It's so dumb that he's not letting her do her job, and then complains that she's not doing her job. I've rarely seen someone so unapologetically despicable in my life.

The GOP has been looking for a truly empty vessel without standards to run their caucuses for decades, and each time they get a little closer. They may have succeeded at the worst possible moment with Johnson.

No, but Mitch McConnell certainly has.

I feel like Johnson wins by how slimy he acts. He plays in the swamp so comfortably, and isn't doing his job on top of that.
