Based Mike Johnson Strikes Again After House Democrat Stages Shutdown Stunt Outside His Office


RedState 

There's just something about conservative dudes from Louisiana.

I mean, we've got Sen. John Kennedy, who most, if not all of us, would agree is an absolute national treasure with his words of wisdom, razor-sharp wit, and flair for cutting right to the point (him periodically urging his Dem colleagues to file "Hurt Feelings Reports" is classic).

There's also RedState's esteemed senior editor, Joe Cunningham, whose myriad qualities would have to be broken down into a series of in-depth write-ups.

Last but not least, there has been House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04), who, as we've noted, who has been a machine during the Schumer Shutdown, taking wrecking balls to Democrat talking points nearly every day since it started, pointing out each time that the reason we are in the situation we are in today is because Democrats are beholden to their far-left base, which is now led by radical NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Because Democrats are a thoroughly predictable lot, there have been many staged stunts outside of Speaker Johnson's office, including one from mid-October where Democrat Rep. Nanette Barragán (CA-44) falsely accused a Capitol Police officer of "forcibly grabbing" her as she ripped down signs and tried to storm the speaker's office. 

The most recent one involves Democrat Rep. Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03), who on Thursday set up a "change my mind" table just feet from the speaker's office door. 

She accused him of "starving" millions and "gutting healthcare," while insinuating that he's refusing to seat Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) on grounds that he's trying to engage in an Epstein Files cover-up:

Hilariously, Johnson's office responded by turning up the TV that has been situated in front of his office for weeks, and which plays clips that include Democrat Minority Whip Katherine Clark's (MA-05) infamous "leverage" quote on loop:

Sadly for Ansari, the table had to be moved out by people who were likely unpaid staffers (Ansari, meanwhile, is still collecting her congressional paychecks), which left her standing there holding the sign:

Johnson's office took advantage of that as well, using Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) "every day gets better for us" statement against her:

Further, there was also this inconvenient fact:

It would appear that Rep. Ansari is a couple of fries short of a Happy Meal. Change my mind.
