'He is dangerous': Rep. Balint on the Trumpian threat Speaker Johnson poses to democracy
#Trump #MikeJohnson #Politics
The speaker has a responsibility to defend the constitution and the justice system, not the vanity of one man.
And the responsibility to believe the president is…the president…Biden. Johnson believes Trump is president
True, but he does support Trump also.
And that means he isn't doing his job. @@KathleenHolland-nk8nk
@@bellabunnell3174 🙄😒
@@bellabunnell3174 You don't know that for sure. And, it can't be easy having to work with Biden! I'm sure they disagree on some things.
Black Shirts - Brown Shirts - now Red Ties
Fun Fact, comrade : The Brownshirts and the Blackshirts both started as Socialists. College kids brainwashed to scream and shout at everyone who disagreed with the Narrative. Sound familiar? Now we have the Blue hairs, too.
@@jamesparker1071they were not socialists, they were national socialists, which has zero to do with socialism. Before you accuse others of being brainwashed, you should make sure your facts are right
Fun fact you don't understand what socialism is - as evidence by your false equivalence/analogy@@jamesparker1071
@@jamesparker1071aww you poor thing. It’s almost like you lost the entire part of history where the brown shirts murdered all their former socialist friends.
Go read some books cleetus.
@@jamesparker1071 i take it you graduated from trump U with a degree in european history..
Voting to keep Johnson as speaker wasn't about getting him to behave. That's laughable. It' about keeping chaos down. Long game. Vote 💙
I beg to differ. Trumpism purposefully creates chaos. Johnson has done nothing to quell it.
Why don't they vote to expel MTG? We all know it would be unanimous..
I am a proud constituent of Becca Balint and glad to hear one voice for truth and for the people.
Becca and you stay in Vermont. With your own kind.
Becca Balint is wonderful.

She is feeding you a company line while not making headway on abortion rights, voter rights or wages.
All those promises when she campaigned, not happening.
Νever underestimate how low the GOP can sink.
They’re planning on using violence against us.
It's the legal phase of the GOPs coup, because the Repub's anarchy and Sedition 2.0 at MAX speed! WAKE UP AMERICA & LEGACY MEDIA.
Mike's quiet demeanor has a lot of people fooled. The amount of power he has is dangerous to our country and the world.
Agree.
Everyone forgets that he is 3rd in line for the presidency!!!😳
We found out just how powerful the speaker is. She refused to protect the capitol on Jan 6. Not only that she sent her own faction to the capitol to cause chaos.
@@bdahl4002 That was Trump’s job.
That was never her job. That was Drumpf's. Which Pence ended up foing, since 45 didn't lift even a fat finger.
Thank you for speaking truth Rep. Balint! From one of your VT. constituents.
Bulshit artist😂😂
Johnson’s claims of Christianity fall cold on my heart. Christ is a lover. Not a Republican.
Try reading the Bible. Not for G&L.
@@emilydickinson-4206 Try listening to the Pope. He's saying what Republicans are doing is wrong.
Exactly @badlyniceness.
@@emilydickinson-4206
Looks like you missed a few parts~
Did Jesus support deportations from Judea?
Yeah but mike is a person of deep faith …he believes in the teachings of the Christian religion….he says …he is the one of them that Jesus warned us about ..false prophet….what a disgrace…..one day we too will be free from organized religion the root of all evil …deplorable was the right called and republicans keep proving her right ..over and over again ..
Johnson saw what happen to Kushner, and now he wants his 2 billlion.
Kushner needs to be investigated for getting 2 billion dollars
I agree with you. Johnson is a boot licking, butt kissing Trump lover.
Evangelical Christians gave their heart to Orange Jesus. They need to go back to regular Jesus.
Amen
Dont talk about Jesus because you're not ever meeting him with your beliefs..Nothing you stand for aligns with Jesus.
Can't believe YT didn't censor you. Cant say Jesus.
@@charlesfriscia7236 Oh no, poor guy, not getting to meet Jesus. what on earth did he do wrong?
@@charlesfriscia7236 You’re in an anti-Christian cult.
I've never seen such a fine collection of eager little tin soldiers.
This "Republican Chaos" is strategic, I'm convinced that they are doing this intentionally!
Why are they not arrested!! What is the hold up with your justice system 😡
You shoukd be arrested
Maybe because there’s no crime committed?
It’s clearly bought and fixed.
@steelheart4137 Witness tampering and witness intimidation. Along with being traitors to the constitution.
Waiting for a crime.
Imnl so tired of hearing about religion during political discussions. Keep your superstitions to yourself.
Separation of powers? Not in the semi-democracy of the US. Sure road to fascism, autocracy and theocracy.
One GOP said during a press interview that they will decide who (Trump) wins.
It was a big mistake to vote Trumph as President.
I still have some family ready to vote for him again. Ugh
Trump is great
YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS AREN'T EXACTLY THE SHARPEST TOOLS IN THE SHED. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR BIDEN. YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE TRAITORS TO AMERICA.

Green is simply not a serious politician. (Adult)
"White Supremacy is the greatest threat facing America"
Joe
He just said he was VP during covid and barack told him to fix it.
There are 260 million white people in the United States😂😂😂
@jeffhampton2767 So what? Most white Americans aren't white supremacists, and don't advocate for this conservative, white nationalist movement. But there are a lot of them in positions of power within the GOP who are setting the stage to make this country an authoritarian theocracy, literally the opposite of our founding fathers vision. They don't care about representative democracy. They would rather rule over the people than represent them.
Vote blue all the way for our Democracy
little johnson is a liar and a freak. Throw him in jail
For what ?
Get out of here Miss Nobody 😂😂😂
@@Dingleberry777 For breaching the gag order on behalf of Trump, that's what! He and others blatantly called Cohen a liar and it's up to the jury to determine the strength of the prosecution case; not Trump OR his flunkies.
@@jeffhampton2767 "Miss Noody" Nobody will miss you dummy.
And Gaetz with his "President Trump, we are standing back, and standing by." Wowsa. I hope Merchan fines or adds to Trump's sentence, should he be convicted.
The Judge is waiting his time until he has to hand down sentence to Trump if/when he is found guilty. IF Trump is found guilty, the Judge can then extend the sentence, due to the breach of the gag order and his bad conduct generally.
If trump had been disqualified the second he left the white house from running again we would not have to be going through any of this! If President Biden had done the things trump has done he would have been disqualified the second he left the white house!
Exactly. Even Brazil recently prevented their former president from running again when he got involved in election interference. America seems to be sleepwalking to the edge of a cliff.
I believe we are living through the end game of Newt Gingrich's 1990's Contract with America.
Impeach MTG! I know you don't have the vote. But it will go into the History Books that she was. And I know that will drive her crazier then she already is.
PROJECT 2025 IS WHY WE MUST VOTE BLUE NATIONWIDE IN 2024.

Thank you for speaking out
Every hypocrite in that clown car needs to be charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice.
A reminder to mega maga Mike, Jesus was a socialist.
And is being held in a cell at the Southern Border.
I hate when people say that. No, historically Jesus was not a socialist. This is one of the biggest strawman, you folks on that side like to tout for whatever reason. If you actually research the life and teachings of Jesus you would know he was pretty much a activist that terrified those in power. And Jesus real name was never Jesus, his real name was Yeshua of Nazarene.

The real frustrating part is that the other side does not acknowledge!
Those cult followers that all wore the same suit, shirt, and tie as Trump, is the most terrifying picture I have seen in years.
Wow. So many repetitive Putin talking points in these comments. You’d think there were paid troll farms or something. Oh wait…
tRumPutin trolls!
Are you a nut ???
CORRECTION, your the Troll
@@joancooney7724 Correction, it's "you're", not "your". Back to school tRumpkin.
The thing is, I'm not afraid of these people. If they hate the law, then so be it.
They are all cult members.
Shouldn’t have aided that snake in the first place.
True Christians who really love the teachings of Christ do not go around bragging themselves (like Johnson and his enablers) being religious and at the same time admonishing others. They are just hypocrites like the Pharisees.
The fact that the election is close, that should be the concern. Millions are accepting their behavior...
MTG is stuck in her angry 😡 Mean Girl Teenage persona!
Empty Green is the part of Trump's Golf Course where he looks around furtively and kicks his ball into the hole to achieve a Par.
The current GOP leadership roster needs a very urgent mass re-staffing to conform with the ideals of democracy and America's Constitution.
The crazies running the madhouse what could possibly go wrong!
These people are NUTS!
They shouldn't go low, don't engage her. Just say, "let the records show MTG has transgressed House Rules." over and over and over again. Do not go low.
If a citizen from one of those constituencies, needs help, would one of those protesting congressmen. / women , care , just, to talk to him / here for only a few seconds. ?!
Johnson was kept in to be able to get work done, not continue the chaos of the MAGA cons like MTG and others.
MTG needs to stay away from the "moonshine"
Yes, instead of speaking it!
I thought Mikey knew it's a sin to lie?
Not very biblical is it.
Wow, the Dems went from strongly defending Johnson to attacking him. Almost like it is not the party that matters, but what you say and do that counts....
Nice one!
Real Christians should vote for a man who actually goes to church and is a Christian. Vote blue 💙
It is interesting to watch the Republicans in Congress line up over the past few years to hand Trump their balls.
One GOP said during a press interview that they will decide who (Trump) wins.
See the woman cop. There's something wrong with this. The cop should be out of the picture for at least 2 reasons. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Not attacking cannon, alito or thomas.
Girls cat fight
AT A BAR
OVER A GUY
Those protesting congress members, they didn’t do it for free. Definitely, they expected something in return.
Make America great again
One only dresses like that when you’ve truly given up all your dignity in exchange for power and have given Trump your balls in a jar. Pathetic.
As a straight white male American 58-year-old who’s witnessed the past 50 years I’m right with you guys also
I'm with Jasmine.
The Democrats should nominate a democrat up for speaker and vote him/her in , they would only need between 5 to 10 republican votes,
If Marge was sincere about her motion to vacate, she would do it again. Dems won’t save the dude twice, not after displaying his sycophant behavior.
VOTE BLUE
Vote blue if you want to be blue. Everything costs more now.
No thanks. Voting Jill Stein. Voting Green Party.
@@EuroMaidanWasAnInsurrection let us know how that goes.😂
@@IsurvivedJan6 she's gonna lose. But she's still the correct choice.
@@williamgrant9167explain how things cost more because of Biden. I'll wait.
Troublesome Priest argument
Is it necessary to establish that Trump ‘directed’ these lick-spittles? It is irrelevant because simple reason says they would not have spontaneously done that without real or inferred approval from Trump. It is the old, “Can no one rid me of this troublesome priest” trigger to commit a crime.
What I want to know is why Wannabe Smarmy was a part of the group???? How did this NONrepresemtative get involved in this?
"In lieu of flowers, the Government of Iran requests memorials be sent to the Ivy League school of their choice"
Good picture of the clown patrol
The only Indian in town sticks out like a sore thumb.
And what type of Christianity does Mike Johnson practice?
But, but, but... Every single case gets booboo in the face of the Prosecutors
mike Lindell for speaker of the house American's lol.
He is a pretty diabolical angel face, we most fix this issue for once and for all in November.

Now Iran is celebrating
Johnson is as much a con man as Trump.
I don't buy the whole "I did it and NOBODY told me to do it" , where were they the last 3 trials? Ohh yeah, on those Trump didn't violate the gag order 10 times! 😂
Mike Johnson claims to speak to God. According to Christians God created all men equal, so if I also claim to speak to God my statement should be equally valid. This morning God said to me "Mike Johnson is full of sh*t". I don't have to prove God spoke to me, because you can't prove he didn't. As this is the basis of the entire Christian church I don't expect any argument.
Photo op for social media
Johnson wants to make Giliad a reality....
yes i call him gilead mike
Rinse, recycle and repeat.
Literally talking about stuff from a week and a month ago. So much happened this weekend that is more important than this.
If Trump was unfaithful to Melania, has he been unfaithful to Uncle Sam?

Johnson isn’t Christian. Read Galatians 5-22,23. Fruits of the Spirit. He doesn’t have any.
