Johnson Defends Higgins After Racist Anti-Haitian Post: “He Prayed About It And Then He Pulled The Post Down”

“Clay Higgins is a dear friend of mine and a colleague from Louisiana, and a very frank and outspoken person. He’s also a very principled man.

“I didn’t even see it but he tweeted something today about Haitians. He was approached on the floor by colleagues who said that was offensive.

“He said he went to the back and he prayed about it, and he regretted it, and he pulled the post down.

“I’m sure he probably regrets the language he used. But you know, we move forward. We believe in redemption around here.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Johnson: Clay Higgins is a dear friend of mine and a colleague from Louisiana, and a very frank and outspoken person. He’s also a very principled man. I didn’t even see it but he tweeted something today about Haitians.
