Tongue-Tied Johnson Stumbles as Newsom Rubs in Louisiana’s Higher Crime Rates

House Speaker Mike Johnson stumbled through his response after California Gov. Gavin Newsom pointed out that crime in Johnson’s home state of Louisiana is several times worse than in the Golden State.

Johnson spoke haltingly after he was played a clip Friday on Fox and Friends of Newsom pointing out that the murder rate in Louisiana is “nearly four times higher” than in California.

“Gavin Newsom will do anything for attention. He can name-drop me all, all,” Johnson stammered, “that he wants. He needs to go and govern his state and not be engaging in all of this.”

“We have crime,” he stuttered, “in cities across America.”

Surprised he took Trump's **** out of his mouth long enough to respond.

 

[slavablueberryjam]

Do you guys not understand that this is deliberate circus by politicians or are y'all bots propagating the narrative? This nation is doomed.

I would ask Johnson if he has requested the NG to be deployed in Louisiana or has talked to the Governor about requesting the NG.

I suspect he has not.

Pixie Mike Johnson doesn't wanna fight with Newsom. He'll get destroyed and then have to try to use the weight of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (via Trump) to strike back at the 4th largest economy in the world.

It's about time.

The number of times people from red states with high crime, high drug use, high depression, high mortality, terrible education systems, and ultimately a drain on the US coffers come at California or NY is ridiculous.

Dude is somehow more smug and hate-able than Ted Cruz.

 

[ncguy]

really, there is no logical, mature defense to this stupidity. Its all about political theater and pandering to the gop base. if they were truly interested in using troops to reduce crime, they wouldn't be talking about sending them to chicago...or having them pick up trash in dc.

where is doge? this is clearly waste, abuse, and fraud to be paying NG to do landscaping.

This thread is devoid of ANY Trumpers, as usual when the facts are present.

Didn't see how it was possible but I agree.

If polls are any indication Newsom's decision to fight on the level with Trumplicans is resonating with Democrats:

Amid MAGA backlash, Trump nemesis soars ahead in new poll

Could he be a clear 2028 frontrunner?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is leading by a large margin in a hypothetical 2028 Democratic presidential primary, an Emerson College poll revealed on Friday. Newsom recorded 25% support, a 13-point increase from June when he trailed behind other potential nominees at 12%.

Buttigieg strikes me as the most intelligent, self-aware, and well-spoken of Democratic potentials, but the odds of him winning the presidency in this society are slim.

I want to say it’s early days, but actually it’s early years.

Lots of time for upsets, surprises, or consolidation. Who knows?

Next year’s midterm elections will give some insights. Or not.

Voters are generally dumb, and have short memories.

Newsom would be a tough sell across the country.

Still, I enjoy watching him make fools of Traitor Trump, lil’ Mikey Johnson, and other MAGAts.

Don't forget that citizens voted for a felon. What is stopping them from voting for someone equal or worse?

Hey Mike?

You weren't "named dropped" buddy, you were ACCUSED!

Get used to it.

Jesus...what a ****ing moron!

Daily Beast?

Actually, the clip was from Fox. Still laughable, obviously, but unless you think he was a hologram on the show, the vid shows exactly what he said.

With that said:

He tried so hard for this mocking attitude, but his stuttering gave him away.

He has NO excuse for his crime-riddled, impoverished, obese, sickly fed hand-outs state and he knows it.

You just know he went home and had Kermit Face all night long over the shame. Well, clean up your own criminal, poor, failing shit before you pick on someone else's, Mike. Then ya won't have to sound like such a stuttering asshole, and look so sad all the time.

Gavin Newsom is mobilizing the Cal Guard to help Lousiana with its Mike Johnson crime problem.

Tautology.
