    Fire him. Both parties are garbage.
  • @organichemone
    The only aid needed is to pay back social security. Stop sending our money to other places than our own country.
  • What garbage, we need OUR house in order. STOP LAUNDERING OUR MONEY.
  • @bigredneck789
    It's not the Senate's money to be pissing away like that.

    Get him out of there. Give him the McCarthy treatment. He has to go
  • @zeke5491
    The money going to Ukraine is absolutely unaccounted for. What about securing our border first? What about we are 35 trillion in the hole?
  • @jimmyleebaker

  • @terryeley6218
    He needs to be fired. It's not the Congress of Ukraine. It's the House of Representatives of the United States. Stop the grift.

    Johnson may be just days away from being a rich man.
