Sources said Speaker Mike Johnson selected the Greenbrier Resort because it was “family friendly,” in a break from past retreats which have taken place in sunny Florida – the preferred location of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

      Greenbrier is really nice too. But yea, no debauchery is gonna happen there considering there’s really nothing remotely nearby. But the tour of the military installation underneath is really fucking rad.
