Democrats only needed to flip three seats to gain the majority in the House — they picked up 44 in a massive GOP shellacking

House Speaker Mike Johnson has blasted voters for making the “wrong choice” on Election Day last week.

Donald Trump, Johnson and other Republican leaders were tasked with keeping the majority in Congress, but despite their best efforts, Democrats swept the midterms in a defeat so crushing that it was dubbed a blue tsunami.

Johnson shared regret for the GOP’s shellacking, but not the blame. Instead, the Republican leader pinned it on the Americans who voted against his party on Tuesday.

When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill Monday whether Trump needs to “course correct” after the midterm losses, Johnson said, “I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”

Congress, especially the House has been full on fucking clown shoes for 2 years and this spineless piece of shit is saying the Dems will bring a circus? The guy who could barely get his seat and hold it? The guy speedrunning the line to kiss trumps diapered ass?

Johnson is admitting (after his own fashion) that the Dems are likely to investigate the everloving SHIT out of the GOP cronies and corrupt contributors (bribes and enrichments, oh my!) as well as lock down the budget until they get their way. So, you know.... stopping the circus the GOP brought to town.
