Mike Johnson slapped with ‘brutal’ community note gutting his brag

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) tried bragging about how productive Congress has been under GOP leadership, only for X’s community notes to call him out.

In a Friday post, the account for the MeidasTouch political news network pointed out a “brutal community note” that appeared below one of Johnson’s posts.

In Johnson’s post, he boasted that “House Republicans passed over 70 bills this week alone,” and touted that the number “adds to our total of over 900 bills passed through the House so far this Congress.”

He continued, “We DELIVERED for Americans,” and then went on the attack, writing, “By contrast, the Democrat agenda is very simple: grievance, politics, bigger government, higher taxes, open borders, and zero security.”

However, the community note pointed out that “the 119th Congress was the least productive in history,” referring to the current Congress.

“No Congress has enacted less legislation or laws,” the note went on, and even called out the House Speaker himself. “Johnson has cancelled a total 63 scheduled voting days in the House, granting members an extra 2 months PTO, with no House votes scheduled until after the election.”

Johnson called an early recess for the House earlier this week amid efforts by Democrats to address AI and a vote put forward by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

MeidasTouch wasn’t the only account to laugh at the community note hanging off Johnson’s post. Former tennis pro turned political commentator Martina Navratilova responded to MeidasTouch by posting, “Mike is #1-the worst majority leader ever.”

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) also called it a “brutal community note.” Florida Democratic congressional candidate Jennifer Jenkins pointed out the community note with an emoji covering its face. “Oof,” reacted The Lincoln Project.

“The community note on this post is example #500 why the American people have zero trust in their own government,” wrote Michael Flynn Jr., the son of President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser.
