Sign if you agree: Speaker Mike Johnson is a dangerous extremist
After House Republicans embarrassed themselves for weeks before picking a new Speaker, they settled on a relative unknown—Rep. Mike Johnson—hoping to hide their extremism.
Make no mistake about it. The GOP choice for Speaker is Jim Jordan with a jacket and a smile.
Mike Johnson is an anti-LGBT bigot. As an attorney for the right-wing Alliance Defending Freedom, he supported anti-sodomy laws and called gay people a "deviant group."
Mike Johnson wants a Christian theocracy. He believes a separation of church and state is “the opposite of how we were founded as a country," distorting the words of Thomas Jefferson.
Mike Johnson does not believe in democracy. He has argued that we do not live in a democracy, but that instead that we live in a "biblical republic."
Mike Johnson is an anti-abortion extremist. Not only does he support a federal abortion ban, he has blamed abortion for school shootings and our economic woes.
And, he was a leading architect to overturn the 2020 presidential election results—colluding with Donald Trump himself to have Congress reject the Electoral College votes of swing states.
As Trump runs again for president and House Republicans try to keep their narrow majority, every single Republican must answer for the extreme views of their new leader Mike Johnson.
