Mike Johnson: The Dems Are Doubling Down on Policies that Gave Us the Big Victory

GOWDY: “Speaker, you are one of the more mild-mannered colleagues that I’ve ever had. The House can get a little rowdy from time to time. I thought the joint address was a real low point. You had a bird’s-eye view to that. Do House Democrats understand why they lost?”
Johnson: “I don’t think they do, Trey, and it’s really surprising to us. They seem to be doubling and tripling down on the failed policies that gave us the big victory last November. You know, the antics on the floor were just another demonstration of why they lost the election. You know, they’ve resorted to this name-calling and profanity. They have no leader, no vision, no platform they can run on right now. The Democratic Party is flailing. But meanwhile, the Republican Party is sticking together and getting our agenda done. We have a short period of time with which to do it. We’re gonna let the Democrats do what the Democrats do, but we’re going to get the job done. And I think people will see that contrast. It’s on stark display right now, that’s for certain.”
