A day after President Donald Trump told top-ranking generals and admirals that the U.S. is fighting a "war from within," Speaker Mike Johnson said the president's comments show his ability to "take crime seriously," whereas House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the remarks were "disturbing."

The two politicians spoke on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday about the president's statements along with the government shutdown, which took effect at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday.

While Johnson said he had not heard Trump's remarks on Tuesday -- as he was "a little busy." Johnson, who was pressed about whether training troops in American cities was appropriate, said Trump's comments were "cherry-picked out of a long speech."

Trump said Tuesday that the military's job is not only to protect the United States from threats abroad, but also what he repeatedly referred to as a domestic enemy in American cities.

1. Once again, an M$M article where all the administrations talking points are put at the top

With one mealy-mouthed word (i.e. "disturbing" ) from a Democrat. This trend among large media outlets is so obvious at this point it cannot be anything but purposeful IMHO.

As an aside I really hope an honest recount of what Jeffries said would contain stronger words than "disturbing"

2. To Decode the nonsense

They mean Democrats and Liberals. The ones who pay the bills for the Red States.

3. Did that guy release Johnson's Grindr profile yet?

That's probably what was keeping him busy.

5. I've been waiting to hear that as well.

I guess he never said what time on Wednesday.

6. "Enemy within" sounds like straight-up Nazi propaganda.

Turnip also called the (free) press "the enemy of the people". Can't remember whether the Nazis or the Leninists or the Stalinists came up with that one.
