Speaker Johnson is defiant in the face of new calls for him to vacate the Speakership:

Hi @FBIIndianapolis, thereâs a convicted child s*x offender who was charged with child p*rn and is now working at a bar which hosts drag shows for KIDS in South Bend, Indiana.
He claims to still have urges as recently as 12 months ago.
A few years ago, Senator Mike Braun was finding himself in hot water over his support of Black Lives Matter, a racist extremist organization, while criticizing law enforcement.
He appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to respond to a segment Carlson had done about him. This was when Tucker Carlson was still on Fox News.
More than two years after Rayshard Brooks was fatally shot by Atlanta police, the case against the two officers involved has been dropped.
The special prosecutor announced Tuesday afternoon that he would not pursue charges against the officers. Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, shared the decision during an afternoon news conference.
Rayshard Brooks was drunk, resisted arrest, and took the officer’s Taser and used it against the officer. The use of lethal force by police was justified by any objective observation.
The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) gave Braun a 100% rating. Mike Braun steadily increased his NAPO rating from 2019, where he earned a mere 33%. Braun got a 60% in 2020 but has maintained a 100% rating since then.
Braun said that if a violent crime is committed, an individual assaults a law enforcement officer or distributes drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine, they will âface the full weight of Indiana’s justice system.â
Standing with law enforcement
Braun said he would propose âsignificant salary increases and advanced training opportunitiesâ for law enforcement, âensuring that⌠officers have the resources and backing they need to perform their dutiesâŚâ
Braun said he would also âchampion policiesâ that enhance the recruitment and retention of officers, as well as improve training and support their well-being.
Interestingly enough, his plan also includes protections of qualified immunity.
Protect qualified immunity
Braun said qualified immunity is a âcrucial legal doctrineâ which protects officers from personal liability while they perform their duties. Braun said his commitment is to provide officers âwith the confidence and legal safeguards they need to make decisions in the best interest of public safety.â
