Democrats only needed to flip three seats to gain the majority in the House — they picked up 44 in a massive GOP shellacking
House Speaker Mike Johnson has blasted voters for making the “wrong choice” on Election Day last week.
Donald Trump, Johnson and other Republican leaders were tasked with keeping the majority in Congress, but despite their best efforts, Democrats swept the midterms in a defeat so crushing that it was dubbed a blue tsunami.
Johnson shared regret for the GOP’s shellacking, but not the blame. Instead, the Republican leader pinned it on the Americans who voted against his party on Tuesday.
When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill Monday whether Trump needs to “course correct” after the midterm losses, Johnson said, “I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”
So as we’ve seen for the past 2 years, there is absolutely zero accountability in the Republican party whatsoever. And even after getting their ass is completely fucking handed to them, they still don’t have any capacity for accountability, even personal self accountability to the extent that they would rather blame the people who put them in their position of power to begin with, than to incorporate and impose the will of those people.
What do you expect though when a party who bases their beliefs and ideals on a 2,000-year-old textbook and are not capable of any rational thought of any kind on their own? A shameless party with egos so massive, they’re unwilling to accept reality in any form or fashion, especially if it gets in the way of their ability to make a dollar.
