GOP Rep. Mike Johnson: 'Mr. Cohen is wrong, Canada is not the most free country in the world'

Democrat Rep Steve Cohen of Tennessee yells at Rep Mike Johnson of Louisiana for correcting him about the freedom of America.

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHNSON: “Mr. Cohen is wrong, Canada is not the most free country in the world, young people. (Laughter) America is the greatest nation in the world. We are the most free, most successful, most powerful nation because finally now we have been — we’ve tried to live up to the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence, and finally now the Supreme Court after 50 years, nearly 50 years of an atrocity has brought us back to that truth, brought us back to that truth —“
COHEN: “Will you yield the time —“ [crosstalk]
JOHNSON: “I will not yield Mr. Cohen, because your — your — your comments are absurd. This hearing is absurd.”
COHEN: “Your comments are absurd! You’re absurd!”
UNKNOWN MALE: “It’s Mr. Johnson’s time, Mr. Cohen.”
JOHNSON: “Thank you. This hearing is absurd. The Democrat majority has called us here for this hearing entitled ‘The threat to individual freedoms in a post Roe world.’ Come on! The first inalienable individual freedom is the right to be born. It’s the right to life. We boldly declared that in our nation’s birth certificate. America should continue to uphold the sanctity of human life. And state and local and federal government officials have a duty, a constitutional responsibility, to protect that fundamental right.”
