Because they want him to show a fight against President Trump … So he said, my gosh, he got his staff together and he got the far left wing of the party. He said, what do you want?”
• Johnson on red herring: “They decided that they would pick a fight on healthcare … They’re delaying it because they needed a red herring.”
• Johnson on separate issue: “The tax credit, the subsidy you’ve heard about that expires December 31st … that’s a December 31 issue” — not September funding.
• Johnson on Schumer’s bill: “This is page 57, an excerpt of his bill, section 2141, where you see the right there that they want to repeal the health subtitle of the big, beautiful bill.”
