Liz Cheney drops the mic on Mike Johnson for attending Trump's hush-money trial

"SNIP...........

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) roasted her former colleague, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), for showing up to former President Donald Trump's hush-money trial in Manhattan on Tuesday.

Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reported earlier in the morning that Johnson would become the latest politician to show up to show his support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and Cheney couldn't help but note the irony of a devout Christian like Johnson pledging allegiance to a man on trial for seedy hush-money coverup charges.

"Have to admit I’m surprised that Speaker Johnson wants to be in the 'I cheated on my wife with a porn star' club," wrote Cheney. "I guess he’s not that concerned with teaching morality to our young people after all."

Cheney wasn't the only prominent commentator to weigh in on Johnson's display of fealty to Trump.
