Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) slammed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and former President Trump’s joint press conference, saying it was full of “outright lies.”
Clyburn was asked how he feels Friday’s press conference in Palm Beach, Fla., affects the Congressional Democrats’ ability to continue working with Johnson on Capitol Hill. He said the joint showing at Mar-a-Lago will not have a “whole lot” of impact because the Democratic Party puts the country over “any candidate.”
“We will always put this country over any candidate and it seems as if the Speaker is putting candidate Trump over the country, of these United States,” Clyburn said during his Saturday appearance on MSNBC.
“And we will never do that. We ran on the platform of putting people over politics and we’ll continue to do that,” he continued. “So when it comes to preserving this democracy, moving an agenda forward to benefit the American people. We will set aside the politics and not worry about this press conference full of bad information, misinformation, disinformation, just outright lies, and that’s what they were doing.”
