Mike Johnson Ridiculed For Bizarre Biden Debate Claim
HuffPost
The House speaker is among Trump outriders pushing baseless theories ahead of the CNN head-to-head.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has added to the chorus of baseless claims about Joe Biden’s approach to the first 2024 presidential debate — suggesting the president will be fueled by “a whole gallon of energy drinks.”
Biden and former President Donald Trump go head-to-head on Thursday inside a CNN studio in Atlanta, Georgia.
In recent days, Republicans have been making increasingly bizarre suggestions about how Biden may take to the stage “jacked up” on performance-enhancing drugs, cocaine or even Mountain Dew.
But Trump’s outriders have changed their tune on the Democratic Party candidate.
For months, Biden was cast as being in cognitive decline and too incompetent to return to the White House. Now, a bigger problem is the president’s unverified fondness for heavily caffeinated beverages, their argument runs.
