Coup smoking gun: See GOP’s new speaker admit plot to hide Trump fans’ faces from prosecutors
As Trump’s critics warn of his authoritarian impulses, GOP Speaker Mike Johnson says he wants to “blur” Jan. 6 video so rioters aren’t “charged by the DOJ.” MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the “largest law enforcement scandal to hit the Republican Party’s new House Speaker,” and is joined by Political Strategist Chai Komanduri.

Well…………Hoody Doody is at it again. Is it a little suspicious that Mike Johnson from Lousiana has not trace of a "drawl".

So Trump is paying off Chinese mafia and using cyber computers through Steve Bannon anybody with the freedom caucus there’s nobody named Q that is Marjorie Taylor Green pretending she’s cute. She has a voice changer. Sounds crazy but it is real.

Just like Trump is getting Vietnamese hackers to hack YouTube with some girl that does knitting and never ends on the major networks they cut the stream and show her all the time. She’s so poor she couldn’t get in trouble. So if you see her on your screen report her For interfering with MSNBC and other major news outlets. It’s cyber warfare by Republicans.

I guess that transparency is not part of his vocabulary. I thought that the Republicans were the law and order people. If this was BLM do we believe that these folks would work so hard to protect their identity.

Dont listen to Liz Cheney whos trying to land a night gig on tv and is pushing her book right now. She didn't do us any favors, is 100% anti-abortion, still pushing extreme right wing policies and voted with Trump 98%!
Don't forget the daddy Cheney and Bush destruction!

The Bible says in the last days the anti christ (Trump) will rise and be supported by the false prophet (Mike Johnson) many will be fooled by their words and deeds.

Since the Democrats have not gotten rid of presidential pardons, we can see both sides are very corrupt.
Demand change!
But also know what needs to be changed so that everyone is treated equally!

The GOP is supposed to be pro law enforcement. They had a fit when there was talk of defunding the Police. Johnson is worse than McCarthy.

Mike Johnson is deep rooted in believing as most hard right believe thar the US is a Christian nation. Media I beg you to show these people we aew just the opposite.The First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from establishing an official religion.
It also prevents the government from favoring one religion over another.
The Establishment Clause is part of the First Amendment's freedom of religion. The other part is the Free Exercise Clause.
The Establishment Clause states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".
