A Russian state TV host has celebrated Mike Johnson becoming the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Trump-supporting Republican was elected to the role this week after 22 days of deadlock after Kevin McCarthy’s ousting earlier in October and failed bids from other candidates, including Jim Jordan.
In a clip from Russian TV channel RTR Planeta, translated by Russian Media Monitor, Olga Skabeeva said Johnson would “suit” Russia because of his stance on Ukraine.

He’s yearning back to those exact circumstances. Hence ‘conservative’.

Yeah, I’ve never known the term to mean anything else.
There are few real conservatives in the US. Generally when they exist, they’re called liberals.
