As ABC News, CNN, The Washington Post and MSNBC swoon in the thrall of Kamala Harris’s choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, House Speaker Mike Johnson has stepped forward to offer a dose of reality.

“Tim Walz is a far leftist,” Johnson says. “He’s on video giving sanction to Socialism…he thinks it’s a great idea. He says that we ought to have sanctuary cities and that illegal aliens should be given drivers licenses. He champions abortion and indeed he expanded abortion rights in his state with almost no limits at all.” He adds that Walz clearly does not line up with the values of the American people.

On the Salem Media Group news program THIS WEEK ON THE HILL with Tony Perkins, the Louisiana congressman offered that Republicans thought Kamala Harris might choose to run with Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish and—seemingly by comparison—the more moderate leader of Pennsylvania’s state government and could have put that major swing state in play. “But she couldn’t do that because they have a pro-Hamas wing in the Democratic Party and she was afraid she’d start a civil war in their party.”

That’s what we face. That’s where we are. The objective facts cannot be overlooked…except by what we laughingly refer to as “journalists” in America.
