Johnson Heckled at Tumultuous Press Conference
Following heckling from Democrats who accused him of lying, House Speaker Mike Johnson asserted that Senator Alex Padilla’s disruption of Secretary Noem’s press conference warranted censure, citing the inappropriateness of such behavior. Democratic representatives Sam Liccardo and Dan Goldman directly challenged Johnson’s statements, with one shouting accusations of falsehoods. Johnson, visibly flustered, declined to directly address the interruptions, instead suggesting the public could form their own opinion of the events. The incident highlighted sharp partisan divisions over Padilla’s actions.
