Preemptively defending himself against accusations of, yet again, turning a blind eye to an inconvenient news item, Johnson told reporters, “You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours the last few days, and I did not get the briefing on that. I will this morning.”

Poor overworked Mike Johnson. Maybe the House of Representatives has a part-time role he can transition to.

I hear “Former Representative” pays pretty well.

    Imagine working a 22 hour day and never getting briefed on the fact that another one of your nazis cut someone down in the street, and using it as a defense.

      Last few days, so less than a typical workload for most americans. And still complaining about being overworked.

      No, he said 22 hours over the “last few days.” That’s at least 3 days, which is slightly more than 7 hours per day. And if it means 4 days, it’s a part-time job. Hes not exactly killing it out there, and the results show it.

      When will his AI assessment be ready? Because I think I can predict that it will indicate that he can be replaced easily.
