White House Trolls House Speaker With Brutally Honest Valentine's Day Card

A card posted on social media read, "Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ The border was crushed/ Because of you."

Looks like the White House sent a Valentines Day card to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) but its message wasnt nearly as loving as the typical V-Day card.

Instead, the card posted on social media noted that Johnson played a key role in defeating a border bill that even the conservative Wall Street Journal called  the most restrictive migrant legislation in decades with long-time GOP priorities that the partys restrictionists could never have passed only a few months ago.

Although many people suggested Johnsons opposition to the bipartisan bill was only to help Donald Trump  in the 2024 presidential election, he claimed that was absurd.

That didnt stop the White Houses social media accounts from sending the speaker a heartfelt and brutal message: Roses are red /  Violets are blue /  The border deal was crushed /  Because of you.

Johnson hadnt responded to the Valentines Day poem as of Wednesday evening, and his staff didnt immediately respond to HuffPosts request for comment.

Still, many people on X, formerly Twitter, noticed the White House was slinging arrows like Cupid.
