Speaker Mike Johnson: 'I Refuse To Put People Over Politics'
A typo or a Freudian slip? Whatever it was, new House Speaker Mike Johnson's first fundraising e-mail did not go according to plan.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) appeared to get his words mixed up in one of his first fundraising emails since taking the top House job last week.
Johnson capped a standard fundraising message Friday with a new turn on a familiar phrase: “I refuse to put people over politics.”
That apparent mix-up garnered jeers from House Democrats and their allies, eager to go after the new leader.
The unfortunate e-mail.
The reaction was as you'd expect.
