Speaker Johnson says new disaster relief funds "can wait" until Congress is back in session

House Speaker Mike Johnson diverted from answering questions about violence after the election, saying the "greater issue" is with election integrity. "There's a lot of great work that's been done at the federal, state and local level to prevent the chaos that ensued after 2020, the COVID election year," Johnson said.

Sorry, Speaker Johnson, but we remember how you voted Not to certify 2020, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@walterhorn5567]

@flugsven And just think how much better off we would be without this disaster of an administration

[@flugsven]

@@walterhorn5567 In Europe we think it looks pretty good over there. There was a pandemic, remember? Do you Really think that wouldn't affect the economy? Your economy got a soft landing. To get more bills theough to help people afford to live and eat, we would need both a Dem Congress and a Dem Senate, because MAGA party is refusing to cooperate and as the political system works, the parties need to cooperate to get antyhing done. You sure know this.
