Johnson Said Trump Was Unfit and ‘Dangerous’ in 2015

November 14, 2023 · 6:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Years before he played a lead role in trying to help President Donald Trump stay in office after the 2020 election or defended him in two separate Senate impeachment trials, Speaker Mike Johnson bluntly asserted that Mr. Trump was unfit to serve and could be a danger as president,” the New York Times reports.

Said Johnson: “The thing about Donald Trump is that he lacks the character and the moral center we desperately need again in the White House.”

He added: “I am afraid he would break more things than he fixes. He is a hot head by nature, and that is a dangerous trait to have in a Commander in Chief.”
