Speaker Mike Johnson revealed what he told Joe Biden after getting caught rolling his eyes at the Commander-in-chief during his State of the Union address.
During the annual address before Congress, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court and other distinguished guests, Speaker Johnson could be seen biting his lip, quietly taking in all President Biden had to say.
Though he had instructed his conference to maintain decorum and not interrupt the 46th president, Johnson’s facial expressions betrayed him.
The Louisiana Republican could be seen furrowing his brow, posing perplexed looks and rolling his eyes as Biden simultaneously touted his own accomplishments while bashing the Republican’s agenda.
Just over a week later, at an event on Capitol Hill celebrating the relationship between Ireland and the U.S., Johnson stole a moment with Biden to ‘apologize for the eye-roll memes that went around the world,’ the speaker told Real Clear Politics.
