.-based advocacy group, Courage For America, is seizing on the moment to attack Republicans and quickly define the new speaker.
Evangelical christofascist stands proudly next to a divorcee captured on video performing sexual acts in public.
Just one more way in which the GOP can advertise their rank hypocrisy in bright neon signs.
Wait, he’s standing next to a divorcee? Does he know how dangerous that is? Johnson has said that divorce is one of the reasons why we have mass shootings! For his own safety, he needs to keep Boebert at least 10 feet away at all times!!!
10 feet? Guns have that short of a range? TIL.
Maybe she is just a terrible shot.
Her date sure wasn’t! 😉

Lauren Boebert is all about Mike Johnson😚
