Speaker Mike Johnson 'says the quiet part out loud' on protection program
Mike Johnson: “If we lose the midterms, the Democrats will go after the president’s family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, and the rest of you who have committed crimes.”
Jill, MA Leguminati 🫘 ✍️50At least he’s admitting they are all criminals. 🤷🏼♀️
Luca43The bare minimum is going after everybody commiting crimes. And this should be alarming? Is this guy just kidding or what else?
Melinda here 4 the defeat of evil 🛑 this shit 💙🤬30Everyone he has ever invited to a party 🎈 Everyone he pardoned His ( not) Supreme Court His bank accounts His hotels His restored gift Jet All his golf courses The pillow guy And his fuckin pool man
🇨🇦-Daric-♻️29Saying the quiet part out loud is the theme of 2026
SarahBCalif25Yep. That’s the plan. Thanks Mikey.
jgal57.bsky.social18Hey, he got something right!
Covid cave dweller4Like everyone that has committed crimes 😳 Imagine that
Four Legs Good3Maybe they shouldn’t have been doing all that criming. Just a thought
Hoyt2Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Freethinker2Wow, trumps johnson keeps putting out DNC ads.
Grace2Challenge accepted! We’re counting down the days until we drag every last one of you into congressional and impeachment hearings. 🇺🇸
If Republicans maintain their majority in Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson intends to spend the next two years running an anti-oversight “protection program” for the White House and its allies. I’m honestly a little surprised he admitted this out loud and in public. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
FemPowerhouse34The protection program for child rapists. The whole Republican Party needs to be purged from office.
Mike Meraz 👨🏻💻14So... next 2 years same as the first 2.
helchose.bsky.social12It's like if Nixon said "I'm sending burgulars to break into the DNC headquarters and steal documents and I will protect the burgulars from prosecution because I control the DOJ and I will quash any investigation into my crimes."
stopdropendfascism.bsky.social6I’m glad he admitted this out loud because because it’ll help with his prosecution
kate411.bsky.social5An enemy to the Country.
Seeing Stars3Jesus weeps at the loyalty Mike Johnson shows the antichrist and his minions. Shielding criminals from investigation? Thats the new Moses?
Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)78Mike Johnson is fully embracing the mafia politics of Trump
Ali Davis43What I thought Trump & co had on Mike Johnson cannot possibly be even close to what they actually have on Mike Johnson.
J6 Plaque18He’s running on this, so Dems should definitely run on accountability
Jeff Lazarus16It’s been glaringly obvious for a while that Johnson views his job as advancing Trump et al’s interests, even to the point of subverting and abandoning Congress’s Article I authority. Saying it on the record, though, is an insane mask off moment.
David Brace7I'm only surprised that he didn't say "protection racket."
Lane Stellmaker7why shouldn't he? What is anyone going to do about it?
Christopher Howell3GOP congress running a protection racket sounds very small town council corruption scheme.
Michael Bazemore2Rage on Behalf of the Machine
Dix2For a party that complained a lot about "The Deep State" and then said they were "the most transparent administrations in history", they're sure doing a lot of hiding shit and running interference on transparency/accountability...
𝕖𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕚𝕟2Don't fret precious I'm here Step away from the window Go back to sleep Pay no mind what other voices say They don't care about you Like I do Like I do Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils See they don't give a fuck about you Like I do youtu.be/TmWhY_irAXE?...
Trump just called democratically elected Democrats "animals" as he planted the seeds to steal the midterms; MAGA Mike said he runs the "protection program" for Republicans, new Epstein subpoenas, and more. Your midday recap is here:
Andrew20Pointing out that Trump and the GOP are going to steal the midterms is useless. We know they are. No one is seemingly doing anything to stop them so maybe we need to stop pointing out the obvious and work to stop them from doing so.
carelesswhisperer.bsky.social13The animal kingdom is far more noble than MAGA.
@SuzanaD313That's all they're worried about. Not their constituents but going to prison. They should be
Henry Nontel8I wonder if the French nobility were completely shocked and unprepared when the common folk started dragging the guillotines out into the streets...
nchmg.bsky.social8If Wee Johnson is their protection, they have a problem.
trickledownfailed.bsky.social7Not the first time Trump has called Dems, animals. Ignore him.
Mike Johnson: Democrats "will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends, half of you in this room will be targeted." "I run the protection program. We'll take care of you, OK?"
reneedodson.bsky.social35So admits they’re all criminals
DAPPER DON DHARSHI21I don’t think Mike Johnson is Moses, but I’d be happy to put him out in the desert and let him wander around for 40 years
Austin20Don’t threaten me with a good time. 🥂
grannydoodle.bsky.social6Sounds like his mob boss.
p.brookshire4Do the Dems have to count this as a campaign contribution?
Brady United Against Gun Violence, NY3Alarms should be going off that Mr Johnson, acting as a state official, suggested he would protect his party from all investigations, (it doesn’t appear to matter to him if that involves criminal conduct or not), and that as a state official,
Tea Pain231Best Democrat platform in years!
Khashoggi's Ghost116The obvious solution to this "problem" is for the president to stop being a walking crime spree, but that's not going to happen.
Rhuta Bhayga9Is this an article by The Onion?
Rev. Magdalen4Mike, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to openly say "this is a protection racket." Rookie mistake.
Admitting to serving as a protection program for Trump & Co. is bold, even for Johnson. He's parroting whatever paranoid Trump told him in that meeting yesterday. If Ds regain control it's a promise to do that list of things...& more. ⚠️👉🏼 Alert to Ds: Rs excel at blame shifting. 📺 t2m.co/CLxQZWyN
Blucas3Start doing your job and stop doing those things that would require you to be investigated.
Dems did nothing last time. We need SCHUMER gone
HolyGuacamole2!2"IF" we lose? No, Mikey, WHEN you lose. Republicans are going to be fleeing the country. Better alert our allies to watch their airports.
Patricia Lusto2Like he's a fucking mob boss.
Anfield772Admitting to your crimes, first step in becoming a state’s witness and seeking witness protection status.
brettroad.bsky.social2Well, he’s right. If the Dems win the House they should actively and aggressively shut down the most corrupt administration in history starting at the top.
Mike Johnson vows to protect Republicans from investigations in the 2026 midterms: "I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you." I’ll keep saying it till it’s in everyone's mind: The coup has already happened & they plan to stay in power by any means. They will steal the election.
murderedbybluesky.bsky.social8Watergate wouldn't even be in the news cycle for two days under this Trump admin. In fact, it probably is happening again. AKA Trump and his crime family spying on the DNC and political rivals, and then covering up and destroying evidence. They've openly admitted to it.
Jonathan ❌👑🌮3Don’t worry pedophiles, the Keebler Nazi has your back.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW1He should be the first to be arrested after the midterm.
