‘Stinks to High Heaven!’ Speaker Johnson Claims ‘Rigged’ Election Accusations Are ‘Impossible to Prove’
Johnson admitted he had no evidence for the fraud claims and promoted a voting-restrictions bill he said has 90% public support.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed President Donald Trump's allegations of election fraud in the Los Angeles mayoral race on Monday, admitting to CNN's Manu Raju that the claims are "impossible to prove."
- Trump and allies alleged the Los Angeles mayoral race was "rigged" against Republicans after candidate Spencer Pratt fell to third place as mail-in and provisional ballots were counted.
- Refusing to call the race "rigged," Johnson told Raju, "I'm saying it stinks to high heaven." He argued California should deliver results faster, citing India's ability to count votes in 24 to 48 hours.
- When Raju pressed whether Republicans raised fraud claims only because they lost, Johnson shifted focus to the SAVE America Act, claiming it enjoys more than 90% public support without citing sources.
- Sources told NOTUS that House members must check with the White House before proposing legislation, with Trump reportedly joking he holds such power over the chamber that he is the real House Speaker.
