Biden Raises Eyebrows After Saying Mike Johnson Is ‘Dead on Arrival’

President Joe Biden is raising eyebrows after a comment he made about House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)

On Monday, Biden was asked about Johnson’s opposition to his Supreme Court reform proposals.

The top Republican has said they are “dead on arrival.”

When asked about that comment, Biden responded, “He is.”

“He is. Dead on arrival,” he added.

I know he’s been bullied into ending his political career, but reminder that this individual who can’t even deliver a coherent joke is still the President of the United States — who his whole team (including Kamala Harris) lied and insisted was fine a week ago. https://t.co/2nTHX1nkZP

Seems like Joe Biden just threatened a member of the legislature. https://t.co/WTuiqbV5zZ

The White House later tried to clarify Biden’s comment, insisting the president was speaking about Johnson’s “thinking.”

This is incoherent and pathetic

Taylor Haulsee, a spokesperson for Johnson, said the explanation was “incoherent and response.”
