House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday defended a House committee push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayokas, as well as refused to affirm President Joe Biden won the 2020 election, asserting the Constitution was “clearly violated.”
In a contentious interview on CBS’ Face the Nation, Johnson, R-La., was grilled on his circulation of a legal brief challenging the outcome of the 2020 election in a number of states.
“By CBS editorial standards [that] makes you an election denier,” host Margaret Brennan declared.
Johnson fired back that Biden was “certified as the winner.”
“What the argument that we presented to the court, which is our only avenue to do so, was that the Constitution was clearly violated in the 2020 election,” he argued. “It’s Article Two, Section One, and anyone can Google it and read it for themselves.”
