Mike Johnson Showed His Love for Trump at the Trial. It Didn’t Convince His Haters.

“Everybody hates” Mike Johnson, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said after the speaker attended former President Donald Trump’s trial.

If Speaker Mike Johnson’s appearance at Donald Trump’s criminal trial on Tuesday was intended to cozy up to the former president and make it harder for his GOP dissenters to eject him from the House, Johnson’s detractors weren’t convinced.

When NOTUS asked Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday night if she would be laying off Johnson after he showed up to Trump’s trial, the answer was an emphatic no.

“Why was the speaker of the House at a state trial?” Greene asked.
