Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House | 2023-10-25 | 2023 | 2023-10 | Democrat | House | FL | Maxwell Frost | F000476 | frost.house.gov | frost | https://frost.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement following the election of Congressman Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House of Representatives. In a statement, Rep. Frost says: “For the last 22 days, the American people have had a front row seat to the embarrassment that is the House Republican Conference as they’ve fought one another to select a new leader more extreme than the last. “Well 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 “able-bodied workers” for our workforce. “He was the chief architect to overturn the 2020 election, voting to appease a seditious movement that aimed to destroy our democracy for personal gain. “Mike Johnson isn’t here to govern on behalf of the American people – he’s here to impose his ultra conservative will onto our nation, to drive our economy to the brink of a shutdown if we don’t agree to slash and burn critical federal programs, and to bow down to his self-proclaimed leader – the indicted former president. “The clown show continues, and it’s working folks across Florida and our country who suffer.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
