Pious phony Johnson criticizes Omar on Kirk comments: 'Clearly' has 'no idea what she's talking about'

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday pushed back on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) characterization of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk as someone who did not embrace civic debate to the extent people have suggested since he was assassinated.

Omar, who said she was “mortified” by Kirk’s murder in an interview with Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan on Thursday, called conservatives who blamed the left for the shooting “full of s—.”

“She clearly has no idea what she’s talking about,” Johnson told Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.” “She has not followed Charlie. She’s playing into this characterization of him that the left has been advancing.”

“There are people actually celebrating his murder online and that tells you everything you need to know about that side. We’ve got to get — cut through that,” he continued.

So he was a polite racist and misogynist.

dick. In every possible way, he's just a dick.

Yes, I know that many people hate Ilhan Omar around here, but she was relatively respectful and she wasn't wrong.

She is not trying to canonize Charlie like you conservatives are. You are trying to place Charlie along side St. Ronnie.

To them, all the hate Kirk spouted was hate they agreed with so how could it be wrong?

Reveals the Speaker of the House in the dumbest revelation ever spoken by a speaker of the house. Really? Online people are mean, trolling, and disrespectful. You don't say. Next he will tell us there are algorithms built intonsocial medium to enhance that affect because hate and rage drive engagement...
