Follow the MAGA Mike Money: New GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson began his tenure in a swirl of controversy about his positions on abortion and same sex marriage, but a bizarre new fact has come to light: he does not appear to have a bank account in his name.
This should be a MUCH bigger story.
According to a report from The Daily Beast's Roger Sollenberger, "Over the course of seven years, Johnson has never reported a checking or savings account in his name, nor in the name of his wife or any of his children, disclosures show.
In fact, he doesnโt appear to have money stashed in any investments, with his latest filing โ covering 2022 โ showing no assets whatsoever."
Reporting guidelines for the House Ethics Committee mandate the disclosure of any bank accounts that have at least $1,000 with the combination of ALL accounts, including family members and children, exceeding $5,000.
The absence of a bank account, while Johnson draws a $174,000 annual salary plus an additional $30,000 from teaching, is extremely suspicious.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) communications director Jordan Libowitz noted โHe made over $200,000 last year, and his wife took home salary from two employers as well, so why isnโt there a bank account or any form of savings listed?โ
Libowitz added that if Johnson's lack of a bank account is an accurate reflection of his financial situation, it leaves him susceptible to possible financial corruption or manipulation.

Why do you suppose that is?
We already know GOP is inept, but maybe you should consider that it is all BULLSHIT!
@RepLaMalfa We thought maybe you had an inkling of integrity when you voted against him the first time. Apparently not! You showed you spinless character by switching your vote to support an insurrectionist and sexual abuser's cover up that hasn't passed a bill in the 16 yrs. RESIGN!
