Speaker Mike Johnson is complaining that President Joe Biden called out the Republican Party’s racism. Biden said Republicans, who are led by Johnson in the House, are “worse” than segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond. Johnson lashed out against Biden’s accusation in a Twitter post:
“Outrageous. The least popular President to seek re-election is now so desperate and so underwater in the polls he’s playing the race card from the bottom of the deck.”
