Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have ourselves a speaker. If you’ve never heard of Mike Johnson, allow me to make an introduction.
Mike represents the 4th Congressional District of Louisiana and serves as Vice Chairman of the House Republican Conference. Above all, he’s a good man of Christian faith who answers to the people, not the lobbyists. In fact, he’s a constitutional law attorney who is unashamed to fight for the freedoms this country was founded on.
In a town where it sure is easy to ruffle a few feathers, Mike Johnson doesn’t have a single enemy.
God knows the swamp was working overtime with the establishment to sink every good option we had—and make no mistake, the sharks tried to undermine Mike too. But while they managed to take a bite out of the first three contenders, timing was on Mike’s side. Once voting was conducted openly without any anonymous funny business, the result was a unanimous decision.
A lot has played out this month, and I heard a few people along the way say, “You broke the institution.” But I wouldn’t change a thing.
This “institution” is $33 trillion in debt—it was already broken long before I took a stand. But fresh leadership presents us with an opportunity to repair those cracks in the foundation. Mike wants to pass a budget and stop with the nonsense of CRs and omnibus bills chock-full of grease for lobbyists and special interests.
Mike Johnson is the kind of leader we fought for, and America absolutely deserves his gold standard of direction. I look forward to a new era of conservative government that is steady and strong, guiding us toward a brighter future.
