A shortsighted snub of Kenya’s president by House Speaker Mike Johnson has drawn condemnation from the Congressional Black Caucus. The caucus met with Kenyan President William Ruto on Wednesday and denounced Johnson’s refusal to host the leader for a joint meeting of Congress, an offer traditionally extended to other world leaders.
