In his first remarks after being reelected as House speaker, Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana called for a moment of silence to mark the New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans.
“Of course, these are difficult days in our home state of Louisiana, where I come from,” Johnson said in the House. “We all know about the terrorist attack in New Orleans and it’s really shaken our state. People are reeling from that attack.”
The attacker rammed a pickup truck into a crowd, which killed 14 people and injured dozens more.
