‘I’ve not seen them cross the line yet’: Mike Johnson seems perfectly fine with Trump’s federal agents shooting pastors in the face

House Speaker Mike Johnson basically told a reporter he doesn’t think Trump’s federal agents have done anything wrong, even after a Chicago pastor was shot in the head with a pepper ball during a crackdown on protesters.

When you hear about federal law enforcement officers using aggressive tactics, like tear gas, pepper balls, and even rubber bullets, on unarmed demonstrators, journalists, and members of the clergy, you’d think that would be enough to warrant some serious questions from Congress. However, for the top House Republican, it looks like there’s nothing to see here.
