When Dotard has another OMG! moment, and there are a BUNCH of them, the Repub universe has their typical response.

 There has been a running joke in Washington, D.C., for years now that when Trump does something inappropriate, Republican senators and representatives can simply say they “haven’t seen the tweet,” that they “didn’t hear his comments” or that they “haven’t seen the article.”

But Johnson has taken that “see no evil” response to a whole new level. Over the past few months, the speaker has claimed ignorance on everything from Trump’s crypto dealings to the president’s reported relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s pretty incredible. He hasn’t seen the article. He hasn’t heard the comments. He doesn’t know the details. It is quite a convenient excuse. It means that he, as the speaker of the House of Representatives, one of the most powerful people in the country, doesn’t actually have to answer for his actions and inaction.

Johnson is just burying his head in the sand. This approach to power isn’t just weakening our nation’s system of checks and balances — it is directly hurting our country’s system of representative democracy.

Nothing new here, but it gets SO old….
