Is Mike Johnson this generation’s Dick Cheney?

Charlie Kirk: Christian Values Under Attack, JFK’s Death, & How Trump Changed Politics Forever

It’s been over a decade and a half since Dick Cheney left Washington, but his legacy as one of American history’s most ghastly politicians continues to cast a dark shadow over the nation.

The only bright side of Cheney’s disastrous policies is that they provide today’s ruling class with a precise blueprint of what not to do. Pointless foreign wars? Don’t engage in them. Spying on American citizens? No serious leader should even think about it.

Despite these clear guidelines, modern lawmakers like Mike Johnson can’t seem to help themselves from reverting to Cheney’s neoliberal playbook. And this time, the consequences could be even more dire.

How did we get here? And is November’s election our only hope at reversing course? Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk joined Friday’s Tucker Carlson Live in Wichita, Kansas, to address those pressing questions and more. Click the image below to watch.

Charlie Kirk tells Tucker:

“When Mike Johnson, as a lawyer, voted to say that the FBI doesn’t need to get a warrant to spy on us as American citizens, that drove me crazy… He said, ‘No, I want to give the Biden FBI unrestricted access to all Trump campaign emails, all text messages, [and] all phone calls.’”
