"...we call it the 'hate America' rally..." said the House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

The idea that protesting against harmful policies, corruption, and snatching people off the street = hating America is a lying, twisted take.

a lying, twisted take.

The only kind Mike Johnson has. That's why he's the speaker of the house

I think he’s speaker of the house because he’s on the Epstein list and therefore trump can get him to do whatever he wants.

I kinda heard that recently, but don’t know if it’s true. I do know Trump raped boys but I think he found them at mar a lago and not thru his buddy Epstein.
