Speaker of the Home Mike Johnson was requested throughout his press convention why he needs to satisfy with Biden if he thinks the President is in cognitive decline, and he answered with phrase salad.
How Did Speaker Johnson Defend His Biden Cognitive Hypocrisy?
Johnson was requested, “You’ve talked about the challenge of the President’s cognitive ability. You’ve said he is not fit to be President, don’t believe he can do the job. Why do you think a meeting, a one-on-one meeting with the President Of The United States would solve all of these problems?”
Speaker Johnson answered, “Well, that’s a very good question, but I have to do everything that I can, and he is the commander in chief right now, as uncomfortable as that makes most of this country, and I have to work with what I have. I have to do my job, and I’m going to insist to continue to do that. The House Republicans are going to continue to do our job. We’re going to continue to move the ball forward. We’re going to continue to demand that before we take care of issues all around the world, we take care of our own first. I’m telling you, that is not a campaign message. That is the truth, and that is what resonates in the hearts of the American people. We are on the side of common sense, it’s the side of security, the side of stability, it’s the side of sanity, and the President Of The United States will not acknowledge that, and it is of great alarm to us.”
Johnson didn’t reply the query.

Republicans Can’t Have It Each Methods On Biden
Biden can’t be each too cognitively declined to be President and a mastermind who’s utilizing the presidency to cease the Republican agenda on immigration. These two issues can’t exist collectively as a result of they contradict one another.
The truth that Johnson couldn’t give you something resembling a solution to a really apparent query ought to inform the American individuals all that they should know concerning the GOP claims associated to Biden’s cognitive skills.
Republicans can’t sq. the circle, and it means that if the White Home seizes the second and places Biden on the market extra, these assaults on Biden could possibly be neutralized.
