Mike Johnson apologized to Joe Biden for rolling his eyes during the State of the Union address, according to a new report.
The report said Mr Johnson pulled Mr Biden aside to “apologize for the eye-rolling meme that was spread around the world”.
In March, Mr Johnson felt he owed Mr Biden an apology. The speaker, who sat directly over the president’s shoulders during the State of the Union address, couldn’t hide his tiredness and exasperation at Biden’s attacks on the Republican Party. The two then met for a Friends of Ireland luncheon at Parliament House, where Mr Johnson praised Mr Biden as “the most famous Irishman in America”. His pint glass, on loan from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, was the same one Reagan used during his 1984 visit to Ireland. The Guinness the Southern Baptist speaker drank was non-alcoholic.
Johnson pulled Biden aside and apologized for the spectacular meme that went viral around the world. The president laughed and told the speaker that Johnson had behaved better than Nancy Pelosi during his predecessor’s speech, adding, “I appreciate you not ruining my speech.” Ta. The speaker replied, “Well, Mr. President, I don’t think his friends back home would have wanted me to light the fire.”
According to Breitbart, Prime Minister Johnson’s office did not deny the apology.
When contacted by Breitbart News for comment, Johnson’s office did not deny the apology.
The apology is the latest revelation that suggests Mr. Johnson’s sympathies lie with the establishment and Washington, D.C., elites, rather than with the voters who elected him to Congress or the Republican conference.
Just last week, Biden cornered Johnson by allowing Democrats to effectively take control of the House of Representatives, thereby allowing Biden’s policies to pass Congress. It was a stark reminder of how often Republicans refuse to use their abilities to advance conservative policies that are popular with their base. Democrats, by contrast, often appear to wield power without hesitation.
