‘Morning Joe’ Panel Mocks Speaker Johnson for Appearing at the Hush Money Trial After Calling Himself a ‘Bible Believing Christian’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “He was the guy that went around with -- with the signup sheet to support Ken Paxton' big lie out of Texas, trying to overthrow American democracy. So you can start there. And you can go all the way to what happened yesterday, unfortunately. And, you know, like I said, yesterday, Charlie, and I'm sure you're the same way, I'm cheering for Speaker Mike Johnson, just like I would cheer for Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, just like I would cheer for any speaker. I want them to succeed because I want America to succeed. And yesterday, was a very, very sad spectacle for America and for an institution I love.”
SYKES: “It was a bizarre spectacle. No, I mean, it's worth remembering that Mike Johnson became the speaker because he had a coup on his resume, because he did play the role in the Big Lie.”
