| Tucker Carlson on Speaker Mike Johnson's Betrayal: ‘There Is Something Profoundly Wrong' |
| 2024-12-22 |
| [Breitbart] "There is something profoundly wrong," Tucker Carlson said when discussing the latest actions of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who soured many conservative allies after initially offering a 1,547-page spending bonanza and ultimately handing the Democrats a win. Eduardo Neret, a former producer for Carlson and a conservative commentator, brought up the disastrous spending bill negotiated by Johnson, which essentially thrust Johnson’s future Speakership in the air. "On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, right before Christmas, he tried ... to shove through a 1,500 page spending bill that would have given Chuck Schumer all of the leverage with the debt ceiling going into next year," Neret said. "I mean, there was a lot more than that in the bill, but, I mean, I guess the point is, like, what’s up with that?" he asked. "There’s something profoundly wrong," Carlson began, noting that on top of that, Johnson’s number one priority, seemingly, has been funding Ukraine. "I don’t understand it exactly, but I watched him make the number one priority of his Speakership funding Ukraine without any audit at all, at a time when the U.S. border was open, the United States itself was being invaded, and his priority was protecting the borders of a country whose language he doesn’t speak, he knows nothing about; it’s not America," Carlson continued, asserting that it is "not the only country that he’s — whose interest he’s put above ours." Carlson noted that such behavior could be described as treasonous. "And so, you know, I don’t overstate it. I think that’s a — it’s a kind of treason, yeah, and it’s very common in Washington," he explained, clarifying that Johnson is far from the only politician in D.C. who has operated that way. "He’s not the only one, but I, you know, once you see that, then you lose all faith in a man," he said of the Speaker, lauding Elon Musk for blasting the original deal on social media and essentially stopping it. "I wasn’t shocked by what happened, but I was very pleased to see Elon Musk just, just basically stop it singlehandedly, which is amazing," he added: Related: Tucker Carlson 12/20/2024 Georgia Court Removes Fani Willis from Trump Case over Relationship with Special Prosecutor Tucker Carlson 12/19/2024 Court disqualifies Willis from Georgia election case against Trump Tucker Carlson 12/19/2024 How Tucker Carlson blocked 'warmonger' from becoming Trump's defense secretary Related: Mike Johnson 12/21/2024 House passes government funding bill after Elon Musk's drama with Speaker Mike Johnson Mike Johnson 12/21/2024 Scott Jennings Drops the Mother of All Truth Bombs on CNN Mike Johnson 12/20/2024 Speaker Johnson: We have a new plan |
