STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

S: Those are quotes

Here’s the SOTH, Mike Johnson lying AGAIN just this morning.

This shutdown is about canceling Americans healthcare and giving tax handouts to the most wealthy Americans.

That’s it.
This is
DONALD TRUMP’S
SHUT DOWN.
Period.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10d

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement
