Politics Iran lying mike johnson
Trump lapdog Mike Johnson said Iranians use their religion to lie to people they disagree with and the entire internet held up a mirror for him
Donald Trump has assembled a collection of morally bankrupt con men to serve throughout his administration. The better the liar, the higher the position within the White House.
Exhibit A: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
For a man so close to the top, Johnson has a startling lack of knowledge about the goings on around Washington. Whenever he is asked about something unsavory his boss has done, he will claim ignorance, repeating the oft-cited phrase: “I am not familiar with those events.”
And now we’ve found out why. Because when he does offer his own opinion, it’s wildly racist and ignorant.
Here is how Mike Johnson chose to assess the the U.S.-Iran negotiations:

RIP, irony. You’ll be missed.
Twitter unleashed on Johnson in the replies.

This is a total lie, along with being racist and religiously bigoted. First off, we, the United States are the ones that break deals from the JCPOA to the MOU. Second, “their religion” is Islam, so he’s calling all Muslims liars here. Third, Trump lies like he breathes. https://t.co/edLK56YBDU

The lack of self-awareness is astonishing. Look in the mirror Mike.

Keep in mind: Each accusation they make is actually a confession.

How can Mike Johnson condemn the Iranian government for its lack of honesty when our own nation is led by one of the most notorious liars in global political history, an individual recognized for their persistent and habitual dishonesty? -DW
