Overview

  • In Capitol hallway footage aired by MSNBC, Rep. Madeleine Dean told Speaker Mike Johnson the president is "unhinged" and "unwell."
  • Johnson replied, "A lot of folks on your side are too," after which Dean cited Trump's performance before senior military leaders in Virginia.
  • Reporters described the address as rambling and noted a remark about the Nobel Peace Prize delivered to a room of top generals.
  • Dean also pressed Johnson to challenge an AI-generated Truth Social video depicting Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero that she called racist, and Johnson said the post "wasn't my style."
  • The clip reached about 2.3 million views by Thursday and drew online comments about Johnson's response, with outlets describing the situation as a developing story.
