In an outraged statement, Speaker Johnson blasted Democrats for their legal action, saying, “They SUED the USDA for simply asking them how many illegal aliens are on the program in California, New York, and these other states!” Johnson expressed disbelief over the fact that Democrats would actively block efforts to gather basic information about welfare recipients.

Johnson emphasized that asking for transparency and accountability on such an important issue should be standard procedure. “You need to take account of what people are doing here!” he said, pointing out that the government should have a clear understanding of who is receiving taxpayer-funded benefits.

The Speaker expressed frustration at how political games are hindering efforts to make the government work more effectively. “We are trying to get government to work more efficiently and effectively for the people,” Johnson stated, adding that Democrats’ actions are preventing these efforts. He criticized them for putting politics ahead of practical governance.

Speaker Johnson also made it clear that the impasse is deeply frustrating for Republicans who are trying to address what they see as major flaws in the system. “We are getting STOPPED and HINDERED by political games, by Democrats!” he said, underscoring how the partisan gridlock is getting in the way of solving the nation’s problems.

The tension is building as Republicans push for greater transparency and more accountability in government programs, especially when it comes to welfare distribution. Johnson’s remarks reflect the growing frustration among conservatives with what they view as a system that is not working for the American people.

As the legal battle over the USDA’s request for data continues, Speaker Johnson’s comments have added fuel to the already fiery debate over immigration and welfare reform. The issue is expected to remain a major point of contention in the coming weeks as both parties dig in their heels.
