Supporters of President Trump have slammed Speaker of the House Mike Johnson for failing to stand up for him and acting like a scolded child when a screeching Democrat got in his face and declared Trump to be “unhinged.”
Johnson was apprehended by Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA)who unloaded on him about Trump’s behaviour, in front of TV cameras.
“The president is unhinged. He is unwell,” Dean alleged, to which Johnson offered no pushback at all, barely managing to utter “A lot of folks on your side are, too…I don’t control–” before tailing off.

“Oh my God, please!” Dean snapped back, adding “That performance in front of the generals–” referring to Trump’s speech to military top brass earlier this week.
“I didn’t see it,” said Johnson, attempting to slime his way out of the heated exchange.
Dean also demanded that Johnson denounce the meme video Trump shared mocking House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) with a Sombrero, a mustache and a Mariachi band.
“It wasn’t my style,” Johnson meekly responded, prompting Dean to explode “Not your style? It’s disgraceful. It’s racist. You should call it out.”
“Is it racist? You put a sombrero on a Black man who’s the leader of the House. You don’t see that as racist? We need you desperately to lead,” Dean screeched as Johnson slouched away.
The way Johnson handled this deranged Democrat has not played well among Trump’s base.
Hmm…would like to see the entire video of this exchange because in this short clip, Johnson says “…your side too,” thus not defending POTUS Trump but agreeing. Then, he also doesn’t defend Sec. of War, Hegseth’s military speech. Not good @SpeakerJohnson

Not "too," Mr. Johnson. Should have ended the sentence a word sooner.

'too' implies she's correct about him… ?????????

I'm sorry but I'm more disgusted with his weak response to her gas lit insane remark than her gas lit remark.

JC stop letting them talk to you that way.
If they can do it to YOU, its no wonder they do it to us, every time they get in front of a camera.
FFS, Mike…

The correct answer is not to tacitly agree the president is unhinged you spineless waste…
Could Johnson be more gutless?

Johnson’s feeble response to Dean’s aggressive confrontation underscores a troubling lack of resolve that has frustrated many within the Republican Party, particularly among Trump’s steadfast supporters.
Rather than standing firm and defending the former president against Dean’s inflammatory accusations, Johnson wilted under pressure, offering only a weak deflection before retreating from the exchange entirely.
His inability to muster a coherent or forceful rebuttal, paints a picture of a leader unprepared to weather the kind of intense political skirmishes that define today’s arena. For a party base that values boldness and loyalty, Johnson’s performance comes across as soft, feeding perceptions of him as a leader who crumbles when faced with Democratic theatrics.
This incident only amplifies concerns about Johnson’s capacity to lead with conviction, especially when contrasted with the fiery resolve Trump’s supporters expect from their champions.
Johnson sidestepped an opportunity to either defend Trump’s provocative humor or articulate a principled stance. Instead, he allowed Dean to dominate the exchange, leaving the impression of a leader who prioritizes avoiding conflict over standing up for his party’s figurehead.
This display of weakness risks alienating the GOP base, who see in Johnson a troubling lack of the tenacity needed to counter the Democrats’ relentless attacks and rally support for Trump’s agenda.

..once again, the typical RiNO behaviour/response rears its ugly little head. next time, Dean should wear a little more leather and bring along her riding crop.
From his body language, it looked to me like Mike Johnson had better things to do than interface with yet another Democrat clown and just wanted to get back to more important business. These MAGA complainers ought to show some unity and support him instead of always forming a circular firing squad under pressure.
Yea the little Johnson was probably getting those j-6 videos ready for release as he promised lol.
Too much being a gentleman. The women in the Democrat party aren’t ladies, they’re activist and everything they say or do has to do with pushing their ideology. Treat them accordingly. Don’t believe the acts of being upset or even their tears.
Exactly, the only thing worse than a whining “Lib” is a backstabbing whining MAGA who can’t seem to ever find a House leader they like. I resent being called a “MAGA” when I was a conservative when the term was invented by Russell Kirk long before these raving MAGA caricatures were even born.
There are times when the whole Ned Flanders act is inappropriate. This was one of them.
Is that the same mike who ran to kiss wall in jisrael with 250 other congressmen this summer and closed congress early to avoid a bill on releasing the epstein files….lol. Between the aipac money and the kissing the fort antonia wall, its hard to tell the difference between the dems and the reps really. Almost two cheeks of the same arse really. I wonder will US citizens grow a pair of balls…hmmmm.
You mean gutless drunken pub balls like yours?
Tell me why the UK is going to socialist hell.
Im not british and dont live in the uk….lol. Try again!
