New Speaker Mike Johnson supports Biden impeachment inquiry

New House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) supports the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden so strongly that he gave a floor speech in September listing three reasons the inquiry was needed.

He said at the time:

There are three irrefutable facts that have taken us to this point: Number one, President Biden lied directly to the American people. Number two, President Biden’s family and their associates profited millions through shell companies. Number three, President Biden’s federal agencies are stonewalling our legitimate congressional inquiry.

Johnson, the vice chair of the Republican Conference and on the Judiciary Committee when he made the speech noted, "There are so many scandals; there’s so much corruption that’s been uncovered. Every stone that we overturn leads to more and more corruption."

The media, of course, have been trying to ignore the impeachment entirely. People who only watch MSNBC and CNN may not know much at all about what's really going on.

Johnson was quickly elected speaker Wednesday after he was nominated, and the 220 Republicans in the House were unanimous in carrying the Louisianan to victory. "The people’s House is back in business,” Johnson declared after taking the gavel.

President Joe Biden tried to hurry the House back to work on Wednesday as a deadline looms to avoid a government shutdown over the budget.
