'See no evil': Mike Johnson accused of 'shamelessly playing dumb' to protect Trump

Mike Johnson has been shameless in his attempts to play dumb in defense of Trump, according to one political analyst.

When MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) tried to oust Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) as House speaker in May 2024, she got a backlash not only from fellow Republicans, but also, from Democrats. The House voted 359-43 to keep Johnson as speaker, and many House Democrats — policy differences and all — helped save him from the fate that ousted ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) suffered.
