[RosaLopez-fgqr]

He better pray that marjorie doesn’t come for him again because he won’t have those democratic votes again. Karma is a bitch that comes along real strong.

Speaker Mike Johnson should be embarrassed of himself because he’s Congressman NOT Trumps spokesman!

Oh lord, he should not be trying to influence a jury outside his trial

So we are paying these fools to go to a Trump trial and spew his lies on TV? WTF have we become.

It is so hard to take Mike Johnson seriously.

Imagine standing behind a criminal instead of doing your job for the American people???
Vote these clowns out of office.
