What evidence shows MAGA Republican leaders are imploding on Capitol Hill?
MAGA Republican leaders are absolutely losing it on Capitol Hill right now. Moments ago, MAGA Mike Johnson held a press conference where he described the biggest threat to the United States of America right now. Get this. He said, Mayor Mamdani and all the mini-Mamdanis out there. And then he said, for all of you journalists out there, these mini-Mamdanis are coming for you. really at the same time that Donald Trump is out there literally going after journalists, purging the government. This is what destroying our economy, the mini-Mamdanis. Here, watch what he says. Let's play this clip.
Everybody needs to understand these crazy little mini-Mamdanis who are popping up all around the country, they are a danger to you and your family. This is not a game. If they promise you free stuff, There is far more beneath those promises that even some of these people do not understand themselves. And so we are here as the Republican Party to stand on the founding principles of the greatest nation in the history of the world. It is our duty to do that. And we're doing it on behalf of all of you, even the journalists who don't agree with our policies all the time. You better agree on these principles because that's what keeps you free. By the way, it's what keeps the press free, okay? This is essential for your well-being.
Thank you.
and your family. This is not a game. This is not our father's Democrat party. We're not arguing over marginal tax rates anymore. We're arguing over whether or not freedom is going to survive. And that's why we're so serious about this. Look, I'm a happy warrior, man. I like to get up and have fun, but this is not a fun time. We're in a war. We're in a philosophical war to save the greatest nation in history of the world. And we take it very seriously.
Then you have MAGA Mike Johnson responding to a question about the ICE agents who have been murdering people in the United States now for a very long period of time, and especially what's happened recently in Texas and in Maine. And of course, MAGA Mike Johnson goes, yeah, I don't... I haven't heard anything about it. I've been working 22 hours a day, so I just don't know anything about anything. I know you'll make fun of me for it, but I haven't really looked into that. Here, play this clip.
The ICE agents who killed the person in Maine yesterday were reportedly not using body-borne cameras, and that's despite DHS officials coming to Congress and repeatedly saying over the last few months that they want to expand body camera usage. Does there need to be accountability on DHS from Congress here?
I don't know anything about this event. I was a little busy yesterday, so I'm going to reserve judgment.
What did Speaker Mike Johnson say about “mini-Mamdanis” and journalists?
I know that there was a tragic shooting, and I'm not going to comment on it because I don't know. You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours in the last few days, and I did not get the briefing on that yet. I will this morning. Yes.
Why haven't you looked into that? Why wouldn't in those 22 hours of work? What were you talking about there, Maga Mike Johnson and all? Then Maga Mike goes, look, here's what the focus is on. We need to give hundreds of billions of $350 billion more right now to the military because we are fighting communism on our shores. So give us hundreds of billions of dollars so we can fight those communists here in the United States. This is a horrifying press conference from a flailing political party, whatever the hell they are. Here, play this clip.
But there are some ideas, a real vision on how to improve that even further, to bolster that. You've heard the president talk about how he wants to effectively double the funding for national defense. Look, we live in dangerous times. We're fighting communism on our own shores and we're fighting evil terrorists and tyrants around the world. And we have to be able to protect our national security. So this is not the place to get into the details of that.
Then Maga Mike goes and he's asked, so, you know, Maga Mike, do you think that there should be some sort of, I don't know, congressional work?
