Mike Johnson served on Trumpâs defense team during the first Senate impeachment trial. While I presented facts and evidence about Trumpâs wrongdoings, Mike Johnson proudly parroted MAGA talking points to defend Trump. [Adam Schiff for Senate]( Team, after 22 painstaking days, Republicans finally chose a House Speaker: MAGA Rep. Mike Johnson, who led the House effort to overturn the 2020 election results, also happens to have been a fierce opponent of my efforts to investigate and impeach Donald Trump. Tom Emmer voted to certify the 2020 election result. Johnson voted to overturn it. Thatâs why Emmer failed and Johnson became Speaker â the Big Lie was the litmus test, and every single MAGA Republican got behind him. When a reporter asked Johnson about leading the effort to overturn the 2020 election, Republicans at his back drowned out the question with boos and told the reporter to âshut up.â But our democracy cannot afford for us to âshut upâ or stay silent in the face of another Big Lie advocate taking control of a chamber of Congress. [Folks, this is another pivotal moment for the future of our democracy. Iâm personally asking you to rush in $10 to help me respond to an election denier becoming House Speaker.

As two senior members of the Judiciary Committee, Johnson and I have fought over a host of key issues from guns to immigration to his penchant for deep state conspiracy theories. Heâs anti-reproductive freedom. Anti same-sex marriage. And supports the gutting of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Thatâs just for starters. But honestly, thatâs most Republicans these days. Johnson is different because he was the lead architect behind House Republican efforts to overturn the 2020 election and still pushes out the Big Lie to this very day. But our run-ins long predate our service together on the Judiciary Committee, and go back to the first impeachment of Donald Trump. Mike Johnson served on Trumpâs defense team during the first Senate impeachment trial. While I presented facts and evidence about Trumpâs wrongdoings, Mike Johnson proudly parroted MAGA talking points to defend Trump. [Tweet from Rep. Mike Johnson: Our defense team has done its job. We've shown Adam Schiff & Co. have no case, no evidence, and no justification for impeaching a duly elected president. There's only one way this #ShamImpeachment ends -- with the full (and likely bipartisan) acquittal of @realDonaldTrump]( And just like Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and so many others, Iâve earned Mike Johnsonâs vehement opposition and attacks. And Iâm honored by it. [Speaker Mike Johnson is the most extreme House Speaker in the history of our country, and as a solid ally of Donald Trump we can count on him to join the corrupt former president in doing all he can to try to block me from making it to the Senate. I need you with me today to help me stand up to his MAGA extremism.
