Quote:The House GOP’s election of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), the architect of the conference’s legal strategy for challenging President Biden’s presidential win in 2020, is putting election denialism back to the center of the national conversation.
[...]
Republicans after picking Johnson didn’t want to talk about his role in challenging Biden’s victory; when an ABC News reporter tried to ask Johnson about his 2020 efforts, she was booed by several members while Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) told her to “shut up.”
To Democrats, Johnson’s rise was clear evidence of the former president’s grip on the party. The brief selection of Emmer, after Republicans had rejected two conservatives in Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, had been a victory for the center, said former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).
“They moved right the first two times, and then when they moved to the center, that center lasted four hours,” he noted. “And Trump dictated that that was not an acceptable choice. And so he was rejected out of hand.”
