Open Letter to Speaker Mike Johnson

Open Letter to Speaker Mike Johnson

Subject: President Trump Lying on the Floor of Congress

Mr. Speaker, under your leadership in Congress, I expect you to hold the proceedings to the highest standard, beginning with truthfulness. 

Congress is no place for lying, especially incessant lying by the president or his vice president. I expect that you will uphold the rule of law without hesitation.

Unfortunately, you have permitted the President to lie incessantly and repeatedly even when his lies have been refuted with the facts. 

Until the President acknowledges his lies with admissions and apologies for each, I want you to censor the President from further addresses on the floor of Congress.

Furthermore, I expect you as Speaker to hold the same standard for members of Congress. While some issues are debatable, the facts must be presented to support what the parties believe is the truth.

Let the people decide truthfulness based on facts and the source of facts on merit.

Your incumbency and your legacy depend on you being the bearer of and enforcer of the truth.

When I tried to send this email to you, your website does not permit correspondence outside your district even though you are the Speaker of the House for all Americans. That is wrong.

Sincerely,

James George
District 1, Ohio
