Mike Johnson accused Democrats of “cherry pick[ing] three emails out of 20,000 documents” to “try and imply that the president was guilty.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has claimed that the Democrats rushing toward a vote next week to release files linked to the sex trafficking investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is a part of the party’s “entire game plan.”
“President Trump has clean hands. He’s not worried about it. I talk to him all the time. He has nothing to do with this. He’s frustrated that they’re turning it into a political issue,” the Louisiana politician told host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.”
Johnson called the move “not surprising because the Democrats have nothing else to talk about.”
This is what makes Schumers actions last week make even less sense.
He had Trump on the ropes. He could have had Republicans dismantle the fillibuster.
Then a Epstein vote coasts through.,
That would require schumer to actually be useful. And that’s not who he is.
He’s useful for the people who pay him. Just not the people who he is meant to represent, or the party as a whole.
He represents AIPAC, not New York.
A possible vote on the Epstein files is apparently worth sacrificing healthcare and SNAP for millions of Americans and making Republicans worried about consequences.
Controlled opposition.
Yeah but like, you still could have forced Republicans to own actually shitting those programs down.
My theory is that he traded the release of these files. Still questionable at best.
My theory is that he’s a neoliberal corporatist traitor who decided to sabotage the party because the socialists and progressives did too well in the election. Can’t have success associated with a leftward shift, ever, at all costs – even capitulating to fascist pedos for zero gain.
Absurd. I get that you want everything to be black and white. It’s certainly easier to just rage indiscriminately. But it’s not productive.
It’s far less absurd than what you first suggested.
Schumer outright said his primary allegiance is to Israel.
