Mike Johnson’s Reaction To Trump Is ‘Unhinged’ Quip Raises Eyebrows | EUROtoday

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is elevating eyebrows for an alternate he had with Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean through which he appears to agree together with her criticism about President Donald Trump.

Video taken Wednesday reveals Dean explaining to Johnson that Trump proved he was unfit to be president after his speech earlier this week earlier than the nation’s prime navy leaders throughout which he mentioned, amongst different issues, that he might use the armed forces to combat “the enemy within.”

After Dean instructed the House speaker point-blank that “the president is unhinged. He is unwell,” Johnson didn’t seem to disagree, as a substitute making an attempt some whataboutism.

“A lot of folks on your side are too,” he mentioned, including, “I don’t control him.”

Dean fired again, “Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?”

Johnson denied seeing the video, so Dean knowledgeable him it was “so dangerous” and defined the way it’s going to make America much less protected.

“Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing,” she mentioned. “You have a president who is unwell.”

The alternate went viral, partially as a result of Johnson’s use of the phrase “too” appeared to indicate settlement with Dean’s rivalry that Trump is “unhinged.”

Johnson didn’t tackle his seeming settlement with Dean’s “Trump is unhinged” remark when CNN requested about their alternate a couple of hours later.

“I’m the speaker of the House, so I represent Republicans and Democrats in that capacity, and I always hear complaints and concerns from members and I always stop and hear that, and I did that for Madeleine Dean. I respect her as an individual. We disagree on every policy matter.”

“I tried to bring her back to the real issue,” he added. “The fight tonight is not about social media posts. The fight is about whether they’re going to keep the government open for the American people.”
