In separate Friday morning cable news bits, Jesus Dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson first refused to engage with CNN anchor John Berman’s parsing of Fox News’s polling showing the small number of popular provisions to the Big Beautiful Piece of Shit his party jammed through Congress early last month, saying the poll was manipulated somehow and that the whole thing is actually super popular since he’s been to town halls in which people stood up to applaud the legislation.
He then cited the makeup of California’s House delegation to claim that Golden State MAGA voters are being disenfranchised under Gov Gavin Newsom’s retaliatory re-gerrymander, unlike Texas Dem voters who don’t deserve shit. Later on Fox News Johnson was asked to respond to Newsom highlighting Louisiana’s murder rate is nearly four times that of California’s, clearly annoying the speaker who said Newsom “needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in all this.”
