NEW YORK — Speaker Mike Johnson said he will call Joe Biden and demand the president send the National Guard to Columbia University — an escalation after protesters constantly shouted him and other Republicans down during a visit to the campus Wednesday.
Johnson, flanked by GOP lawmakers from New York and elsewhere, repeated his calls for the university’s embattled president to step down. But protesters shouted “who are you people?” “Mike, you suck!” and chanted “free Palestine,” making it almost impossible for the gaggle of reporters and others to hear the speaker.
“This is dangerous. This is not the First Amendment, this is not free expression,” Johnson said.
He later added: “If this is not contained quickly and if these threats and intimidation are not stopped, there is an appropriate time for the National Guard.”

Mike Johnson's next move: Laughing all the way to the bank.

I will fight for each state to have their own F22 to be used by that state for defensive measures.
I will fight for each state to have its own missile defense to include Iron Dome.
I will put Americans and The Constitution first when introducing and voting for laws.
National Defense. We should close our borders and defend at all cost.
We need to go back to obeying The Constitution.
My first job was at Pizza Hut when I was 17 still in high school. I loved it.
Congress is bankrupting America. I will fight against spending money we don't have.

Pennies compared to other money he will be getting. Remove him as Speaker, he leaves for a job in the MIC.
Don’t blame the messenger.
My personal opinion: too militant, and seems to support the MIC. He does not address the root of the problem, which will do nothing but continue the cyclic spending and false sense of security.
Better than Johnson, as in Ryan better than Boehner better? I wonder if he made the pizzas and how good they were.
#RonPaul is trending on X right now.
