Mike Johnson Declares 'We Are The Good Guys' In Iran War To Fiery Reaction From Critics
HuffPost
The senior MAGA official proudly described America as “defenders of freedom and liberty” and said “freedom-loving people all around the world benefit.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday said the U.S. should not be involved in nation-building in Iran, claiming “we are the good guys” one day after President Donald Trump called his deadly ongoing war there “the beginning of building a new country.”
Johnson was asked during a fireside chat in Doral, Florida, by NBC News reporter Scott Wong, less than two weeks after joint U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, if he thinks nation-building is something “we should be involved in.”
“I don’t think it’s our role,” Johnson said Tuesday.
He also argued the U.S. has “a very important role to play in the world,” citing support from his “colleagues at the G7, the G20” forums and members of parliament in Western nations as purported proof that “everyone around the world” agrees with America’s role.
Johnson said, “And we have held this position since World War II. [Former President] Ronald Reagan used to quote [Pope] Pius, I think the 12th, who said the leadership of the free world was placed upon the shoulders of the United States of America after World War II.”
