“Most recently,” Johnson went on, “the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there. I mean, it’s getting really ugly.”

Though the people behind him appeared to stifle a smile, it does not seem that he was joking, because he went on to say that protesters have attacked officers and people have been arrested.

@b I've been following Johnson for years, and the guy is really too smart to fall for a lot of the nonsense, but he does have to play the game as Speaker.

It's his job to represent the chamber that is dominated by stupid people who actually believe Trump's lines.

But the thing is, Johnson is smart enough to put little tidbits like this into his speeches to make fun of the crowd in ways that would go over their heads.

I think this was one of those times when he's making fun of them, and they don't even know.
