The hideous diatribe by disgraceful Speaker Mike Johnson against the Jan. 6th committee is a textbook case of slandering, gaslighting, lies. To have this calumny repeated over and over by the fpotus and his cult is infuriating. And if it weren't for courageous people like Officer Eugene Goodman, some of these same liars could have been injured or killed as they crouched cowering in fear from a mob they now glorify. These quislings are beyond monstrous.

MAGA Mike would do better to put J6 in the rear view mirror rather than reminding us of the conspiracy to overturn a lawful election that was orchestrated at the highest levels of government AND the LIES the Mumpettes are manufacturing to cover up this historic tragedy.

But, instead, he’s going to keep reminding us of how Trump, members of Congress and Trump allies incited violence to halt the counting of the electoral votes- and how only the extreme bravery of our LEOs, Speaker Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Mike Pence permitted the count to proceed. Why? Because Trump (and Putin!) want him to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie until we forget the truth. WE WILL NEVER FORGET THE TRUTH OF JAN6. NEVER.

NO AMOUNT OF SCRUBBING WILL REMOVE THOSE STAINS.

We saw what happened on January 6 with our own eyes.

There's nothing Mike Johnson or the GOP can say to change that.

We saw.

Mike Johnson tweet 1/6/21 @4:28pm ET

"I unambiguously condemn in the strongest possible terms any and all forms of violent protest. Any individuals who committed violence today should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It is beyond time to remember that while may disagree, we are all Americans, and there is far more that unites us than divides us. I extend my deepest thanks to the United States Capitol Police for protecting the Capitol complex today and all days."

What influences changed his mind SO dramatically in the past 4 years?? Ask him today. Hold him to his words.

Mike Johnson is showing everyone that he is only an A #1 brown nose butt kisser and a coward. Mike Johnson is someone you would never want in a foxhole with you. He would turn and run at the first sign of trouble. And on top of all this he is also the worst kind of hypocrite. Just another example of the disgraceful Republicans "serving" in Congress....

Eugene Goodmans’s bravery and quick thinking was awe inspiring and a statue, while great just does not seem like enough

I agree that he should have received the medal. But everyone who did will be a renewed target of the #DirtyOldMan.

There were many heroes that day and they all should be honored for doing their duty.
