The new leader of one of the chambers of Congress that will certify the winner of next year’s presidential election helped spearhead the attempt to overturn the last one, raising alarms that Republicans could try to subvert the will of the voters if they remain in power despite safeguards enacted after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Johnson is a Constitutional lawyer.

It appears he is an originalist.

He might not have put up with the shenanigans which happened in the 2020 elections. If he had been speaker of he House at that time, instead of Pelosi, we might be in a different timeline.

As others have said. He is showing the right enemies.

I knew this was coming. They’re forever going to label him an election denier. Nevertheless, this will work in Trump’s favor as his hopeful discovery in his cases come to fruition.

I love how the MSM and the usual political suspects lazily use the 2020 election narrative to no end yet the Democrats spent the entire Trump presidency trying to overturn the 2016 election while the MSM dutifully went along with their efforts!

“Tried to overturn the 2020 election.”

This phrase is an insidious lie. Questioning the validity, and wanting to investigate the obvious fraud, is not attempting to “overturn” an election. The phrase essentially asserts that the election was legitimate on its face, and that any questioning of it is therefore an attempt to “overturn” a valid result.

The Texas amicus brief he and 100 other Republicans signed onto challenged the states’ election process. SCOTUS threw it out due to lack of legal standing.

Love the way these **holes framed it: “Johnson is more dangerous because he wrapped up his attempt to subvert the election outcomes in lawyerly and technical language,” Hasen said. In other words, he dared to try to use the Constitution as written.

See videos of Johnson in committee hearings. He usually sits next to the vocal guy like Gaetz, Roy, Jordan.

Bingo. Democrats are desperate to prevent a full investigation into the 2020 election. They know that they stole it.
