U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Saturday attempted to cast President Joe Biden as a “disgrace” to the presidency, but was hit with pushback from all sides.
Johnson was recently re-elected as Speaker after several of his fellow Republicans voiced displeasure with his performance in the role.
On Saturday, he focused his sights on Biden.

“Biden is ending his term in disgrace,” Johnson wrote on his social media. He then added, “In his final weeks at the White House, he has: – Pardoned his son for crimes Biden insisted never happened & despite repeatedly saying he wouldn’t – Granted clemency to murders and rapists (a slap in the face for families of their victims) – Celebrated shamed politicians like Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton who lied to the American people and did everything they could to try to take down President Trump.”
Johnson added, “January 20th can’t come soon enough.”
Journalist John Harwood replied, “You serve in disgrace.”
Democratic influencer Harry Sisson responded, “You bow down to convicted felon Donald Trump every damn day. You give in to lunatics like Marjorie Taylor Greene. You are everything that’s wrong with politics. President Biden is a great man and a great president.”
Artist Art Candee chimed in, “Donald Trump is a rapist and you’re simping for him.”
“Spare me,” they wrote Saturday.
The insulting comments toward Johnson came from the right, as well, with failed MAGA candidate Valentina Gomez writing, “He gave them medals and pardons because you didn’t hold anyone accountable.”
“Your hearings, investigations, and strongly worded letters did absolutely nothing, Mike,” she wrote on X.
