Mr. Johnson Declares That Congress Should “Do The Right Thing”
Someone slipped pot gummies into the Congressional cookie jar
Just when I thought the world as we know it was about to end, House Speaker Mike Johnson called on Democrats to support his plan to pass a massive $90 billion-plus aid bill to give $60 billion to Ukraine, $26 billion to Israel including humanitarian aid for civilians in the conflict zones aka Gaza, and $8 billion in humanitarian aid to Indo-Pacific.
The New York Times reported that, in an interview on Fox News of all places, Johnson is reported to have said:
We’ve taken the Senate supplemental bill and we’ve improved the process and policy, and that’s a really important thing,” Every member gets to vote their own conscience.
And, that in a CNN interview shortly after, Johnson added:
We’re not the world’s policeman, but we’re going to do the right thing.
Do the right thing? Vote their conscience? On Humanitarian aid? Has Johnson gone mad?
Something tells me someone’s putting pot gummies in the Congressional cookie jar!
Nevertheless, Johnson plans the vote for Saturday.
Why, sometimes I’ve believed…
