Steve Scalise

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has come out against a sweeping censorship bill which could imperil the future of free speech on the internet.

On Saturday following the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, CBS was out of control in demanding Republicans be the ones to lower the proverbial temperature and alter their rhetoric to soothe our collective body politic. Of course, as our Alex Christy wrote about earlier, they even expressed concern about the well-being of…themselves.

Gary Gensler, the eco-obsessed Securities and Exchange Commission chair, went on CNBC to make a pathetic attempt to defend a recent, outrageous decision forcing American businesses make climate change-related disclosures.

One standout segment from Sunday was ABC host George Stephanopoulos just pressing and pressing Rep. Steve Scalise demanding he say the 2020 election wasn't stolen. And he wouldn't accept "Biden's the president" as a satisfactory answer. I'd say "did you try asking Hillary this question?" He doesn't press Democrats on their election denial, even Stacey Abrams.

Morning Joe trashes newly-elected Republican Speaker Mike Johnson. Willie Geist, citing an unnamed source, describes Johnson as "Jim Jordan with a jacket and a better haircut." Charlie Sykes one-ups Willie, approvingly quoting Never Trumper ex-GOP congressman Adam Kinzinger as calling Johnson, "Jim Jordan in drag."
 

Morning Joe mocks Republican Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, as "Dumb-Moves Comer." This, despite the show having rolled a clip of Comer denouncing as a "dumb move" the decision of eight Republican Congressmen to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, and block his replacement by Steve Scalise.

Joe Scarborough accuses Republicans of endangering national security by not coalescing to elect a Speaker, but ignores that Democrats could help elect a Speaker immediately if they cast enough votes for a Republican.

During his opening monologue on Wednesday, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel took time to recap the House GOP’s decision to nominate Rep. Steve Scalise to be Speaker of the House. As part of these developments, Kimmel profiled Scalise whom he attacked for not embracing gun control despite almost being assassinated.

Failed New Mexico politician Solomon Pena, who lost his race for a state House seat in November but refused to concede, has been arrested for allegedly hiring four men to shoot up the houses of local Democratic politicians (thankfully no one was hurt). The PBS NewsHour spent 10 minutes covering Pena, and prominently noted his support for Trump and Pena referring to himself as a “MAGA…

The shocking attack at the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave The New York Times all the excuse it needed to blame violent Republican rhetoric. Reporter Catie Edmondson launched the blame game in Sunday’s edition with “Pelosi Attack Highlights Increasing Fears of Violence Incited by Politics,” blaming not the deluded home invader himself, but some mean…

Eight House Republicans on Tuesday joined their Senate counterparts in proposing legislation aimed at curbing left-wing political bias in email services’ spam filters. 

Given how CBS Mornings and the network morning news shows covered the January 6 hearings versus the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it wasn’t shocking to see that a Tuesday segment warning about political violence ignored the party ID of those attacked five years ago on this date in Alexandria, Virginia (congressional Republicans), the gunman’s tilt (progressive),…

“This is why Big Tech needs big changes,” House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) said Tuesday, citing Twitter’s hypocritical censorship practices. Twitter has failed to censor Washington Post Reporter Taylor Lorenz’s tweet linking to an article promising to reveal the identity (“doxxing”) of the person running a conservative account that posts outrageous comments made by liberals…

Twitter and other Big Tech social media companies are brazenly censoring America’s conservatives, while providing an open platform for its enemies, House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) says.
