Mike Johnson Totally Deflects When Asked About His State’s Crime Rate
No shit, should we have expected something else?
House Speaker Mike Johnson flailed Friday when reporters called attention to his state’s distressing murder rate.
While appearing on Fox News, Johnson was confronted with a clip of California Governor Gavin Newsom name-dropping the Louisiana Republican, while mocking President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Democratic-led cities.
“If he is to invest in crime suppression, I hope the president of the United States will look at the facts. Just consider Speaker Johnson’s state, and district,” Newsom said during a press conference on Thursday. “Just look at the murder rate, which is nearly four times higher than California, in Louisiana.”
“Again, Gavin Newsom will do anything for attention, he can name drop me all that he wants, he needs to go and govern his state and not be engaging in all of this,” Johnson said.
And yet that same gop has no problem sending in the national guard to democratic areas to stop the crime, what a bunch of hypocrites.

He really didn’t have a good answer.
