Fundamentally he doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know what happened. He means that he hasn’t received his talking points about this yet.
He knows that there will be some way that the right-wing media ecosystem is going to frame this, and it’s very important that his framing match theirs exactly. Somewhere a think-tank is working on the perfect wording that will turn an innocent victim into, somehow, an evil communist traitor who was a threat to an ICE officer and also somehow to the very concept of America. And if he tried to give his own spin on it before that, it would only make their job more complicated.
So yeah, he may know that an innocent man was shot, again. But he doesn’t yet know the important stuff: how to make him the villain. He just hasn’t had the time to get caught up on that! Give him a break.
“You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours in the last few days and I did not get the briefing on that. I will this morning,” he added.
Not 22 hours in one day, but 22 hours in a few days. Which means at least 3 days, which means less than 8 hours a day. Mike Johnson’s concept of extreme hard work is less than the least demanding full-time job.
wow, that is some important context that the OP left out.
And in reality, he’s probably done his own ACTUAL job of legislating on behalf of the people MAYBE 22 hours in the last month if not year.
So you worked for 22 hours yesterday and no one brought it up?? What exactly were you doing for 22 hours?
I think we need him to start keeping a log of what he actually does, sounds like he is milking the clock in a broom closet.
More like “milking the broom in a storage closet” am I right?
Beating his high score in Solitaire.
“worked”
Worked*
*Jerked off to an L.L.Bean catalog
He’s literally trying to condescend while claiming incompetence.
If I could be this incompetent with his compensation package, I’d be an insufferably smug prick idiot too
That’s pretty much 90% of his public statements.
The rest are bigotry and weird bible interpretations, often at the same time.
He can condescend because he knows he can blatantly lie to the world and face no consequences for it. It is the arrogance of power.
“Follow up question, Mr. Speaker! Regarding that last half-a-dozen or so ICE agents that shot and killed people in various states of the union who didn’t have body cams. Does there need to be accountability? Surely you’ve heard about at least one of those killings by now?”
Something along the lines of: “I’ll need to look into the specifics of each of those before I can provide an answer“
You don’t look like you worked 22 hours Mikey you lying dipshit.
I doubt he’s worked 22 minutes.
If “working” means monitoring what kinds of porn his son watches, I might believe he put in 22 hours.
“Given the heavy makeup covering the dark circles under your eyes, how do you respond to allegations that you are transitioning? And will you be going by Michelle?”
22 hours so far in his life
Chill, Mike. Trump’s dick can only get so clean
Plus it’s just going to become filthy again when he shits his diaper again a couple hours (minutes?) later.
That’s why people are so hellbent on constantly cleaning it though. They know it requires constant maintenance.
Asshole knows more about his son’s masturbation habits than his god damn job
Please be more understanding, Mike Johnson was very busy monitoring his son’s porn activity. 😔
He has to be one of the least informed politicians in memory.
“Worked”.
Masturbated continuously.
Which he’s going to need to tell his son about.
He already knows. He was watching from his own phone.
Had to crank out a tribute to Lindsay.
Play the clipshow of Johnson not knowing about major news stories. Wonder what his record is for claiming total ignorance in a day.
I don’t know about any of that with the children
Edit, that is not a direct quote. That’s the vibe
I can’t wait for the day that fucking creepy dweeb gets some justice served up.
I had heard Johnson was dead along with Mitch and Lindsey.
Do his eyes look different than normal? Its suspicious that he doesnt know a damned thing thats going on in the US. Isnt representing people his whole effing job? I question his legitimacy. As the real Mike Johnson. The real Mike Johnson was also a slimey douche but he at least seemed to understand what was going on day by day.
Thats just a guy wearing glasses and a cheap suit. Look at the lady next to him. She doesnt beleive thats Mike Johnson either.
