Biden the comedian? Biden Bizarrely Blames GOP Speaker for Border Crisis, Yet REFUSES to Meet With Him. Joe Biden refused a request to meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson on January 22nd and also turned down “multiple subsequent requests,” despite blaming the House Republican for the border crisis his regime is presiding over. Johnson wants to discuss border reforms with the elderly Democrat. He previously rejected a “border” bill passed by the Democrat-controlled Senate, which would have given tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel but relatively small sums of money for border security. It also authorized many more migrant work permits, among other questionablemeasures. However, Biden is unwilling to discuss an alternative border bill, with his officials claiming the Senate bill is what the House GOP wanted. “What is there to negotiate? Really, truly, what is the one-on-one negotiation about when he’s been presented with exactly what he’s asked for?” claimed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, a migrant herself. Speaker Johnson says the Senate border bill was not what House Republicans had been asking for — as indicated by the fact they oppose it — and that he will “continue to insist” on a meeting with the President. “If the Speaker of the House can’t meet with the President of the United States, that’s a problem,” Johnson warned. The legislative branch is arguably the most important check on the executive branch in the U.S. Constitution, and the Speaker of the House, as second in line to assume the President if the incumbent and the Vice President are incapacitated, the most senior legislator. “I don’t know why they’re uncomfortable having the President sit across the table from me, but I will go in good faith,” Johnson added.
