Speaker Johnson Shuts Down Senate Bill, Blasts Biden in Fiery Presser: “A Man Too Incapable of Being Held Accountable For Mishandling Classified Information is Certainly Unfit for the Oval Office (VIDEO)
Link to article
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday morning shut down the Senate’s foreign aid bill and blasted Joe Biden in a fiery press conference.
Last week Republican Senators voted against advancing a compromised ‘border security bill’ that would have allocated more money to foreign countries while largely ignoring the US border.
The Senate’s $118.28 billion national security supplemental package allocated $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
Only $20.23 billion was allocated to secure the US border amid an unprecedented invasion of military-age males from Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and China.
After this bill failed to pass the Senate last week, Schumer rolled out another supplemental aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
The Senate early Tuesday passed Schumer’s supplemental aid package and allocated $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. 22 Republicans voted in favor of giving foreign countries money while ignoring the crisis at the US border.
The $95 billion package died in the House. Speaker Johnson shut it down.
“The Republican-led House will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign aid bill that was opposed by most Senate Republicans,” Speaker Johnson said.
Speaker Johnson blasted Joe Biden and cited Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report in which he described Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory.
The Justice Department defended not charging Joe Biden because he isn’t competent to stand trial.
“A man too incapable of being held accountable for mishandling classified information is certainly unfit for the Oval Office,” Johnson said.

I don’t get people here hating on Johnson. He is about the best we could hope for
Maybe not perfect but he is preventing the worst of the crap from the Senate/Biden from being passed

Indeed. It would be nice to have a solid Speaker though. Being slightly above KM isn’t saying much

1000% chance mccarthy brings this bill to the floor and promotes its passing.
Definite upgrade with Johnson. He has proven already that he has balls.

The Louisiana way is hate and talk down upon those you are jealous of. Any successful biz in this state peopele find a way to hate. This state constantly fails because of this and ends up voting in clowns

He may not be the speaker even prior to the 2024 election, as Democrats win special elections to the house, and Republicans quit, retire and are ousted at a dizzying pace. I full expect Hakeem Jeffries to be The Speaker on Nov 7.
His power is really limited, thanks to ongoing political restraints. Although he talks big in opposition to The Bill now, in a couple weeks he'll be in a serious |||squeeze play||| and have no other viable political choice, than to CAVE.

Most Republican senators voted against:
Except Cassidy and Kennedy. Call and hold them accountable!

Nothing would make you happier. Can you defend your boy Biden? I’d love to hear it.

You are mistaking “hating” for holding accountable. It’s a new era.

This is ignorant.

Well, Johnson is showing some fight. Digging in is good, and I hope he comes out of that fighting position and goes on the attack.

Mike will not cave. Many Ukraine First Democrats and Republicans will a sign a "discharge petition" and circumvent Mike Johnson to bring the bill to the floor of the House for a vote and the Ukraine firsters like you will win. It's not a cave. It's a House parliament rule maneuver.
Congratulations to you and Ukraine.
