Mike Johnson ripped for 'rampant hypocrisy' after saying Dems 'are violating democratic code'

President Joe Biden's reelection campaign officially ended on Sunday, July 21 when he announced that he was dropping out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Harris has since picked up a lot of endorsements from fellow Democrats —including one from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) — and reportedly, Biden's announcement was followed by a cash haul of over $75 million in less than 24 hours.

But some Republicans are accusing Democrats of not playing fair, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana).

On X, formerly Twitter, Johnson posted, "At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election. Having invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who selected Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president, the self-proclaimed 'party of democracy' has proven exactly the opposite."

Fox News' Chad Pergram tweeted Johnson's claims, accusing Democrats are "violating" norms.

Pergram posted, "This claims to be the party of democracy. Small d democracy. 14 million people went through the process and chose this nominee, Joe Biden and now got together and decided he's no longer suitable. That's not how this system works. They are violating democratic code. And I think that's the problem and I think there'll be a lot said about that in the days ahead."

Johnson's claims, echoed by Pergram, have drawn plenty of scathing criticism from X users.

Liberal firebrand and former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann wrote, "F--- off, you incomparably unqualified a--clown Go deal with the superannuated mentally declining lunatic atop your own anti-democracy ticket."

Olbermann added, "Also go look up Teddy Roosevelt's decision not to run in 1908."

Trending Politics' Collin Rugg sarcastically posted, "The group of people who have been telling me Trump is a threat to democracy just staged a coup on their democratically nominated candidate? How could this happen?"

Music producer Zenn Gordon wrote, "He willingly dropped out after pressure from Democrats to do so. This isn't an attack on democracy like your disgraced cult leader's failed coup was. Losers don't get any sorer than you MAGA losers."
