Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson (LA-04), is deeply concerned about the “crazy communists” posing as Democrats and Socialists. Republicans hold the House with a narrow 219R-212D majority. There are four vacancies. The House could flip to the communist-led Democratic Party.
During a Saturday interview on Kayleigh McEnany’s Fox News show, Saturday in America, Speaker Johnson warned of the danger. They could quickly turn this country into something unrecognizable.
The media seems to be in their corner.
Johnson said there are no examples of socialism [communism] working.
He called this year’s midterms a “contrast election” and said they will come down to “common sense versus communism.”
He said:
Communism and this philosophy have led to the murder of more than 100 million people in the last century. It has never worked anywhere it’s been tried. And the reason is because it runs completely counter to human nature and to the principles that made our country the greatest nation in the history of the world.
We believe in individual freedom. We believe in limited government. We believe in free markets and free enterprise and the dignity of work, and all these things that have made America exceptional. They want to turn all of that upside down.
We are at a crossroads and could head down the path of communism. There are too many communists and radical Islamists who could win in this year’s election. They are bullies and have brought establishment Democrats under control. Democrats won’t fight. Maybe that’s because they like communism and the ultimate singular power it brings?
🚨 NEW: @SpeakerJohnson told me, “these insurgent left candidates are winning the Democrat primaries all across the country.”
“The barbarians are inside the gate. It’s very, very serious stuff.”
Speaker Johnson explained that communism “begins with the wrong premise.”… pic.twitter.com/i46VTR8hfG
