House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump’s use of a slur against Gov. Walz, citing unfounded fraud claims.
House Speaker Mike Johnson defended former President Donald Trump’s use of the slur "retarded" to describe Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, saying he wouldn’t have used the term but framing Trump’s remarks as a reaction to alleged $2 billion in election fraud.
The comments, made during a December 2, 2025, press conference, drew criticism for downplaying the offensive nature of the language, which is widely condemned by disability advocates.
Trump used the term in a Truth Social post on Thanksgiving, falsely claiming Walz enabled fraud and immigration issues, while also referencing a recent White House shooting.
Despite widespread backlash and a history of Trump’s ableist rhetoric, few Republican leaders publicly condemned the remarks, with Johnson emphasizing the need to investigate fraud claims over the language used.
