@LaNaehForaday And Hitler was aiming to take over the entire world. So we’ll end the conversation.

At 3:30, a reporter asks Speaker-elect Mike Johnson, “you helped lead the efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Do you—“

She was cut off as House Republicans booed and shouted, “Shut up! Shut up!”

The other reporters let their colleague get shouted down by these goons and then immediately asked if he’s confident he can get 217 votes on the floor.

Who cares about our democracy when there are important process questions to be asked?

@LaNaehForaday Or maybe I actually know what’s happening. Where are your sources for the roundup and extermination of Palestinians?

@LaNaehForaday Maybe you just don’t understand the word genocide then. Because Israel is not routing out every Palestinian in the state. That was the Nazi method.

House Democrats absolutely should not vote for anyone as Speaker who voted to overturn the results of the last Presidential election.

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA).

Talk about the banality of evil!

From @capitolhunters 🔥 Let's hope every GOP Representative in a competitive district realizes that Speaker candidate Mike Johnson was a litigator for the Christian advocacy group ADF that tried to overturn both the US election (with Johnson playing a key role) and Roe v Wade. 1/

Note from me: ADF is Flynn's baby and is the fastest growing scariest religious sect in the U.S. right now.....read @jennycohn ...she posts on it and writes about it in the Bucks County Beacon....very important work!

@CapitolHunters : The NYT explains how Johnson persuaded House Reps to vote to overturn the election on Jan 6. 3/4 of election deniers cited Johnson's arguments; he gave the "moderates" the excuse they needed to do something dirty. That's how fascism starts. No paywall 10/

@LaNaehForaday If they’d truly chosen genocide, they’d have rounded up all the Palestinians in the country and killed them. You do realize, don’t you, that Palestinians live in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and every other city in Israel? @w7voa

When people draw battle lines and divide people into "us" and "them" it makes it very, very difficult to navigate the space to actually get anything done.

Reporter just now on #NPR, about their crazy house speaker vacancy: "this mess makes them look incompetent."

Would argue that it "reveals" their incompetence would be more accurate. There's no illusion involved.

Seriously, dude. You followed me from six different accounts? Was that really necessary? I’m not following them all back. Pick one that might interest me.

House Republicans nominate Tom Emmer and Mike Johnson in special Two for Tuesday House Speaker special.
