“Well of course — if we have a free, fair, and safe election, we’re going to follow the Constitution. Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely,” he said.
And who, if I may ask, just who makes that designation of free, fair and safe?
And what if members of your own party are the source of the not free, unsafe election, like minions attacking Dem-rich voting locations?
And what if members of your own party are the ones deciding to ignore the votes cast in their respective districts or States?
That’s a whole lot of garbage that, as one of the eminent leaders of your party, you should be squashing, not casting doubts about.

OT:
- Congress: The House passed a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown just ahead of the November election.
Anyone notice that this got absolutely nil publicity? Johnson isn’t doing things right. [/s]

That sentence could be read differently if you out a period earlier in it
“Well of course — if we have a free, fair, and safe election, we’re going to follow the Constitution. Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely”.
In a follow-up question, when asked if 2020 was fair, free, and safe, he (likely) replied “Absolutely Not.” So in other words, his party doesn’t believe in democracy anymore.

The only way Republicans will consider the election fair is if they suffer a crushing defeat. Get out the vote in evey state. Send the GOP an unmistakable message.

The Speaker of the House is apparently a terrorist, a coup-plotter, and a religious nut-bag wing-nut Jesus freak douche bag.

Lot’s of things that should be completely discussed and publicized and would be in the past are not these days because of how Donald Trump consumes all the attention often by just saying the outrageous to the point I am using the “outrageous” as a noun.
That is both Trump’s superpower and the challenge to the media that because of its inability to figure out has kept Trump so relevant and powerful.

I think I would replace “inablity” with “unwillingness.”

Mike Johnson is a wimp. It’s obvious. He will roll over like he did with the shut down threat. This is his pre-election chance to look like a tough guy which he aint.

…if we have a free, fair, and safe election, we’re going to follow the Constitution.
Another person who is disregarding the formal oath of office he swore to just under two years ago. What a foul pack of reprobates the GQP has become. Vote. Them. Out.
