One of the individuals that I have mixed feelings about is the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. He appeared to cave to the Democrats when the latest bill concerning the arming of Ukraine came across his desk. As you might recall there was nothing in that bill that mentioned our southern border, despite his prior protestations about that issue. Some may have referred to this as “the art of compromise,” although MTG and others, including myself, thought otherwise.
However, on 5/13, Speaker Johnson attended the Trump trial in NYC and afterwards reflected on how this Democrat inspired pseudo-trial might just boomeranging on them Dems. Reflecting on his travels across the country, Mr. Johnson conveyed widespread public discontent with the trial, “I’ve been in 102 cities in over half the states in the last few months, and I can tell you that no matter where we are around the country, I’ve been doing large events,” he said. “People from all walks of life come to these events, and they are concerned about this. They are disgusted about this. They are fed up. They’ve had enough because they see what’s happening.”
Now, not everyone would agree with Speaker Johnson’s “across the country” observation. For instance, I have an acquaintance who is an over-the-top leftist, a true MSNBC-aholic! Hopefully, this Trump pseudo-trial will boomerang on him and his leftist cohorts. Perhaps down the road he will be able to consider the consequences of what is happening in NYC. As both he and MSNBC are afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, it is likely that this potential boomerang will never affect them directly. However, crucial is whether or not Independents recognize what this trial is actually all about … and if they do, then this Dem inspired pseudo-trial will boomerang on them just as Speaker Johnson has said.
