House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was pressed during a tense interview on former President Donald Trump's recent rhetoric, including his threats against what he calls "the enemy from within" and an off-color joke at a rally Saturday. When asked about Trump's comments by CNN's Jake Tapper, Johnson said Sunday morning that the former president was referring to threatening, violent individuals, not necessarily his prominent political opponents. Later in the interview, Johnson added, "He's talking about using the National Guard and the military to keep the peace in our streets." Johnson and Tapper didn't only talk about Trump's attacks against an "enemy." "Why is (Trump) talking about Arnold Palmer's penis in front of Pennsylvania voters?"
