Mike Johnson actually said...

"More dangerous than any baseless smear, our own government institutions, which exist to serve the people, they are being weaponized against us."

"They tell us we must blindly trust them or face the consequences, even though our government has a long history of lying to us, the American people."

"They say they are doing this for us, that they are doing this for our own good, to protect the people. In reality, the truth is, they think that we are too stupid to think for ourselves."

"This is not and cannot be reduced to partisan fight. The stakes are too high."
