Mike Johnson, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Louisiana, recently defended the morals of the Trump administration’s cabinet members amidst allegations of ethical impropriety.
Johnson described the cabinet as “a group of individuals who are committed to serving the American people and have demonstrated the highest ethical standards.” He pointed to their “record of integrity and accomplishment” as evidence of their strong moral character.
However, the defense has been met with skepticism from some critics, who have pointed out the numerous scandals and controversies surrounding several cabinet members, including Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
Despite the criticism, Johnson has maintained his position, arguing that the cabinet members are “good people who are doing a good job.”
