Speaker Johnson on Signal Group Chat: ‘They’ve Acknowledged that It Was an Error and They’re Correcting It’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “I just want to say, I mean, thanks to President Trump and his strong leadership and all the -- everybody on that group chat, the leaders on that group chat are extraordinary people. I know them all personally. They're patriots. They're doing a great job for the country. And that was a successful mission. I mean, we're taking out Houthi terrorists. That's what the American people expect the administration to do, to restore peace through strength and to act decisively. So, look, they -- they've acknowledged that there was an error, and they're correcting it. And I would have asked the same thing of the Biden administration. I don't think anyone should have lost their job over that, because an errant number, you know, found its way onto a dialogue between leaders. It's a mistake, but we've got to correct it going forward, and they will."
