The House of Representatives finally has a speaker in Rep. Mike Johnson, a relatively little-known conservative from Louisiana. The 51 year-old congressman was elected unanimously by his colleagues, ending weeks of chaos in the Republican caucus. NBC News' @Ali Vitali tells us what we need to know about this new speaker.

I mean yeah, why don't they simply answer that "No such thing happened and it looked like that due to the following reason:[the reason/explanation]". Many, including me, believe that he was closely involved, so why doesn't he refute the claims? Booing someone out happens during bad shows, not when a journalist asks a question which many US-citizens (and foreigners, I'm neither living in the US, nor was born in that country) have. This makes him look _very_ guilty and the whole group compliant.
