House Speaker Johnson Condemns DNC's Gaslighting and Predicts Republican Victory
House Speaker Mike Johnson launched a stinging assault on the Democratic National Convention (DNC), condemning their rhetoric as a "gaslighting operation" and predicting resounding Republican victories in the upcoming elections.
"What we're witnessing right now is the largest gaslighting operation in the history of American politics," Johnson asserted. "They're trying to convince the American people that what we're seeing and experiencing and feeling isn't real."

The Louisiana Republican excoriated Democrats for touting the economy despite rampant inflation and economic struggles. He further criticized their handling of foreign affairs, accusing them of "appeasing our adversaries" and sparking global conflicts.
Johnson also censured the Biden administration's immigration policies, describing the open border as a "catastrophe" with far-reaching consequences. He accused Democrats of attempting to deceive the public into believing the nation's current challenges are imaginary.

Despite the Democrats' current enthusiasm, Johnson expressed optimism for Republican success. He predicted a growth in the House majority, a regained Senate, and the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
"I'm absolutely convinced we're going to grow the House majority, win back the Senate for the Republican Party, and Donald Trump is going to be returning to the White House because of all of this," Johnson stated.
Johnson's sharp criticism mirrors the broader Republican strategy of highlighting the Biden administration's shortcomings and contrasting them with the perceived strengths of the Republican Party.
The DNC, held in Chicago, has been the stage for numerous speeches extolling the Biden administration and attacking former President Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris praised Biden's leadership and thanked him for his service.
President Biden addressed the convention directly, criticizing Trump and addressing the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. He also touched on a wide range of issues, including COVID-19, infrastructure, and racial justice.
The DNC has also been marked by the approval of a party platform that openly refers to "President Biden and Vice President Harris" and their "progressive agenda" for the next four years, despite Biden's decision not to seek re-election.
Johnson's remarks underscore the escalating tensions between Republicans and Democrats as the 2024 presidential election draws nearer. Both sides are engaged in intense campaigning and messaging efforts to sway public opinion and secure electoral success.
