The hard-right wing of House GOP poised to grow even larger next year
Washington PostMAR 12 2024
GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson has accused CBS News of intentionally misleading its viewers by cutting parts of his interview with the news outlet.
Posting on social media platform X, Speaker Johnson claimed that CBS had cut "five important minutes" of a "nearly 15 minute interview' as part of an alleged attempt to "promote Democrats and undermine Republicans."
In a thread, Johnson posted two side-by-side examples of clips edited by CBS versus the Speaker's full answers. The passages cut out by CBS contain discussions of a Biden administration lawsuit against Virginia election laws and the House's passing of the SAVE Act.
