Mike Johnson: “New York is about to elect a Marxist the mayor of New York…”

“He's doing this for his own benefit. He is afraid he's going to get a challenge from the Marxist left in his party. Remember, he's a senator from New York. New York is about to elect a Marxist the mayor of New York City. He is terrified that he's going to get a challenge to his left flank and he's going to lose his seat. He's been in Congress for 44 years.” (05:09–05:14)
