Disease will spread in the US. Africa doesn't immunize, Gaza has polio like disease spreading amongst kids. This is dangerous.

I don't believe that a single MAGA mass killer has been found to be "mentally incompetent." There are mental health issues everywhere in the world, but only in the good old USA do we have white, right-wing guys shooting up schools and churches every other month. Shame on Mike Johnson.

This is the time to POLITICIZE these issues, and it’s also time to put Mike Johnson in prison. Enough of this Nazi nonsense. There’s not a single sitting Republican plague rat who shouldn’t be ending their time on this earth in a prison cell. Throw away the key. They are ALL seditious traitors.

So he's stating directly that Americans have less heart and worse mental health than Europeans. 🤷‍♀️

I’ve received multiple notices from my state’s health insurance marketplace about my increased premiums that will start in January: now approximately $1000/month

It’s both you idiot

Is there a bigger a**hole? I think not!

He's right. The problem IS the human heart. I hope Johnson finds his some day.

Problem is skeezy little traitors like Mike Johnson

He is one of the most egregious and disingenuous of these liars because he knows better. A lot of the people surrounding Trump are genuinely not very bright. But he is smart enough to know better. I wish he could go some place farther away than to hell.

The GOP and the billionaires who fund them never saw a mass shooting that made them want to change course on making them routine in the US.

He says it's not the time to politicize while politicizing. He has no intention to help the mentally ill as he just cut healthcare spending. The problem with the human heart is his lack of one. At another point, he tried blaming the entire trans community. His religion is toxic.

Gay Mike Johnson should take his head out of Bo-Cankles ass!

He's such a asshole

So Mikey, are you saying only America has mental health issues then? Cause other countries don't have this much of a problem with gun violence. So guess that means they are all much healthier than anyone in America. Good to know. Sigh.

Mike Johnson should take a long look at his mental health for supporting pedo trump and do something about assault weapons.

Okay sure so I guess the human heart is much more healthy in Canada and in other countries where people don't shoot their own children what does this say about your country Mike

I hate that little man!! To the WH, GOP, Republican Senate and SCOTUS 🙌 A plague in all of your houses.🙌

"We don't care how many people or children die, we like having the political backing of the millions of people that just really like buying and collecting guns."

If anyone is under the mistaken assumption that this regime wants anything good for us. Let me disabuse you of this notion. They want to harm and “traumatize”, their words not mine, all of us.

So why would you give a “mental health” problem a gun?!??!????

Hey MAGA Mike -- how quickly can one person slash 18 or so people with a knife, killing two of them, compared to 150+ bullet casings?

And they said there were 500 rounds at the CDC. So how long would it take to make 500 stabs into a building?

yep -- and while there have been horrific stabbings (those were in either crowded places, etc) .. these two were shots from the outside through the windows .., hard to do that with knives!

Hard to stab outside a stained glass window, too

Stop with this shit!! No gun, no bullet, no death. Too difficult to understand you moron?

Remember - Before you die of a preventable illness: Take one of the bastards with you. Make them pay.

Little MAGA Mike, talk to us about New Zealand after the Christ Church shootings. In less than 6 months assault weapons were gone, gone! All these GOP fuckers taking bribes from the gun industry. Recommend we send the lot of them down range.

If the problem is the human heart, why are we the only country that has it? Is he saying Americans are heartless?

Well asshole, speaking about the human heart, where the fuck is yours?

If people would just cooperate by dying quickly after they got sick, were injured, or retired the MAGA/GOP wouldn’t have to cut healthcare.

Funny. All the autopsies of children list their cause of death as gunshot wounds. Not one of those kids was killed by the human heart, although the collective lack of one among the GOP certainly isn't helping.

Gunshot wounds are a top cause of child deaths; GOP’s inaction fuels the crisis.

Johnson is a twisted, evil, little man.

Journalism is failing us. A good follow-up would be: If gun violence is caused by mental health, then Speaker Johnson, how does stripping nearly 12 million people of healthcare help the problem?

And what has the GOP done about mental health, except continually squashing funding for it.

the problem is the guns regardless of how republicans spin it Republican Death Cult and I won't back down...

Which explains why they are so hell bent on removing mental health care.

Unthinkable in any other developed nation on this planet

If the guns were not out there those with mental health issues could not get them. PLUS, every single time the mass shootings revolve around White Christian Nationalism. Blaming everyone except those who push the hate, ie this regime, is also the problem.

Same could be said about drugs.... "At the end of the day the problem is not drugs. The problem is the human heart. It's mental health."

He is a political shill… guns, and mental health are both contributing in addition to other variables… damn Republican hypocrites

Jobless Johnson is what should be

That's so weak, Mikey!!!

How about getting rid of the guns why we figure out the mental health problems?? They are going to get worse because gop has destroyed healthcare completely with their big ugly bill.

How much are we allowed to despice a person?

The mental problem resides in Congress. Greedy bastards.

Mental rehabs instead of more prisons might help.

If I have an evil heart and a warped mind how much carnage could I possible cause if I don’t have access to a gun?

So should our prayers be for God to perfect humanity or to repeal the F’in 2nd Amendment?

So, we should hand people with dangerous mental health problems a weapon of war?

It's the guns. The guns.

Tell him put his kid in public school then

It’s actually local, state and Congressional Republicans that protect gun violence. But sick human hearts and mental illness mean the same thing.

That is absurd. It is absolutely access to guns that is the problem.

“Thoughts and prayers.” “There is something deeply hypocritical about praying for a problem you are unwilling to resolve.” -Miroslav Volf

Great quote

The Republican self-owns just keep writing themselves.

Uhm, it’s definitely guns. I own many, I hunt, shoot, but I promise you it’s guns. There needs to be a better system.

So 11 million people are costing $1tn? That would mean healthcare for each is, what, a million dollars a year? That seems…excessive. Even if that $1tn is over the course of the term of this government, that’s still $200k per year.

If you mean the lack of heart in Republican “leadership” you’re right.

If the problem is mental health, then why are Republicans constantly defending mental health care? Any way you slice it, this is a republican problem.

They continue to take dirty money from the NRA and spout BS.

The problem is guns you hobbit.

Hobbits are good man

Not being able to afford Rent, health insurance and food, can really mess with the human heart and mental health. There are too many American that are struggling. You can’t regulate mental health. Cause even the most sane people can lose it under the wrong circumstance.

The people who say that gun violence is based on mental health problems make sure that mental health funding is drastically cut.

I don't keep my mental health in my heart.

The problem is guns. Every country in the world has mental health issues. Only in the United States are 7 year old children gunned down at school by angry, white males with guns. The guns ARE THE ENTIRE PROBLEM!!

Good distinction.

Yeah maga is making us insane!

"The problem with gasoline is that any flame even close to it will set it ablaze. So let's allow literally anyone to play with matches."

Yet Republicans have killed efforts to have mental health background checks be included in order to purchase guns. What a lying pos.

I don't think much of The Hill. thehill.com/opinion/camp...

The problem is you, buddy.

Know what contributes to good mental health? Shelter, food, access to health care, a stable and safe environment, personal freedoms. Fix that AND fix the gun problem!
