Are you surprised that after three weeks of political turmoil, MAGA ratf–king and homophobic nuttery, the Republicans suddenly got it together over the course of 24 hours and have now confirmed a Speaker of the House? Once Tom Emmer got taken to the woodshed by the craziest members of the GOP caucus, I figured we would have another two weeks of chaos. But no – they pushed Rep. Mike Johnson through on Wednesday. He won 220 votes. So who is Mike Johnson of Louisiana? A bigot, a ratf–ker, a homophobe, a Christofascist and the man who will do the most to serve Donald Trump\u2019s interests. From WaPo:<\/p>\n
\nHe opposed certifying the 2020 election:<\/strong>
Johnson, 51, contested the results of the 2020 election \u2014 urging President Donald Trump to \u201cstay strong and keep fighting\u201d as he tried to overturn his loss to Joe Biden in the presidential race. Johnson also objected to certifying Biden\u2019s electoral win and was one of the architects of a legal attack on the election that consisted of arguing that states\u2019 voting accommodations during the pandemic were unconstitutional. He led a group of 126 Republican lawmakers in filing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court alleging that authorities in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan had \u201cusurped\u201d the constitutional authority of state legislatures when they loosened voting restrictions because of the pandemic. The court rejected the underlying complaint \u2014 filed by the state of Texas \u2014 citing a lack of standing, and dismissed all other related motions, including the amicus brief.<\/p>\nHe voted against further Ukraine aid:<\/strong>
Johnson, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, was one of 57 lawmakers \u2014 all of them Republicans \u2014 who voted against a $39.8 billion aid package for Ukraine in May.<\/p>\nHe is antiabortion:<\/strong>
Johnson, a constitutional lawyer who identifies as a Christian, opposes abortion and has celebrated the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that had established constitutional protections for abortions nationwide.<\/p>\nHe is a close ally of Donald Trump\u2019s:<\/strong>
Johnson is a close ally of Trump\u2019s, having served on Trump\u2019s legal defense team during his two impeachment trials in the Senate.He has called charges against Trump \u2014 which include a federal case relating to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election \u2014 \u201cbogus,\u201d and has said the legal and political systems have treated Trump unfairly.<\/p>\nHe supports LGBTQ+ restrictions:<\/strong>
Johnson has positioned himself on the far right of the political spectrum on several social issues, even within the current conservative Republican conference. Notably, he introduced legislation last year \u2014 modeled after Florida\u2019s \u201cdon\u2019t say gay\u201d bill \u2014 that would have prohibited discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as related subjects, at any institution that received federal funds. The Human Rights Campaign, a pro-LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, gave Johnson a score of zero in its latest congressional scorecard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[From WaPo]<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, WaPo is actually soft-pedaling Johnson\u2019s homophobic bigotry – for years, he has supported the criminalization of gay sex and the criminalization of anything and anyone not cisgendered and heterosexual. He is a far-right extremist on LGBTQ issues, reproductive issues and democracy itself. He began his first day as Speaker by making a churchy speech from his new pulpit. Hakeem Jeffries also spoke on the floor and that grotesque nutjob Marjorie Taylor Green actually tried to shout him down. We are so f–ked.<\/p>\n
