Frost says:\n\n\u201cFor the last 22 days, the American people have had a front row seat to the embarrassment that is the House Republican Conference as they\u2019ve fought one another to select a new leader more extreme than the last.\n\n\u201cWell today they have succeeded in doing just that. Mike Johnson is an election denying, LGBTQ+ hating, extremist conservative who wants to slash your Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and supports banning abortion so that women are forced to give birth to provide more \u201cable-bodied workers\u201d for our workforce.\n\n\u201cHe was the chief architect to overturn the 2020 election, voting to appease a seditious movement that aimed to destroy our democracy for personal gain.\n\n\u201cMike Johnson isn\u2019t here to govern on behalf of the American people \u2013 he\u2019s here to impose his ultra conservative will onto our nation, to drive our economy to the brink of a shutdown if we don\u2019t agree to slash and burn critical federal programs, and to bow down to his self-proclaimed leader \u2013 the indicted former president.\n\n\u201cThe clown show continues, and it\u2019s working folks across Florida and our country who suffer.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://frost.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-maxwell-frost-statement-election-rep-mike-johnson-speaker-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6053039580583572, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
