That would be a pretty dishonest commercial, because Biden had nothing to do with the father getting arrested. That was entirely on House security - Mike Johnson. |
Jane L. Campbell, president of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, told CNN "the Speaker of the House does not oversee security of the U.S. Capitol, nor does this official oversee the Capitol Police Board." Capitol Police spokesperson John Stolnis told USA TODAY that the agency is overseen by the Capitol Police Board. Several congressional committees also oversee the agency, including the House and Senate appropriations committees, the House administration commitee and the Senate rules committee. The Capitol Police Board is made up of the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, as well as the Capitol architect. The Capitol Police chief serves in a non-voting capacity on the board, according to the Capitol Police website. https://www.uscp.gov/the-department/oversight/capitol-police-board |
The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is the federal agency responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of the United States Capitol Complex. It is an agency of the legislative branch of the federal government[1] and is accountable to the United States Congress and the Supreme Court.[2] Both the agency and the head of the agency are called "Architect of the Capitol". The head of the agency is appointed to a 10-year term by the president of the United States, confirmed by the United States Senate,[3] and is accountable to the president.[4]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architect_of_the_Capitol The chief engineer who stepped in as acting architect of the Capitol in the wake of a scandal almost a year ago plans to return to just her previous role as soon as this week, according to three sources familiar with the move. Chere Rexroat took over the top position in February 2023 after President Joe Biden fired the previous leader of the agency, J. Brett Blanton, for a wide range of transgressions. In the ensuing months, Rexroat forced out five top aides, who have since filed discrimination complaints against the agency that paint a picture of bitter office strife among the agency leadership. So the “Architect of the Capitol” is accountable to Biden, hired and fired by the president. |
The Mike Johnson defense has been deboonked.
Bring in the next lie to defend Biden, stat! |
The guy broke the law, plain and simple. No further defense needed. |
It's an extraordinarily weak, non-sensical line of attack, but I appreciate that's all you got. Carry on. |
Read the comments. |
+1, it's sad when the MAGAs figure out that there are laws and those laws get applied to them. FAFO. |
Normal human beings get sick to their stomachs watching a bunch of smug politicians clapping for themselves while a Gold Star Father is arrested for reminding them to remember Abbey Gate and the United States Marines who died there. |
Lying that Mike Johnson was in charge of Capitol police repeatedly to pretend a republican was responsible for the shameful arrest of a Gold Star Father who yelled “Abbey Gate” and “United States Marines.” What a terrible man for reminding our government of the consequences of their actions. |

Just last year, the House GOP proposed cutting Veterans healthcare benefits by 22% until Democrats called them out on it. But keep trying to show that your side actually cares about veterans other than as props to score a few political points. |
Biden can disrespect these Marines and their families, who gives a crap about the Capitol? The Capitol would not even be a thing if our Military didn’t do the dangerous work of defending our country. If you think regular Americans are ok with the arrest of a Gold Star dad for shouting Abbey Gate and United States Marine Corp, you will lose this November and you can blame yourselves for being arrogant pricks. You deserve to lose. |
Take it up with the Speaker of the House! Biden is literally a guest in his chamber!! |
Can you read? The speaker isn’t in charge of Capitol police. |
