House Speaker Mike Johnson has taken to the microphone to deliver a well-deserved tongue-lashing to the Democrats after they decided to dust off their dusty old copy of “The Rule of Law.” Apparently, the left has suddenly developed an interest in legal principles, despite having spent the last four years cheerleading the lawlessness of President Joe Biden’s administration. Johnson hit back, pointing out the sheer hypocrisy of their sudden concern when they’ve been practically riding a rollercoaster of chaos alongside Biden for half a decade.
The speaker noted it would have been a lot more convincing if the Democrats had decided to embrace the concept of legal governance earlier in the game. Johnson could hardly suppress a chuckle at the Democrats’ transformation from law-above-it-all liberalism into self-proclaimed guardians of order, wondering aloud why such principles didn’t make an appearance during all the times Biden was busy trampling over the rule of law himself. With such a track record, the Democrats might as well have heads of sand sculptures for all the attention they’ve given to the legal process during the Biden administration.
Democrats have found a shiny new object: the rule of law.
It would be admirable, but they spent the last 4 years with their heads buried in the sand while Biden trampled over it.

Johnson pointed fingers at the Democrats’ complicity in the Biden era’s numerous misjudgments. Actions like compelling the middle class to finance the student loans of high-earning professionals or the imposition of vaccine mandates on private companies got a round of applause from the left. Even the radical reworking of Title IX to undermine women’s rights received little more than a shrug from those who now clamor for legality. Johnson’s commentary implied that their hypocrisy must be exhausting to uphold.
In stark contrast, Johnson defended former President Donald Trump, asserting that his so-called “unconstitutional executive orders” were, in fact, necessary actions. He pushed back against the narrative that sees Trump’s maneuvers as unjust, suggesting that the real crime was the Democrats’ whining. According to Johnson, what Trump is doing is fitting squarely within the realm of common sense and a desire for genuine reform. He pointed out that Americans are looking for someone to hack away at the waste, fraud, and abuse plaguing federal programs—and that’s precisely what they voted for.
In a grand finish, Johnson called out the Democrats for their sudden offense at the very executive actions they had previously ignored, pointing out the irony of their newfound “concern.” All of a sudden, Congress appears to possess a moral compass, but only after Trump took the reins. Johnson’s comments resonate deeply, emphasizing that the Democrats’ newfound principles appear more like an attempt to distract from their cozy relationship with lawlessness rather than an authentic desire for justice. The stage is set for a reality check as Johnson ensures everyone remembers who really upheld the rule of law during the most chaotic years in American politics.
