GOP Rep. Promises 'President Johnson' Will Save Ukraine

Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) mistakenly called House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) "president" during an interview about the importance of defending Ukraine.

"For five months now, has Speaker Johnson given you any assurances that he is going to bring Ukraine aid to the floor?" NBC's Kristen Welker asked Turner on Sunday.

Welker did not correct the congressman.
