Raskin: There has ‘never been a more humiliating subjection of the Speaker of the House’

I mean, there has never been a more humiliating subjection of the speaker of the House of Representatives in American history than what we’re living through right now. The Times is reporting the president is asking DOJ to pay him 230 million for his past cases. Is that appropriate considering it’s a department under his control? I I’m not going to comment on something I haven’t read, so I’m I’m not sure what you’re talking about. How comfortable are you with the president apparently seeking $230 million from the Department of Justice? Uh I I don’t know the details about that. I I’m I’ve just read it. I didn’t talk with him about that. I didn’t talk to him about that. That is a ve that sentence to me is very telling and very important because what it says is I was not told what to say. Yeah. Right. Like if if I if someone’s asked me a question after I read an article, I’m probably going to have an opinion about it. You probably would have an opinion about it. I don’t have to talk to the about the subject talk to the subject of that article to have formed an opinion in my adult brain. Well, at least Trump’s allowing him opinions sometimes because Trump the other day said, “I am the president and the

  3. Of course he knows about it! If he just says ridiculous, nithing comments like that, he doesn't have to answer. No one will force him to speak publicly on it while he allows it to happen. He has no accountability. None of them do until the people Make them accountable

  5. Thank you Sen Raskin… this administration is a joke.. and you guys are right, Johnson doesn't dare speak without being told what to say!!!

  6. Trump is such a crook. He doesn't seem to realise how history is going to record him. The worst ever president, most corrupt, immoral and unethical. Several degrees worse than Nixon. He can smear, threaten and lie now but he can't change the way he's written about once he's gone. Fool.

  9. He knows their SECRETS ‼️they will bow down 🥵🤥🤑🤥🥵 paid to lie is going to eventually end 🥵🤑😵‍💫🥵🤥

  15. The entire republican party is a freak show performance donald trump wants America to pay him $230,000,000 dollars when he is on the Golf ⛳️ course more than he's ever in the white house how ridiculous is that?

  16. And that's who is paying for the massive 999 seat ballroom… You and I, tax payers! IMPEACH TRUMP, DRAIN THE MAGA SWAMP INCLUDING PROJECT 2025 MAGA REICH!

  25. Hey, this is EXACTLY what less than 1/3 of Americans voted for! Maybe next time, if there is a next time, the other 2/3 will GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND VOTE!

  28. Johnson is a full born coward peice of sh.t.. They are doing nothing to stop Trump and his cult from all this. They always bring up knowing the law and our ammendments they don't respect neither and democrats are showing weakness by allowing all this … Republicans having the power is bulshit they still can be stopped if breaking the law and dealing with corruption and all else. People are doing more by protesting then what the congress is doing to stop this.. NO KINGS

  30. What exactly is Johnon getting paid for? He doesn'know much,continues to tell all of us a bunch of pathological lies and is deliberately stopping the house from getting on with business

  31. But yall should have believe the truth before you voted him in to stop Kamala. There were others you could have voted for that wasn't black and Democrat, and did not want to be a King or Dicktator. Now look at the mess America is going through. May God help America. We are in big beautiful trouble.

  32. Yall should have not voted him in. Yall sole yall Soul to the devel for to Stop Kamal, Democrats, Black and you bought a bid Beautiful Dictator and Beautiful Bill and King. And ignorance all over America to bring back Slavery.

  36. Given trust in Media is lowest in years, understand Speaker not responding even if he knew. The people will understand.
    Independent for some time, voted both parties, know, carries if the people no longer trust Media. Staff inflicted destruction, sad development.

  44. It’s so unfortunate that the speaker postures himself as a weak man with zero voice. At this point his position has become irrelevant.

  45. The answer they always give is they haven’t heard about it.

    Yet mainstream media has been reporting on those “unread” subjects for a very long time.

    I’m starting to think it wasn’t the “lame stream” media and the politicians hiding from said media all along.

    What Trump and Johnson are doing is nothing short of yet another coup attempt by not swearing in a duly elected official.

    Where are all the other Republicans out there calling a spade a spade? Oddly enough MGT and Massie are the only real leaders in today’s MAGA GOP.

  48. He is supposed to be the Speaker of the people and yet says the quiet part out loud.

    Like a bad 1960s robot. Do your robot voice when reading; “I Mike Johnson cannot compute, waiting for instructions from my overlord. My overlord Donald J Trump…….low battery. “ <powering down >.
