House Speaker "MAGA" Mike Johnson reportedly just "bolted" away without speaking to reporters after losing two major votes.
Billy House, Bloomberg News Congress reporter, reported on Tuesday evening, "Johnson bolts from capitol....does not stop to talk to reporters." That report came after the House Republicans failed in their impeachment vote of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his immigration policies, as well as a loss on a vote to send $17.6 billion to Israel.
"I've seen a lot of embarrassing days for different House Republican leadership teams. This one is pretty high on the list," Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News reported. "They lost a vote to impeach Mayorkas. And then they lost a vote to send $17.6 billion to Israel. They didn't need to vote on the Israel bill today. They knew it would fail. They chose to."
Johnson's demeanor seems to align with what is being said about him by various right-wing pundits. Trump ally Steve Bannon said, "This I got to tell you is an absolute catastrophe for Johnson.” "Absolutely devastating," the host added.
