Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is slamming voters after Republicans suffered a crushing defeat in last week’s midterm election.

Republicans suffered a brutal defeat in Tuesday’s midterms, as Democrats flipped control of both the House and the Senate. Vice President JD Vance placed the blame squarely on the war in Iran.

But Johnson blamed voters.

“We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead,” he told CNN’s Manu Raju. “I’m sorry the voters made the wrong choice. I really do believe that this next two years is going to be a bit of a circus.”

He continued: “It’s going to be chaos, and I hate to say that, but I think that’s where the Democrats are going to lead the House. And that’s a great tragedy. It really is, because if we had kept the majority, we would have stayed on course to continue delivering for the people, and I just don’t know how that’s going to work going forward.”

But in interviews and at the ballot box, voters made it clear they were unhappy with how things were going in the United States and wanted change.
