Someone wake me up when Speaker Mike Johnson gives this advice to his savior Orange Jesus. Johnson made an appearance on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins this Wednesday, and was asked about how his fellow members of Congress were reacting to the Charlie Kirk shooting. MAGA Mike had lots of advice on how people who are using social media platforms to spread hatred and vitriol should be behaving now, but somehow never managed to allow the words Donald Trump to come out of his mouth.
Johnson also lied about the hateful rhetoric and flame-throwing that Kirk spewed on a daily basis, while playing his “can’t we all just get along” game now that Kirk has been killed.
COLLINS: When you say it changed the mood on Capitol Hill today, I mean, we just saw reaction coming in from Republicans and Democrats alike condemning this. What do you mean that you think it changed the mood?
JOHNSON: Well, in that sense, it unifies everybody on both sides of the aisle. We have to call out political violence. I think there is a recognition.
Some are saying it openly, some are quietly, that the vitriol, the level that is there now, the hatred that has been fomented, you know, there’s a time that we’ve got to turn the volume down and I think there’s, there’s a lot of… there’s a lot of the people I think that find pleasure in stoking that fire and it’s dangerous.
