LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON ― A military spouse caller on C-SPAN pleaded with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) You could stop this, you could be the one that could say, ‘Military is getting paid,’” she told Johnson. Johnson, who sat solemnly through her comments, said he was sorry about her situation but still opposes passing a standalone bill to protect military pay. But he conflated her anger at him for not holding a vote on military pay with his stated anger about the ongoing shutdown. She told her story in tears,” Johnson told reporters.
