John, before he was Speaker, Mike Johnson was a lead architect behind House Republicans’ efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Now that he’s wielding the power of the Speaker’s gavel, he just announced that House Republicans are blurring footage from the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Whether this is an effort to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation of the rioters who ransacked Congress and attempted to overturn the election, or to shield the rioters' identity from their friends and neighbors, one thing is clear: he is doing the bidding of Trump and his MAGA enablers.
Doctoring footage while hypocritically telling reporters, "We want the American people to draw their own conclusions." The dangerous duplicity from MAGA Republicans just smacks you right in the face.
Some Republicans called the rioters "normal tourists." Others spread conspiracy theories that the Trump supporters charged with crimes were actually undercover law enforcement agents. But they know that Trump’s MAGA supporters were responsible for this attack — and they’re doing everything possible to shield them from accountability.
Republicans, led by their new Speaker Mike Johnson, will tell any and every lie they can to defend the indefensible — all while preparing to subvert yet another presidential election next year.
I did my duty by serving as the lead impeachment manager in Trump’s first Senate trial — while Mike Johnson worked on his defense team.
I upheld my oath of office on the January 6 Select Committee and investigated the worst attack on our nation’s Capitol since the War of 1812.
I’m going to keep fighting to win this Senate race and bring truth and accountability to Congress while MAGA Republicans like Mike Johnson do everything possible to tear our democracy down — and I need you with me. If you can afford it, please chip in $3 to support our fight.
