Holy Mike Johnson's Wild Meltdown at MAGA Reps Exposed

Speaker Mike Johnson unloaded on several GOP representatives on the House floor on Wednesday in a tirade described as high-pitched by one.

Johnson took issue with Reps. Lauren Boebert, Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna, admonishing them for not voting to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Section 702 of FISA—which is causing contention among Republicans in the House—gives U.S. authorities the ability to collect data, including emails, text messages, and phone calls, belonging to noncitizens who are not on U.S. soil without a warrant. The three are opposing its approval.

Johnson yelled at Florida MAGA Rep. Anna Paulina Luna on Wednesday, telling the congresswoman that she would be responsible for “thousands of American deaths” if she did not vote to reauthorize the bill, Axios reported on Thursday.

(The Hill) "Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) hosted a delegation of sanctioned Russian officials in Washington, D.C., Thursday, drawing mixed reactions from GOP colleagues and condemnation from Ukraine advocacy groups and the Russian opposition in exile."

"Luna is putting herself forward as a facilitator of dialogue between the U.S. and Russia in pursuit of peace in Ukraine. But she is harshly criticized by Kyiv’s supporters and critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who say she is serving to legitimize war-stained figures."

"Luna provided the Russian lawmakers with a private tour of the U.S. Capitol Thursday evening."

"A congressional aide said they entered Speaker Mike Johnson’s suite of offices through the balcony unannounced, adding that the Louisiana Republican was not present at the time."

There's more to Johnson's "meltdown" than not voting to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Russia, China, and Israel come to mind. Maybe we could lead on this issue by not passing this kind of legislation.
