House Speaker Mike Johnson laid out a stark warning this week about what Democrats would do if they retake Congress in November. He said their agenda is already on the table: political retribution, reversing tax cuts so families pay more, granting amnesty to illegal aliens, reopening the borders, and restoring taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens.
“That’s quite literally what they’re going to do if you give them the reins back. We can’t do that. That’s their entire agenda,” Johnson said. He added that reporters should chase Democrats through the halls and demand they explain those plans because that is the truth.
Johnson called November 3rd a contrast election, not a routine debate over tax rates or inflation. “This is not a campaign over standard political disagreements. We are entering a new era in American politics,” he said. Starting in January, he argued, Congress would no longer fight over the finer points of policy.
“We’re going to be debating whether or not we’re going to keep the greatest nation in the history of the world or break the thing down to the foundation and go down this dark, dangerous, deadly road to communism,” Johnson said. “And that is not a campaign rhetoric, it’s not, this isn’t hyperbole. That’s literally what they’re doing.”
