'You sold us out': Internet slams Mike Johnson for claiming Joe Biden projects weakness to the world

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: House Speaker Mike Johnson took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, April 17, to blame President Joe Biden for the provocative actions of adversary nations, claiming that the latter "projected weakness" on the global stage.

While he shared a clip from his appearance on Fox News to explain his stance, netizens did not agree with Johnson, and instead called him out as a pushover and a "sellout" in response to his tweet.

Speaker Mike Johnson's post

In the clip uploaded by the Speaker on X, he is seen telling Fox News host Larry Kudlow, "You gotta be tough on your adversaries. The problem is ... this President is projecting weakness on the world stage, and that's why all of the nations (that) are our nation's enemies, are acting so provocatively."

"For the Israel example, President Biden and Chuck Schumer have been criticizing Israel and appeasing Iran. The strategy should be exactly the opposite, we should be helping Israel," he continued. "They have been turning their backs on them."

"Of course, this encourages Xi, encourages China. When they see we are not going to stand strong ... and hold the line, they're going to act... We're concerned (about) what China may do in Taiwan, ... we're certainly concerned about Iran's open aggression against Israel, our dear friend and ally. And Russia, of course, is still on the march in Ukraine. We have to stand strong. A strong America is good for the entire world," he added.

Internet rips Mike Johnson for 'weakness' against Biden

"Joe Biden is weak on the world stage, and that is the case, so why do you cower to him? Why do you and your RINO friends give him everything he asks for?" a user asked on X, responding to the Speaker's post.

"What about being tough on securing and closing our southern border / YOU ARE A SELLOUT," wrote another.

"You projected weakness in the House!" exclaimed a third.

"You’ve projected weakness by doing absolutely nothing to help our allies fight our adversaries. Shameful," echoed a fourth user.

"You literally sold us out and then came here to post the opposite of your actions," commented a fifth.
