Did Republicans even hassle to vet this man?
Rep. Mike Johnson was a back-benching no person till he was abruptly elected speaker of the Home. Due to his low profile, you’d anticipate Republicans to have vetted him extra. Alas. By the hour, it appears, new data retains effervescent up about his lengthy historical past of bigotry and deep involvement with a conversion therapy-backing “ex-gay” group that launched a marketing campaign to bully LGBTQ+ youngsters.
If that weren’t sufficient, Johnson’s private funds at the moment are underneath scrutiny. In monetary disclosures, the Johnsons have reported for years that they’ve no savings accounts, no checking accounts, and no retirement accounts. Evidently, pink flags abound.
Johnson is now pushing his Israel support bundle, which is DOA within the Senate because it tries to offset the aid with multibillion-dollar cuts to the IRS’s beefed-up tax enforcement. The problem right here? The offsets are pointless because the objective of the elevated tax enforcement was to herald income that the IRS misplaced to tax cheats. A commissioner from the IRS mentioned that taking away such funding from the IRS may improve the deficit by as much as $90 billion over the following 10 years. So much for fiscal responsibility. And are we actually purported to be lectured on monetary duty from a man who allegedly doesn’t actually have a primary checking account?
