Trump’s appearance with the House Speaker comes as many from the MAGA coalition slammed Johnson for voting against a provision that would have required the FBI to acquire warrants before surveilling a citizen’s communications.
The 45th president also took questions regarding the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate.
“You look at what we’ve done with Roe v. Wade… We did something that everyone said couldn’t be done.”
“The Democrats are the radicals on this,” he added.
