Rolling Stone: “Mike Johnson has a reflex. When asked about a major breaking news event that is dominating headlines and conversations around Capitol Hill’s proverbial water coolers — usually the president’s latest authoritarian endeavor or national humiliation — Johnson defaults to pretending he has no access to the internet, newspapers, or staff who are quite literally paid to keep him informed.”
“The House speaker wants you to believe he lives under a rock, that he’s so busy refusing to swear in duly elected members of Congress and plotting ways to strip health care and food assistance from poor people that he simply cannot be bothered to keep up with the news. It’s the least believable schtick in Washington, D.C.”
