If you know the truth is bad – lie. Got caught.
nothing this dude says means literally anything. He is an of-the-moment sycophant exchanging words in the press for political power and absolutely nothing more. He will be an obscure reference in exactly 10 years.
I know media is hesitant to say „lie“ because of legal reasons.
But he admitted it. He *lied*. You can say it.
Please, do a headline that says „Mike Johnson is a liar.“
Stop sugarcoating fascists.
So…. He lied
The speaker of the house knowingly lied to the American public to protect the pedophile in office and all others that fund him and his corrupt, bigoted and incompetent friends. Pedo patio anyone?
Tell that to all the influencers who just kissed the boots and made up a bunch of BS how it was the truth 24 hrs ago. Unreal.
>“The Speaker is reiterating what the victims’ attorney said, which is that Donald Trump—who kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago—**was the only one more than a decade ago willing to help prosecutors expose Epstein for being a disgusting child predator**,” Johnson’s office wrote in a [statement](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/07/trump-epstein-johnson-fbi/) to *The Washington Post.*
MAGA is holding onto this with dear life lmao. Fine, congress should subpoena this „attorney“ to see what Trump told him and how this „information“ exposed Epstein.
Grasping at a lie,
Finding out it wasn’t palatable to the cult
The screws are tightening around Johnson’s private parts.
The line of succession is Trump, Vance, and than this guy. We are in such dire straits.
Where is the ethics committee? I feel like blatant lies to shift an agenda in your favor should be punishable.
He was either lying then, or he’s lying now.
Have we ever heard a speaker of the house outright lie about a president’s criminal activity before? We’re all probably not freaking out about this, but we should be.
So cool that our elected officials can lie to us constantly, admit they lie to us constantly, and face zero repercussions for lying to us constantly.
So much for bearing false witness
Thou shalt not bear false witness.
So the ultra orthodox Christian who has an “accountability buddy” to stop him from looking at porn lied to 300 million Americans breaking one of God’s ten commandments “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
Dude seemed like he was having manic episode, or he was on drugs.
For a politically performative Christian, Mike Johnson sure does seem like he lies easier than he thinks, just as if the Bible didn’t have anything to say about lying.
This guy is a lying, obfuscating, slimy POS. Can’t stand this little twerp.
Religious man Johnson forgot the one – Thou shall not lie.
Mike Johnson is the Brick Tamland of the Trump administration. He’s a moron.
We need to remember these people are not savants, they win only because they’re backed by unlimited money and powerful people. They are not in themselves powerful people.
Admits to being a liar
What a weird dude.
Either he lied or he lied but accidentally said the truth, because I guarantee you Trump has dimed other people out in the past.
Mike Johnson is trying to push an amendment to the ten commandments through Congress. Something like: ‚Thou shalt lie when it’s convenient.‘
If Trump likes little girls, I speculate that Johnson likes little boys.
Thing is, I wouldn’t doubt that trump has been an asset of many intelligence agencies, foreign and domestic, for pretty much his entire adult life.
It goes a long way to explaining his plot armor, despite a long life of abundantly obvious criminality. For just one thing, gambling is tightly regulated. Bankrupting multiple casinos because you’re laundering so much illicit currency through them would ordinarily draw pretty considerable scrutiny. He had an in to Justice Dept by way of Roy Cohn.
Now, he was never an informant on Epstein. They were running that shop together.
Edit to add, it also provides an explanation for why trump is just so compromised by pretty much everyone on the global stage. He was a useful tool to a lot of users. It was a whole lot easier to rope the rich and famous and ambitious politicos into filthy shit to keep them in line than to do things like succeed at school or business.
It wasn’t nonsense.
Trump was implicated in trafficking girls and sold out Epstein to get away with it.
Micheal Wolff interviewed epstein and basically related a story that agreed with the original statement that johnson made, that trump turned in epstein for revenge.
[the initial tiff was a dispute over real estate, the the issue was that epstein was threatening to out trump for money laundering for russian interests and trump decided that was too big a risk, so got rid of epstein via these charges. ](https://www.al.com/politics/2025/07/trump-biographer-claims-presidents-betrayal-is-real-reason-for-falling-out-with-epstein.html)
I think that johnson was told in no uncertain terms to change his story and he did.
MAGA forgot to send him the memo.
Don’t do it Mike.
Who advises these idiots? Make shit up, then change, then change again. All credibility lost.
When you’re in what could amount to the third highest position in your country’s government, you should not be caught in lie after lie. Of course the top two shouldn’t either, but here we are.
They should just release the files and they wouldn’t have to lie about them.
Mike Johnson is –and always has been– a lying sack of shit.
