Via #Harris spox Sharon Yang:
Mike Johnson is desperately doing clean up after promising there would be "no Obamacare" if Republicans win because he knows it's a huge problem that he was caught saying the quiet part out loud.
Aaron Rupar:
Mike Johnson now claims he didn't say what he said: "They took a clip out of context."

in reply to Laffy • • •Johnson, from yesterday:
โHealth care reformโs going to be a big part of the agenda..."
โNo Obamacare?โ an attendee asked...

It's kinda difficult to take "No Obamacare" out of context. (But that's all they've got, so...)
