House Speaker Mike Johnson has sparked controversy by defending the Supreme Court's decision to grant former President Donald Trump absolute immunity from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office.
Appearing on Fox News, Johnson dismissed concerns raised by Democrats as 'hyperbole' and 'madness,' despite widespread criticism that this ruling could set a dangerous precedent for presidential accountability. Critics have slammed Johnson's defense as 'gaslighting,' pointing out that Trump has been accused and even convicted in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial, highlighting the severity of the allegations against him.
This defense comes amid a polarized political climate, with many fearing the implications of such a ruling on the future of American democracy.

Granting Trump immunity just blasts open the door for future presidents to act without fear of consequence; it's a dangerous step away from accountability and justice.
