Speaker Mike Johnson, a U.S. Congressman representing Louisiana’s 4th district since 2017, criticized Democratic lawmakers in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) between November 5 and November 6, 2025. Johnson addressed ongoing government shutdown issues and recent political victories within the Democratic Party.
The following day, he continued his criticism: “Republicans know this shutdown isn’t a game — there are no “winners.” That’s why we passed a clean, CR funding bill back in September — something Democrats supported 13 TIMES under Biden. Now Schumer and Jeffries are demanding we “negotiate” with them to open the government, https://t.co/fUsrMy8Yge”
In another post on November 6 regarding Zohran Mamdani’s political victory, Johnson stated: “Zohran Mamdani’s victory marks the BIGGEST WIN FOR destructive, dangerous, big government SOCIALISM in U.S. history — and a loss for freedom loving American people. He’s an unapologetic Marxist — fully EMBRACED by the Democrat establishment. Hakeem Jeffries ENDORSED him. Barack https://t.co/6TD50Puf0G”
