Johnson Slammed for “Prayers Only” Response to Flooding
Speaker Mike Johnson’s brief 10-word response to the deadly flooding in central Texas, which has claimed 70 lives, drew criticism. The Guadalupe River near Kerrville experienced a surge of 20-26 feet, causing significant damage and road washouts. Johnson’s comment, “All we know to do at this moment is pray,” sparked outrage on social media, with users demanding action instead of prayers. In contrast, former President Trump declared a serious disaster for Kerr County and offered aid, while state and local officials continue search and recovery efforts.
