Speaker Johnson dismisses criticism House is an 'unmitigated disaster': 'We’re cleaning it up'

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) shrugged off criticism of his Republican majority in the House of Representatives, saying that legislating is a “messy” process and that “we’re cleaning it up.”

On the heels of two high-profile failed votes for the House GOP, on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and aid to Israel, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) declared that removing former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in October has “turned into an unmitigated disaster.”
