Speaker Johnson Reveals Democrat Secret
House Speaker Mike Johnson blasted Democrat leaders Sunday for refusing to end the government shutdown — accusing them of “weaponizing hunger” and blocking vital aid while President Donald Trump works tirelessly to reopen the government.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Johnson said Democrats have “dug in their heels” to protect bloated partisan spending and illegal immigration perks instead of helping American families.
“This isn’t about politics — real people are losing,” Johnson said. “Democrats are holding the government hostage to protect their own power.”
❌ Democrats Blocking Food Aid, Troop Pay, and SNAP Benefits
Johnson revealed that Democrats have voted 14 times to keep the government closed, stopping essential payments for the military and millions of low-income families.
“They’ve shut the government down to protect free healthcare for illegal immigrants as part of their $1.5 trillion left-wing wish list,” Johnson said.
He warned that 42 million Americans on SNAP food assistance could lose benefits if Democrats refuse to compromise.
“Women, infants, and children are already losing access to nutrition programs that President Trump and his administration have worked heroically to sustain,” Johnson explained. “The impact is becoming very real for millions of families.”
🇺🇸 Johnson: “Trump Is Fighting for Ordinary Americans”
Speaker Johnson praised President Trump’s leadership, saying the president’s frustration with Senate gridlock and the filibuster is completely understandable.
“He’s a big-hearted president who wants veterans, seniors, and families to get the care they deserve,” Johnson said. “He’s tried everything to negotiate, but the far left refuses to act in good faith.”
Democrats, he said, are the ones “using people as pawns” by refusing clean funding bills proposed by House Republicans.
“President Trump is bending over backward to take care of the American people,” Johnson added. “The Democrats are playing political games while families suffer.”
💡 Republicans Have the Plan to Fix Healthcare
Johnson also pushed back on criticism from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who suggested GOP leaders were hiding healthcare reforms.
“That’s completely false,” Johnson said. “Our committees are finalizing a plan that will bring down premiums and increase choice.”
He reminded viewers that Obamacare — created by Democrats — has driven premiums up more than 60% since 2010.
“Only Republicans will fix this broken system,” he said. “Democrats talk about healthcare while Americans pay more and get less.”
⚔️ Defending the Homeland: Trump’s Strike on Narco-Terrorists
Johnson also defended the Trump administration’s recent military strikes on drug-smuggling boats, calling the actions “necessary and justified.”
“These cartels are as dangerous as al-Qaida,” he said. “Their boats carry poison that can kill tens of thousands of Americans. President Trump is protecting the homeland — his number one duty.”
🔍 Epstein Transparency: “We’ve Released the Documents”
Johnson dismissed claims that he delayed the swearing-in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) to block votes on the Jeffrey Epstein documents, calling those rumors “ridiculous.”
“She’ll be sworn in when Congress reconvenes,” he said. “We’ve already released 43,000 pages of Epstein’s estate records, including flight logs and financial ledgers.”
Johnson reaffirmed the GOP’s commitment to transparency:
“We’re for maximum transparency — always have been,” he concluded.
⭐ Final Takeaway
Speaker Johnson made it clear: President Trump is leading — Democrats are obstructing.
While the left plays politics, the Trump administration and House Republicans are fighting to reopen America, protect families, and restore order.
