0:42Now PlayingHouse Speaker Mike Johnson made a self-effacing joke about his height while addressing the Faith and Freedom Coalition's annual conference in Washington.
"I want you all to know I was four inches taller when I became speaker of the House. They beat me down mercilessly, but I am still fighting because we're in this together," Johnson (R-La.) said about a half-hour before President Trump was scheduled to speak.
