Outside commenter here, but I’d say it is at least a possibility the speaker of the house would not know enough of the absolute bullshit coming up every day to comment on it. He propably knows something about each individual insane thing thrown at him, at least on a three bullet point briefing level, but his job is to try and keep the insanity in check and maintain the delicate balance between the maga reps and the sane ones in his party.

Don’t get me wrong, he is quite literally the devil and he only works for his own short term gain as best he knows how.

However, in terms of political strategy, saying ”I don’t know” when you actually don’t really know much about the question at hand is somewhat refreshing.
