Rep. Johnson: The New Speaker Will Be in the ‘Same Old Stupid Clown Car’ if We Don’t Fix ‘Foundational Problems’

‘That’s not going to get it done’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "I’m pretty frustrated still. I’m angry. I try not to make decisions when I’m angry. I would counsel all of my colleagues to, listen, let’s take a couple of deep breaths over the next couple of days. And before we make any decisions about accountability, before we make any decisions about who should be speaker of the House, let’s make sure that we’re clear-headed and we’re actually focused on what can move the House in the right direction, because, Anderson, if we don’t fix what — the foundational problems of the House Republican conference, the new speaker is just going to be in the same old stupid clown car, but a different driver. That’s not going to get it done."
