The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, has developed a go-to response when asked about something controversial Donald Trump or members of his administration said or did.

It’s some version of “I don’t know anything about that.”

    I do not understand why no one has asked him if he isnt keeping up with current events in the government how can he be an effective leader of the house?

    I know the answer is simply he is there to rubber stamp anything Trump wants but someone needs to ask him a hard question. Hell even follow up the next day like “you said you hadnt seen Trump call Americans garbage yesterday now that you have had a day care to respond?”

      I’m gone to need your press pass, and your network is now under investigation by the appropriate regulatory authority.

      They just don’t answer and then that reporter is never allowed to ask questions again.

      The media is thus a handy tool to legitimize their bullshit.
