Tucker Carlson on Speaker Mike Johnson’s Betrayal: ‘There Is Something Profoundly Wrong’Hannah Knudsen 21 Dec 2024
“There is something profoundly wrong,” Tucker Carlson said when discussing the latest actions of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who soured many conservative allies after initially offering a 1,547-page spending bonanza and ultimately handing the Democrats a win.
Eduardo Neret, a former producer for Carlson and a conservative commentator, brought up the disastrous spending bill negotiated by Johnson, which essentially thrust Johnson’s future Speakership in the air.
“On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, right before Christmas, he tried … to shove through a 1,500 page spending bill that would have given Chuck Schumer all of the leverage with the debt ceiling going into next year,” Neret said.
“I mean, there was a lot more than that in the bill, but, I mean, I guess the point is, like, what’s up with that?” he asked.
“There’s something profoundly wrong,” Carlson began, noting that on top of that, Johnson’s number one priority, seemingly, has been funding Ukraine.
“I don’t understand it exactly, but I watched him make the number one priority of his Speakership funding Ukraine without any audit at all, at a time when the U.S. border was open, the United States itself was being invaded, and his priority was protecting the borders of a country whose language he doesn’t speak, he knows nothing about; it’s not America,” Carlson continued, asserting that it is “not the only country that he’s — whose interest he’s put above ours.”
