House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the Democratic Party has been taken over by "crazy far-left radicals" and criticized Democrats for voting against condemning communism and socialism. Johnson argued that the upcoming midterm election is crucial for preserving the country and that the Democratic Party's platform now includes radical policies such as abolishing police, prisons, and private property, defunding national defense, and granting mass amnesty.
