A House Democrat committee posted false information about GOP speaker nominee Mike Johnson of Louisiana in an attempt to paint him as a 'MAGA extremist.'
A House Democrat committee posted false information attempting to paint GOP speaker nominee Mike Johnson as a 'MAGA extremist.' The House Judiciary Democrats's attempt to blast Johnson in a tweet before Wednesday's floor vote for the speaker's gavel backfired when they claimed he was a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. 'Rep. Mike Johnson is a member of the far-right Freedom Caucus, which has pushed a budget proposal to defund the FBI,' the tweet reads.
The tweet from the party, whose members pushed defunding the police, included a screenshot from the Biden White House's website that reads the 'extreme MAGA Republican House Freedom Caucus proposal would eliminate funding for 11,000 FBI personnel, including agents who investigate crimes and keep guns out of the hands of felons and domestic abusers.
Additionally, Wisconsin GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden is still overseas in Israel on a fact-finding mission, meaning Johnson's margin of loss is smaller. Johnson also got support from former President Trump, who gave his support for the GOP nominee, urging Republicans to 'get it done, fast' ahead of a potential House speaker vote Wednesday.
