Johnson Cancels MAGA Fest Appearance With Trump

Raw Story reports:

Steve Bannon’s War Room first reported that Johnson had decided not to speak at AmFest, a conservative conference organized by Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.

The president-elect, his son Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and incoming border czar Tom Homan were also expected to attend the event over the weekend.
