During a conservative gathering in Phoenix, Arizona, attendees expressed their dissatisfaction with House Speaker Mike Johnson. The audience booed Johnson after an anti-vaccine activist criticized the failed bipartisan government funding bill that Johnson had helped negotiate before it collapsed under the direction of President-elect Donald Trump.
At Turning Point USA’s “AmericaFest” conference, actress Leigh-Allyn Baker, known for her anti-vaccine stance, falsely claimed that the spending bill contained provisions mandating vaccines and other public health measures. She called out Johnson for his involvement in the negotiations, asking the crowd how they felt about it, which led to loud boos.
