"I say this to my Republican colleagues....there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain."~Liz Cheney~

Johnson you call yourself a christian and you come on TV and blatantly lie with your facts that are truly false. It’s sad you are the speaker of the house.

[NWebster]

The gaslighting is so disrespectful to the American voters.

[terrybaker]

Here you have someone thats making excuses, but they throws Jesus Name when its convenient for them when talking against the Democrats. I just pray that people make the best decision and vote blue down ballot for the good of the people and the country.

[jhaymuenster]

Speaker Johnson is truly spineless. He knows exactly what Trump was talking about.

[aladyknight]

The gaslighting from the right is why I’m voting for a Democrat this time. I’d like to come back to the Republican Party, but not as long as Trumpism is leading

[ShadoeHaze]

As a Louisiana resident, I AM DISGUSTED by Mike Johnson. He should be ashamed of himself for the way he blatantly lies to protect Trump. VERY un-Christian like and shameful.

[blueguy]

He accuses Kamala of not answering questions while not answering the question he is asked. This guy is a joke

[soldierette]

This guy lies every single time that he speaks. I can't stand listening to him. He's untrustworthy as far as his word. It's shameful that he's the Speaker of the House.

34 criminal convictions
91 indictment
How he is even allowed to run

[kieulannguyen]

Such a spineless Speaker of the House. He did not answer the question that Jake Tapper asked. GOP complained that Harris never answered any questions but they are so despicable.

[aquaticllamas]

This johnson guy has to be one of the sickest liars I have ever seen. That is mental

[LMM]

Goodbye Mike you will no longer be the Speaker after January 20.

[kreevoldar]

The fact that you let him ramble on and keep saying "with respect", how do you respect a supposed christian lying right to your face? It's just plain ridiculous. . .

[Bakes-zc]

I’ll answer the question for you, Mr short memory, 4 years ago there were overflowing hospitals and morgues, disillusioned republicans everywhere, disillusioned allies everywhere, a crashing economy and in a few months, a attempted coup. It was that bad

[suekoons]

Good job Jake, I’m so tired of all these people lying and worshipping this deranged man!!

[Nima]

Let's be fair here. Those to clips of videos were 2 separate videos that CNN tried to create a story out of it. Also, let's say Donald Trump is a bad choice for this country, which we all saw it for 4 years that he wasn't, Do you really want Kamala to be the president at this crucial time???? She clearly said the other day that she doesn't know most of the things that she is going to deal with when she becomes president, but she will do research and going to learn about it and also consult with people that know things!!!!

[SSGN]

No integrity. Zero. I will never vote for any person who supports Donald Trump. Period.

[FlamingSwordOfWisdom]

Jake stop having them on your show. Don’t let them use your show for the ridiculous propaganda. These are morons. This was incredibly dangerous. I’m terrified. The Republican Party has lost its mind.

[trumplies-dh]

Johnson is no more a christian than weirdos with no idea of govt.
