‘Textbook example of gaslighting’: Mike Johnson’s delusion reaches record levels of high as he blames the media for supporting the Dems

Mike Johnson refuses to accept that the majority of Americans believe the ongoing government shutdown is due to the Republicans. Instead, he is once again placing the blame on the Democrats and accusing the media of twisting the facts.

During a recent segment on Fox News, Mike Johnson made some outrageous claims while trying to divert blame from the Republicans for the government shutdown. When asked by the interviewer about an NBC news poll showing that 52 per cent of 1,000 registered voters blamed the Republicans for the shutdown, Johnson claimed that the polls were “all over the place” and suggested they were rigged. He stated that “the entire media establishment” is “parroting” the Democrats’ talking points. He also described the event as the most “staggering” level of “gaslighting” that people have “ever seen in American politics.”
