(Crankers) Speaker Mike Johnson is being scolded on social media, accused of selling out Republicans after the spending bill drama. As Mike Johnson was being called out online, some folks began to show old videos of Speaker Mike Johnson that caused him to face even more scrutiny.
On one post, a user named Wall Street Apes, who has over 680k followers, criticized the now controversial speaker, saying: “Speaker Mike Johnson should have never become Speaker, he’s sold us out at every opportunity Here’s Mike Johnson saying white privilege is real, systemic change is needed and George Floyd’s death was murder He’s CLEARLY been blackmailed from the beginning, its why he was chosen.”
It’s unclear if Mike Johnson was ever officially blackmailed, so that part is speculation for now. However, it does seem somewhat odd that Mike Johnson was hanging out with Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the past – then met with Democrat Hakeem Jeffries and things with the spending bill took a drastic turn. Republicans wanted to split the bill into individual issues and vote on them one at a time – the way it should be. But after the meeting between Hakeem Jeffries and Speaker Johnson, things shifted back towards lumping items together in a single bill.
The Continuing Resolution spending bill passed, and Speaker Mike Johnson remains in the hot seat. Here is the video shared by Wall Street Apes:
