A woman tried to speak. Mike Johnson steps up to explain that she didn't mean what she said

Much to the chagrin of Republican leadership, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins delivered a rare level-headed missive Friday for Americans struggling with expiring SNAP benefits.

“My message to America is first, the fact that your government is failing you right now,” Rollins told reporters. “That poverty is not red or blue, it is not a Democrat or Republican issue. Doesn’t matter who you voted for or even if you voted. That if you are in a position where you can’t feed your family, and you’re relying on that $187 dollars a month for an average family in the SNAP program, that we have failed you.”

But that was a politically unsavory appeal for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who immediately jumped into recovery mode, attempting to twist Rollins’s words to fit the party message.

“And it’s, um, clarified that when she says, ‘We have failed you,’ she means, ‘We the Democrats,’ OK?” Johnson said.

No, that's "oh no, she didn't tell the lie I told her to tell, now I have to tell it."

I do not feel bad for her. What did she expect?

Johnson is a total embarrassment to America. Instead of letting the house meet and try to reach a compromise, he won’t open it. But they are getting paid. Republicans only know how to troll, not govern.

At least she is acknowledging the hardship people are going to experience. Yes, she is tainted because she is in the Trump administration but good for her to express the truth of what’s going on!

Don’t give her any credit. She is just as heartless as them all. Check out the FNS website to see what she really thinks. She DGAF about SNAP recipients.

Yes, I know but she made Johnson uncomfortable and squirm. Anything that mildly annoys Johnson makes me happy.

It’s amazing that Johnson can speak at all with Trump’s d*ck in his mouth.
