What does the statement say?
The Republican described Speaker Mike Johnson as someone who “lies more than anyone I’ve ever met.” No additional context or specific examples were provided in the report. The comment was made while broader reports described the House as experiencing chaos.
Mediaite was the sole outlet cited for the statement. No other media source was referenced as confirming the comment or providing further details.
