Mike Johnson Calls Himself ‘Triage Surgeon’

Wait 5 sec.

“Mike Johnson doesn’t even try to put his phone down anymore,” the Wall Street Journal reports.“Almost three years after he took over as House speaker, the Louisiana Republican’s job is more overwhelming than ever. The self-described ‘wartime speaker’ is working to advance the GOP agenda with only a narrow majority while managing unruly colleagues—and fielding calls from President Trump at all hours of the night—as he looks to rally Republicans to a history-defying win in the midterm elections this fall.”Said Johnson: “I’m like a triage surgeon in an active battlefield. All I do is go from crisis to crisis, hemorrhaging wounds, all day long.”
