Run, MAGA Mike, run. Doesn't it seem that every single day now, MAGA Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, is panicking in sheer terror in the halls of the Capitol building, running away from the press who have very basic questions to ask him? Just take yesterday, for example, where MAGA Mike was running away as the press wanted to know his response to Donald Trump. calling for the execution via hanging of Democratic lawmakers who put out a video telling the troops not to follow unlawful orders and telling the troops that these Democratic lawmakers have their back. MAGA Mike attacks the Democratic lawmakers and says, well, of course, Donald Trump did what he was supposed to do here.

Just watch what MAGA Mike does. Here, play this clip. Speaker, how you doing?
Hi.
Ben Meiselas 1:21
The president posted that Democrats who urge service members to not follow illegal orders should be punished. It should be it should be seditious conspiracy and punishable by death.
Unknown 1:35
Look, I know the DOJ and the Pentagon are looking into the legality of all that. But what I can address is what everybody knows. That was wildly inappropriate.
Ben Meiselas 1:45
It is very dangerous. You have leading members of Congress telling troops to disobey orders. I think that's unprecedented in American history. And as the father of a young man who is at the Naval Academy, going to be joining the service, I know young soldiers, airmen, sailors, they don't need that kind of nonsense from people in Congress. It is very dangerous. I'm going to let others define what it is, but it's well and appropriate. And by the way, I just got to show you right here what Democratic Senator Mark Kelly had to say about this.

Why is Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson described as 'in panic' in the Capitol halls?

Here, play this clip.
Unknown 2:23
What does it say when the White House press secretary has to deny that the president wants Democratic members of Congress executed? Well, Kate, it says we are in uncharted waters. I mean, I never expected, after serving 25 years in the Navy, flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the space shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated because of something the president said.
Ben Meiselas 2:53
In MAGA Mike's face, doesn't it always just look like this right now? Let's just take a look at what else has been going on, though, as MAGA Mike and these MAGA Republicans are in utter terror, and they just don't know what to do since the government shutdown has ended in these hearings. I think they humiliate themselves every single moment. Here you have MAGA Republican Senator John Cornyn, and he was calling Congress costumed anti-ice protestors and dancing grandmothers, absolute lunatics. He goes, we really have to worry about those grandmas doing the Jane Fonda dances. I kid you not, this is verbatim what he said. Here, play this clip.

Committing physical violence to activists dressed as dinosaurs and rabbits. And in some costumes that I won't even hazard a guess as to what they are trying to represent. We've even seen some dancing grandmas trying to stop enforcement of our immigration laws. One Jane Fonda dance move at a time.

I don't know, what's worse, that or Lindsey Graham and his face is like bright orange, like they're all doing the Trump bright orange thing going on with their faces or is it bright red? I don't know. And Lindsey Graham's like, I am absolutely suing Biden's DOJ and Jack Smith, and I'm going to make millions of dollars. And this is in regards to Lindsey Graham and the MAGA Republican senators creating a cause of action for them to sue the federal government right now, Trump's DOJ, the money would come from we the people, the taxpayer dollars, in connection with the fact that as part of special counsel Jack Smith's criminal investigation regarding the insurrection, subpoenas were issued lawfully by courts, and certain Republican senators' phone numbers showed up because they were speaking to Donald Trump in connection with the insurrection and related to January 6th, and the digits of their phone numbers showed up, so the MAGA Republicans
