Johnson argued The party is in “Development” stating that they do not have a leader, vision or direction for the future.
“They are stirring at this time, so they turn to these mischief,” he said. “They want to fight Trump. They want to fight against the first United States agenda. They want to fight against all of us. Therefore, they degrade appearing on the floor of the house and acting as children. It’s sad.”
“This is an unfortunate day, and I would like we had not had to follow this path.”
