Mike Johnson is demanding that Congress authorize $350bn in funding for the Pentagon.
“You heard the president talk about how he wants to effectively double the funding for national defense. Look, we live in dangerous times. We’re fighting communism on our own shores, and we’re fighting evil terrorists and tyrants around the world, and we have to be able to protect our national security,” Johnson said.
That whole thing about "fighting communism on our shores" in connection with Pentagon funding is rather unsavory.
