KELLY JOHNSON: They have little compartments, and they can think on one little compartment at a time and close it. And men actually have a compartment that has nothing in it. So when you ask him, What are you thinking about? And he says, Nothing, he means it."
"The clip ended, and Ruhle reacted with disgust and a few words from Hail Mary: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Are you kidding me? I mean, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? But this is the speaker of the House. But this speaks to what we're hearing, that GOP members, women in congress are saying."
Mike Johnson (R-LA) and his wife Kelly Johnson described men as able to compartmentalize and characterized men’s brains as "waffles" while calling women’s brains "spaghetti." The exchange included claims that men can close off compartments and sometimes genuinely think about nothing.

Ruhle connected the remarks to broader GOP dynamics, saying some women in the House Republican conference feel treated as lesser because of such views. The comments generated frustration and concern among women lawmakers.
