On the Monday edition of Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, the jailbird vehemently attacked Speaker Johnson's approach to legislation calling him an utter failure.
Johnson is proposing a huge omnibus bill that will pass everything the MAGAts and Trump want.
BANNON: And Johnson, because you have failed yet again, here's what Johnson's good at, I finally figured it out over the weekend, here's what he's great at.
He's great at shuffling off responsibility and blame to President Trump.
CNN MAGA wingnut Scott Jennings used Monday's election certification by Kamala Harris to claim Democrats have objected to election results many times over, in order to equate them to the January 6th insurrection by Trump supporters instigated by Trump, who attacked and ransacked the U. S. Capitol in an effort to overthrow a free and fair election.
Jennings lies like no other on CNN and here he is in all his glory performing his liefest task; making them sound almost appealing.

It's not his wife's first Senate term, so odds are, he's been exposed to Black people before.
Maria Bartiromo cosigned Don Junior's claim that many people he knew in New York who were anti-gun, now want to buy a gun and learn how to use them.
Whenever Junior talks about speaking to "people," he's not discussing actual working-class Americans, but rich elitists. Whenever he claims to be speaking to "people," it's just a ploy he uses to bash normal Americans in defense of MAGAts.
Bartiromo tells her audience she also is training to learn how to use a gun.
