Under creepy insurrectionist Mike Johnson’s tenure, pedophiles are protected, money launderers are protected, domestic abusers are protected, sexual assaulters are protected, traitors are protected, murderers and war criminals are protected. He isn’t a Speaker, he’s a terrorist.
El-Sayed: I think that's clearly what's gone wrong with Fetterman. It's clear he probably doesn't spend much time in Pennsylvania. He was campaigning with Bernie Sanders and now wants to renounce him. I'm hoping to get to the U.S. Senate. Maybe we can hash that conversation out in person.
