Speaker Mike Johnson was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about the 250th anniversary celebration this weekend.
Johnson also talked about the threat of communism inside the United States, mainly within the Democrat party. A number of candidates have won primaries that support communism.
The speaker also weighed in on the SAVE America Act, which if passed, would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, and an ID to cast a ballot for federal elections.
“Your thoughts on 250 and to this experiment?” Bream asked.
“It’s amazing. We are celebrating the greatest nation the world has ever seen and it was full of activities and events here at Capitol Hill this weekend,” Johnson said.
“The President was excited to deliver that speech in spite of the elements last night,” Johnson continued.
“The President touched on something. He touched on this idea of the return of communism,” Bream said.
“I know that you talked about this too. Democrats are having to grapple with who is calling the shots in their party as these Democratic Socialist members are having great success,” Bream said.
“I’ve been saying this for years and on the campaign trail for over a year-and-a-half and since Mamdani got elected in New York, I’ve been out on the campaign trail country wide, across coast to coast, every swing district, blue states, red states, saying the same thing,” Johnson explained.
“This is a serious threat to our whole system of government. These are Marxists,” Johnson said.
“They are saying it out loud. They want to abolish all borders. They want to abolish all prisons. They want to defund the police. They want to abolish the US Senate. They want to pack the Supreme Court. They want the government to take over control over all production,” Johnson warned of communism.
“We have to fight this. We are no longer just in an election cycle. We were saying common sense versus crazy. Now it’s common sense versus communism,” Johnson continued.
“The big urgency is to get the SAVE America passed. The President has that as a top priority and so do I. We passed it three times in the House. We are gonna try one more time on a budget reconciliation bill and I think that will be the way to get it through the Senate and finally to the President’s desk,” Johnson continued.
