House Speaker Mike Johnson’s antics while sitting behind Donald Trump during the president’s State of the Union speech were raked over the coals on MS NOW on Wednesday morning.
During a review of the president's rambling and abrasive speech, it was noted that the president insisted, once again, he doesn’t need congressional approval for anything he does.
"Interesting that, as he said, I don't need Congress to do tariffs. I'll do it on my own, the speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, leapt to his feet in applause to support the idea that the president of the United States does not need Congress, perhaps not just on tariffs, but on anything anymore," co-host Wille Geist reported.
Co-host Joe Scarborough could be heard saying “Auggh,” off camera before interjecting, “Yeah, Mike Johnson getting weaker by the day.”
“It's it's like the final Harry Potter; he just kind of keeps shriveling up,” he joked. “It's getting sadder and sadder if you listen to the words that he said. I will say it's very interesting.”
Scarborough also noted the look on Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s face as Trump spoke, and suggested, “I thought, that's a woman I probably wouldn't cross.”
