Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., joined « America’s Newsroom » Friday to react to Biden’s State of the Union address, saying the speech was hard to sit through.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Friday that « the state of the union is in decline » following the State of the Union address by President Biden.
Johnson joined « America’s Newsroom » to explain why he believes America is headed in the wrong direction despite the statements made by the president.
« We cannot have four more years of this. We will lose the Republic, » he told anchors Dana Perino and Shannon Bream, arguing that the country is seeing declines in the economy and national sovereignty due to an « open border, » along with declining security on the streets and a lowered « stature on the world stage. »
Johnson said he is still « shaking his head » over the president’s speech and described it as « hard to sit through. »
« A hyper-partisan speech that was just full of information that everyone in the room knew was not true, » said Johnson.
Johnson responded to Biden calling out Republicans who did not support the bipartisan border bill.
« That bill did not solve the problem, and everybody knows it. »
« We passed H.R.2 our now famous bill, 10 months ago, and it had five separate important provisions. And they all work together. You have to fix the asylum problem, the broken parole system. You got to reinstate Remain in Mexico, and you have to end catch and release. That’s what’s putting all these dangerous people out into our communities. And then rebuild the wall, continue building the wall.
