The House of Representatives has a new Speaker, and that person is Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was not happy about that whatsoever, which means the Republicans made a solid choice.
At last, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives successfully elected the 56th Speaker of the House on Wednesday afternoon following multiple rounds of unsuccessful ballots and withdrawn nominations, selecting Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to lead the lower chamber.
The final roll-call vote saw Johnson land 220 votes while Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) received 209. Needing only a simple majority, Johnson easily secured his victory as previous opposition to House Republicans' speaker-designees vanished entirely on the first ballot of Johnson's bid.
Up next in the bullpen of triggered Democrats is Rep. Adam Schiff, who as usual brought with him a lot of BS but zero self-awareness:
You might be Googling who Mike Johnson is this morning.

Let me make it simple:
Johnson is a hard-right, pro-Trump, leading election denier in the House.
Sadly, this is what passes for Speaker material in the Republican conference.
This guy's as shameless as they come. And speaking about election lies...
Gonna bring that Russia collusion proof you claimed you had public anytime?

When it comes to "election denial" Schiff can either take ALL the seats:

Or better yet Schiff should go have a chat with the person he voted for to be Speaker:
Hakeem Jeffries, meet Hakeem Jeffries

As a matter of fact, Schiff should save his lectures for just about every Democrat:

"Election denial" and/or "election interference" criticism from these Democrats is 100 percent pure projection.
