House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) found himself in a contentious interview on Sunday while appearing on “Meet the Press.” Facing off against Kristen Welker, Johnson was peppered with questions about Donald Trump’s health. While he offered laudable push-back, the scene exposed the deep rot infecting mainstream journalism.

In the first part of the exchange, Welker insists that Trump started a FEMA program redirecting aid to illegal immigrants. That would be the same program that recently came under fire after DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced they had no more money to deal with hurricanes this season.
Kristen Welker tried to humiliate Speaker Johnson and she ran into an absolute buzzsaw.
All politics aside, it’s glorious to see a smug journalist cut down to size like this 👏
